Anybody know what all the ex-Sovs are doing in L.A.?

From the WSJ:
Mall Owners Woo Hispanic Shoppers

By MIRIAM JORDAN CONNECT 
PANORAMA CITY, Calif.—On a recent Sunday, Spanish-speaking families swarmed the Panorama Mall here in the outskirts of Los Angeles for an afternoon of Latino entertainment. 
"We come for the mariachi, then we eat something and go shopping," said Gloria Mesina, visiting the mall with her daughter, Viviana, and her granddaughter, Brisa. 
That is music to the ears of José Legaspi, a real-estate broker who joined forces with the mall's owner, Macerich Co., MAC -2.17% to revitalize the shopping center by targeting Hispanics. 
The partners are among an emerging crop of commercial-property investors responding to the same demographic reality that has rocked the political landscape: the rise of Hispanics. 
Hispanics accounted for more than half the population growth between 2000 and 2011; Latinas have more children than non-Hispanics; Hispanic households that earn $50,000 or more are rising at a faster clip than total U.S. households. Their households outspend other groups on beauty products *, food and apparel, according to Nielsen Co.

* Not getting much for their money, apparently.

This Panorama City mall in the WSJ article has been a largely Mexican dump for decades.

But the weather is nice in Panorama City in the middle of the San Fernando Valley (last couple of weeks, the August highs have been mostly in the 80s with low humidity), so my guess is that in the very long run, Panorama City won't stay Mexican.

Filipinos (who work in huge numbers at the Kaiser Permanente medical center in Panorama City, where my late father was a patient), Armenians in Valley Village to the South (who put up those amazingly hostile security fences topped by lethal finials), and other ex-Soviets are likely to push Mexicans out of the middle of the San Fernando Valley. 

Nobody talks much about ex-Soviet Bloc immigrants, but they aren't scared of Mexicans. 

Nobody even seems to know what the ex-Soviet newcomers are doing in the San Fernando Valley. A dumpy 2-bedroom apartment in Valley Village costs about $1700 per month rent, so they must be making money somehow, but the L.A. Times doesn't cover the question and the ex-Sovs aren't the kind to volunteer information.

My nephew from small town Illinois was staying with us for a few months. He played soccer once a week with a Mexican team and twice a week with a Russian team. The Mexicans were friendly (they called him "Hollywood" because he's the kind of blonde, squared-jawed lad that used to be common in Los Angeles back when Robert Redford and Don Drysdale were baseball teammates at Van Nuys H.S. just down Van Nuys Blvd. from Panorama City.) 

The Russians, in contrast, were foreboding and stand-offish. They called him "Red Pants" because he wore red gym shorts, and that's about as far as their concern for any non-Russian went. I kept asking him what all these Russians do for a living, but they never gave him a clue. Overall, I think that was for the best. I told him if the Russians ever suddenly turned friendly and asked him to give them a ride while they ran into the bank ("Keep motor running, Red Pants!"), don't do it.

I've theorized that a lot of these ex-Sovs are the boyfriends / "managers" of pretty Eastern European girls who are trying to be actress / model / whatevers in Hollywood. But that's pure speculation on my part. The Russians are not talking and nobody is asking. I suspect we don't want to know.

Where the Los Angeles Mexicans will go is an unanswered question (a neighborhood near you, probably). But I suspect in the long run LA won't look like it does in Elysium. There are too many peoples in this world more formidable than Mexicans to let Mexicans have this superb climate. If Americans don't want California enough to keep it, lots of others folks will.

That's beneath you, Steve.

I live in L.A., and I see as many or more hotties out walking around when I go to Latino areas like Highland Park than I do in most neighborhoods. The average Latin American woman, and yes that includes heavily Indian Mestizos, is prettier and more feminine than the average American land whale, hands down.

Reminiscent of a battle-royal cockfight, tales from ancient history or those wonderful nerd-based computer games in which mythical olde worlde kingdoms fight it out in the virtual world thus leaving the bespectacled and degenerated thousandth generation descendants of warriors with a non-porn thrill.

And why the consistent and peristant non-rating of Mexicans in any of the manly spheres of life whether intellectual, physical or entertainment?
From what I've seen they are rather hand with a chain-saw and pretty ruthless with it, too boot.

I meet a lot of ex Sovs here in North Jersey, too. A crew at the local garden center loading mulch bags into my car; the new window crew we contracted with HOme Depot; nurses at the hospital and home health care; muggascan tech at the hospital; fellow patients aplenty are ex Sov; my neighbor; my former co-worker's neighbor. They are every where here.

Are there enough immigrants coming from former Soviet countries to impact the demographics of the valley in the long term though? I was just checking annual immigration flows to the US by country, and a very small amount are coming from the former USSR countries these days.
I'm not overly familiar with the SF Valley (only been to the tourist areas), but could other immigrant groups such as Indians, Bangladeshis or even east Africans ever come to dominate this area?
The climate is gorgeous and reminded me of the type of climate experienced in Israel and many other parts of the ME. Perhaps Arabs (including Israelis) could turn this area from a predominantly Hispanic area to one that is Arabesque, especially with increasing amounts of Arab refugees?

The American Californians had it too easy. Great weather, plentiful opportunities, the strongest military in the world, etc.- it turns you into mushy-headed peace proclaiming Eloi. A few generations of that and the Mexicans have started to turn into Eloi too. Of course, if things are going downhill for the country as a whole and the utopia is no longer there, then all bets are off for the newcomer Armenians and Russians as to whether they will too.

I always find it interesting, the way you love to conflate stereotype and ethnic solidarity as, let's face it, its own Conspiracy. But only on the street-level.

If anyone extends this sort of pattern-recognition to Global Elites you back away as quickly as possible, reminding us all that Elites are just Fools that don't understand their own destructive policies (all they need to do is read Steve Sailer, natch). Any and all that do see a conspiracy at this level are either accused of "anti-semitism" or apophenia...often both, and often by you.

Who-whom, indeed.

It's all so clearly calculated. But a day late, and a dollar short on your part. Any day now, HBD will catch on with these people and you'll be able to come in from the cold, right? Unlike issues such as the Global Usury, which you have no attachment to one way or the other, your attachment to HBD/an atheistic worldview is your religion, and thus you can't hide it, even to save your career.

There's something very funny about tha. Like a Norman Mailer atheist joke, maybe.

The category of ex-Soviets is even less informative than that of Hispanics. This is because there was always far less intermarriage in the Rssian Empire/Soviet Union than in Latin America. Both in tsarist and Soviet times most of the various peoples of the empire maintained their own ancient ethnic homelands. So the languages, cultures and genetic makeups remained relatively distinct, far more distinct than anywhere in the Americas. There was some movement away from that setup under Yeltsin, with Moscow going from being overwhelmingly Russian in 1990 to having a large Central Asian community today, but in general the ex-Soviet space is not culturally, attitudinally, linguistically or genetically homogeous. Historically it's never resembled an ethnic salad. The culture of the capital did not drown out peripheral ones.

To give a random example, Ramzan Kadyrov whom Steve has profiled here speaks Russian with a heavy Chechen accent. And he's the pro-Russian guy there.

Where will the Mexicans go? The Inland Empire for sure, and north toward Lancaster. Hopefully not into Ventura County. Already plenty of them in Oxnard and Ventura, but with the ever better weather there those areas may change to Asian too.

I personally know one ex-Sov in Irvine. He has master degree from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MFTI in Dolgoprudnyi),
Ph.D. in Quantum Chemistry from U. of Utah, Salt Lake City, and works now at some R&D company around Irvine.
For Steve's information: he is (1/4) genetically Jewish, (3/4) genetically Russian; no religious affiliation.

To be a little clearer: there's not much of an ex-Soviet quality in ex-Soviet peoples. There's more of it than there is of the ex-British quality in Indians, Burmese, Nigerians and Fijians, but not much more. They are distinct peoples with distinct cultures and attitudes.

Steve, "red pants" phrase comes from a famous russian comedy of 80ies. Color of pants was a mark of distinction of a ruling class. And you should be paying respect to these guys kneeling a certain number of times depending on the color, 2 times - for yellow pants, 3 times - for red pants: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZqNtkh5mAg

Kind of "Ideocracy" movie, made by a brilliant russian director, to show a communistic russian future (as opposed to capitalistic in "Ideocracy").
So, most likely "red pants" is just a nick name used by those russians and not a bad one.


As for what russians do in LA: I personally know 3 russian guys there: 1st - head of IT department, 2nd - VP for development of a social-network startup, 3rd - Masters degree in computer sciences, some senior IT infrastructure guy. Same tendency - in NYC. Another common trait for them: they do not lock them in russian communities, talk to russians only etc.


However, this cannot be applied to Brighton Beach. A lot of russians are ashamed of that place and do their best to never show up there.

Court rules California bypassed requirements for bullet-train process

Officials failed to comply with funding and environmental reviews set in the 2008 ballot measure, the judge says in a ruling over a lawsuit aimed at stopping the project.


By Ralph Vartabedian
August 16, 2013, 10:02 p.m.

A Sacramento Superior Court judge delivered a major rebuke to the California bullet train project Friday, ruling that the state failed to comply with requirements on funding and environmental reviews imposed by voters.

In a closely watched case, Judge Michael P. Kenny stopped short of immediately shutting down the project or ruling that the Legislature made illegal appropriations. But he scheduled a future hearing on how the violations of state law can be remedied.

The government pushes propaganda and policies that undermine the very concept of a nation, so no wonder growing numbers of Americans are jettisoning any feeling of duty toward their homeland like so much gassy ballast. Social atomization and the sheer massive scale of a bloated 300+ million population of competing races, ethnicities, behaviors, and temperaments herded like cats under ever-tightening rules and regulations and surveillance drones doomed to fail are splintering hard-earned loyalty and severing bonhomie.

FYI: The Russians in Brighton Beach are ethnically about as Russian as the residents of Borough Park.

As an ex-Sov, my 0.02 ruble:

Of course you guys made mistake admitting so many of us. Even those of us who have reasonably high IQ and education from USSR's elite schools only compete with Americans for the jobs and most definitely contributed to the wage depression in STEM fields. To be honest, I am quite sure that you would be just fine even without, say, Sergei Brin.

That said, at least we are not as much a problem as Indians or Chinese. Our culture is not THAT different and we assimilate much faster than Asians. E.g., take Steve Hsu. The guy was born in Iowa, got everything he has from America. Yet he is full of pride over his co-ethnics' recent achievements and may even care more about Chinese than white Americans.

Lots of Russians moving into silicon valley. In my experience, very difficult to do business with as are most immigrants from Asia, except the Indians. Different morals. Lots of jewish russians too. Almost all are highly educated.

jody said...

in the near term, other groups can push out the latin americans in US border states, if they show up in numbers. in the longer term, those other groups won't be around to push them out, and the latin americans fill the available space.

only russians have above replacement fertility, all the other former soviet groups are below. i don't think latin americans have anything to worry about when it comes to eastern europeans showing up in LA. it's not a long term trend with big demographic numbers.

My son, a white American who lives in LA, is trying to buy a house. He says all the real estate is being bought up very quickly by Chinese from China. He says they literally bring suitcases of cash. He says that white Americans are being pushed out, as blacks were before, and pretty soon it will be all Asian and Mexican.

Russians are scary people for sure.
Tom Wolfe had some Russian gangsters in Back to Blood.

In the longterm, I'd agree that a lot of the real estate in Los Angeles is just too valuable to stay in the hands of Mexicans. Russians and other former Soviets (especially of Jewish ancestry), Armenians, and Persians all seem formidable and very sharp elbowed.

i think the idea in elysium is that:

1) all the fossil fuels are gone. no more oil, anywhere, ever. no more natural gas. maybe there is some coal left, maybe not. that's possible, or not, depending on the burn rate.

so society, for the average person, gets a lot worse in that scenario. you'll notice that when the camera pans over the endless sprawl of LA, some sectors of the power grid are completely out. there are alternatives to fossil fuels for power - but they aren't good, for the average person. our modern, 1000 watts per day suburban houses and 2 gallons of gasoline per day vehicle usage, goes away.

also not much mining for iron, copper, silver, gold, uranium anymore, all those mines were dug out completely 50 years ago. that takes away stuff like south africa which is predicated on mineral bounty, so south africa goes away. canada and australia are still first world nations, but not rich wealthy nations anymore, as their mineral bounty days are also long over.

2) there's few smart people left. it's mostly third world rabble as they're the only people remaining who actually have reproductive sex.

"Even Mexico doesn't look like Elysium"

well, some of it does. and some of brazil does too. but remember that the good parts of 2013 mexico and 2013 brazil are what they look like WITH oil, with NO robots, and WITH an upper class of europeans running things.

what happens when none of those are true.

1) in the real world of 2013, mexico's oil production steadily declines - the state relies heavily on it to finance the country. in a few decades that revenue stream will be gone. things get...interesting for mexico when the money dries up.

brazil might potentially have more oil than mexico, but it's expensive, offshore, undeveloped oil. that's 150 dollar a barrel oil, so when it does come to market as gasoline and diesel, it won't be cheap. at that price, it can't really be used for economic growth, only to keep things moving. brazil is also a bigger nation than mexico and growing even faster than mexico. it will cross the 200 million people mark before 2020. it can't supply its own oil demand and has less oil per capita. and of course like all oil fields, brazilian deep water oil will all be gone by 2100.

2) good robots replace IQ 87 people in lots of menial jobs (or whatever the mean IQ of the mexican and brazilian underclass is). what do those people do for jobs? are they just idle? idle IQ 87 people are chaos creators. mexico and brazil don't have the massive economy to fund a welfare state like the US does, so they can't afford to pay tens of millions of people to just sit around and watch television (the US won't be able to afford this either in a few decades).

today, an international company like ford might build a new manufacturing plant in mexico or brazil, to take advantage of 8 dollar an hour mexican or brazilian semi-skilled labor. with good robots, those factories are no longer in mexico or brazil, because why would they be? you don't need 8 dollar an hour mexican or brazilian labor anymore. swiss companies like ABB are building robots right now, which will make all those latin american production factories a thing of the past in a few decades.

3) a much weaker, or non-existent, upper class of european rulers to nominally control and guide the nation's companies and government means the nation reverts to crap. so, slowly but steadily, over decades you could have mexico or brazil economically revert into something more like guatemala, peru, or colombia, as the leadership at their companies and central goverments crumble. first world nations can, sort of, weather the decline of the fossil fuel era, but third world nations cannot. all their means of production will go away.

There are a lot of Russian hookers/escorts/mistresses in the NYC area. They claim to be students or part-time models, but service a lot of the finance crowd and celebrities. Prostitution, especially serving wealthy and famous men, is a very lucrative business.

Just the type of business I could see Russians making a killing in. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these Russian mafioso are servicing a lot of Hollywood execs and actors, supplying them with both women and drugs........ and that probably gives the Russians a lot of blackmail power too.

I don't see the SF Valley as particularly desirable, especially in terms of climate, when compared to the rest of southern California. It gets freaking HOT there. And cold.

I also don't see Hispanics being displaced in any of the neighborhoods in which they've established themselves. Unlike Black neighborhoods that either stay stagnant or worse, allowing organic displacement and gentrification more feasible, Hispanics develop their neighborhoods into pedestrian dense small business districts.

This seems to be a prime example of "data" not being the plural of "anecdote". Okay, so there are a bunch of Russians in some parts of LA. There are a lot of Russians in Brighton Beach and Outer Sunset, too, but that doesn't mean the Russians are about to take over New York or San Francisco. The Russians may have made an impression on you, but their numbers are too small to seriously affect demographic trends.

Besides, as things get progressively better in Russia and progressively worse in America, that particular line of immigration will dry up. The way things are going, before long only the worst of the Third-World poor will still want to come here.

Sure. Easy to have a $50K household income when there are 4 people all earning minimum wage.

"Their households outspend other groups on beauty products *, food and apparel."

Yup, more people per household = more spending on food and clothing. Duh.

Beauty products? I believe it. Most Latin women I've known, even the plain ones, are very vain about their looks.

I agree with the commenter who said that Mexico isn't like "Elysium." I've lived in Mexico City and Querétaro. Most Mexicans would shrug at "Elysium" as just another cheap sci-fi pic, good actioner but an unreal nightmare. It has more to do with Blo's African/gringo psychotrauma than Mexico, the essence of which is indefeasible mediocrity or (depending on viewpoint) pleasing laid-backness and traditional living.

Elysium I think is more a vision of the city of Anaheim, the dumb white politicians want to built 14 new hotels and while I know Disneyland gets tourist there are other dumb OC cities wanting to built new hotels, this means more maid jobs and ground keeping jobs and low level cook jobs. The city already is now probably around 53 to 54 percent Hispanic and has a problem with white flight. Its politicians want to make it Santa Ana the second but who would visit Disneyland if the gangs increase around it.

I used to live in the middle swath of the San Fernando Valley (a sliver of Northridge that dangles down into Van Nuys) and the reason why it turned into slums while the north and south ends of the Valley have gone upscale is that the housing stock is largely pretty terrible.

Those postwar houses, like the two-story stucco apartment complexes that collapses en masse in 1994, were slapped up in a hurry and are now falling apart. Some of them are literally just drywall and staples in places. So they either fall into disrepair and end up subdivided, or they're total teardowns like the ones between the 101 and Ventura that have mostly been turned into fake Tuscans or Persian palaces.

But white hipsters and Armenians are slowly pushing the Mexicans out of Highland Park and even the formerly notorious Glassell Park, so I suppose anything's possible.

You need your eyes adjusted. Whenever I'm in California, I notice that virtually no Mexican women are hot. They are almost all overweight, with those terrible barrel shaped torsos and homely faces.

Just returned from a week in NYC. Stayed in midtown Manhattan. The third most common language I heard spoken on the street was Russian. When I took the 7th Ave subway, the touch screens for the ticket dispensers offered instructions in,

1. English
2. Spanish
3. Russian
4. Korean

Easily half of the whites I saw on the street were speaking Russian. Some were in family groups so could be tourists but I also saw Russian women pushing baby carriages while chatting on cell phones and Russian men in business suits conversing. They looked like they lived or worked in the city. The next largest white group were the Orthodox Jews who work on 47th.

This is on the money. I see a lot of Latina women who look like they spent the last two hours and two hundred dollars putting their look together... along with some trashy exposed tattoos and at least 20 pounds overweight.

Gotta respect that they're trying. That's better than the average American woman most of the time. But I think they're trying as a form of intra-female competition, as pushing away from the table would go a lot further than an hour in front of the mirror if they wanted male attention.

However, about a month later, the LAPD busted a Ruskie burglary ring that was doing their business in... the hollywood hills!

Dunno what they're up to these days. Haven't seen them around my parts as of late.

Read the article about the struggling black student - LOLZ.

Things I learned from the article:


-Black people "overcome obstacles" the way you and me change our clothes. (Most of us change our clothes two or three times a day.)

-Nothing is *ever* easy for black people. (Ever.)

-Light-skinned blacks, for some reason, have a lot less trouble academically than dark-skinned blacks. (Was I even supposed to notice this?)

-And, uhh ... everybody's the same. And trying is just as good as succeeding. (At least if your name is 'Kashawn", it is.)

But srsly, read that article.

Most of the time I just ignored these hotties with heavy accents because it was obvious to me that they were either prostitutes or con-artists. There's no way women could be genuinely interested in me since I am very short, very ugly, really weird, very dumb, and have horrible teeth.

Also, this kind if thing almost never happens to me in any other neighborhoods in New York City.

Here in New Mexico there are loads of Latina hotties. I've been to socal and that's less true there, probably due to selection bias - pretty girls south of the border have options other than coming north to scrub gringo toilets, and the Socal hispanic population is more immigrant heavy than the hispanics here, most of whom either came to America long ago, or America came to them long ago. Maybe regression to the mean will even that out.

Also the white women in Socal are better looking than most other regions of the US, so the Latinas have a higher bar to meet.

Where will the Mexicans go? The Inland Empire for sure, and north toward Lancaster. Hopefully not into Ventura County. Already plenty of them in Oxnard and Ventura, but with the ever better weather there those areas may change to Asian too.
Ventura didn't appeal to Asians early enough, there are some Asian areas now in the Inland Empire like Chino Hills and Eastvale. Eastvale is one of the few cities where people can get a house in the 400,000's in a nice area. In OC, its a little strange, some cities like Cypress and Fountain Valley and Westminster and Garden Grove are over 30 percent Asian,and Fullerton, Buena Park appeal a lot to Koreans . Irvine appeals to Chinese and Koreans. South Orange County appeals mainly to whites and then Mexicans to be the whites servants. Maybe, there will be Asian enclaves in Ventura County in the future.

What are you proposing Steve, some sort of dog-eat-dog contest in which the toughest, hardest and wiliest from all corners of the earth duke it out for the posession of S. California?

It's not Steve's proposal, anon, it's nature's and history's proposal (and verdict). Territory belongs to the people with the will and the means to take it and keep it. For some reason this simple truth eludes the thick heads of the multi-cultists, the human-rightists, the immigration moralists, the proposition nationists - all of whom seem to believe it gets decided by UN commissions, or utilitarian casuistry, or magical assimilationist hormones in the water supply, or law codes. (That last works only after possession is established.)

"If Americans don't want California enough to keep it, lots of others folks will" is nothing but a simple statement of truth. And by the way, if a group in danger of dispossession is not doing anything about it beyond complaining about their corrupt political class giving it away without their approval or permission - that counts as "not wanting it enough" in the great scheme of things.

True, in fact New York and New Jersey 5 and under population is much more white than either California or Texas. California is a low 25 percent, mostly Mexican but some Asian. Texas is a low 31 percent, mostly Mexican, some black and a few Asians. New York whites kids under 5 is at 43 percent. New Jersey at 45 percent. Mississippi where whites vote heavily Republican is a healthy 47 percent white, non-white mostly black and a few Mexicans.

The Rio Grande Area of Texas which is the poorest in the US, doesn't always have electricity or indoor plumbing, so yes the US has a region that is already like Mexico.

Well, during the housing bubble period, Mexicans had a great escape which was Nevada, they were able to make better wages compared to La and so forth. And Nevada didn't have the cheap labor thinking of Texas to keep wages low even if housing was cheaper. So, thousands of Mexicans went there, Nevada even has a higher percentage of the population that is illegal. However, the bust effective Nevada pretty negatively and the Mexicans stop going there as much.

Everyone here seems to be confusing real Russians in LA with the movie version. Most Russians in LA don't do much of anything - they are good at getting welfare but not a lot else. The idea that they are super criminals is simply laughable. I asked a sheriff in West Hollywood (in the "Little Russia" area) how many gangster type Russians he had dealt with and he said he had never heard of a Russian even carrying a weapon in his 20 years in the city.
Armenians on the other hand are almost ALL criminals in LA. The poorer ones run drugs and the richer ones engage in any kind of crime that involves getting paper changed - insurance fraud, medical fraud etc. LA Armenians are the definition of amoral. When caught they don't care.

While Hispanics won't be creating new high technology firms and thus won't be helping us maintain our former status in the world I don't think much animus can legitimately be laid at the feet of Hispanic women. From my observation they tend to be more feminine and definitely more maternal than their spoiled white American counterparts. Their maternal inclinations are no-doubt leading to a birth imbalance, but perhaps there will be a silver lining. If enough American men start gravitating to the growing cohort of maternal gals, perhaps the others will get the message and have-it-all feminism will take the nose dive it so richly deserves to take.

I'm already getting annoyed at population conservatives looking to Mormon birthrates as a salvation. Mormonism is unmitigated bunk and the fact that conservatives would even discuss this religion as some sort of population salvation shows just how desperate things have become in the 'convince the gals to procreate' realm. I'd prefer to find a mechanism aside from Mormonism to convince American women to procreate early and often and to temper their out of control materialism/lifestylism.

I also don't see Hispanics being displaced in any of the neighborhoods in which they've established themselves. Unlike Black neighborhoods that either stay stagnant or worse, allowing organic displacement and gentrification more feasible, Hispanics develop their neighborhoods into pedestrian dense small business districts.
This is probably true for Huntington Park or Maywood but in El Monte , lower class Asians moved in and in the Biggest Hispanic large city Santa Ana,it lost some Hispanics during the bad times and gain a few Asians mainly Vietnamese.

Don't kid yourself about white men preferring Hispanic women. True there is a fair degree of miscegenation in CA but white men seek white women first, especially if they are marriage minded. Most white men want their children to be white. If they do marry out, usually because of limited opportunities to meet or date white women, they will chose Asian first because they want smart successful children and a wife without weight issues. Hispanic women are second choice, but they usually pack on pounds and the children frequently have learning and behavior issues. Blacks are last: children with learning and behavior problems are nearly guaranteed.

I'd prefer that "Hispanic" women in aggregate would find a mechanism for underwriting their allegedly superior "maternalism" than the white man's wallet (aka U.S. welfare system). You can squawk all you want about spoiled materialist white women, but I don't think a group with significantly higher rates of illegitimacy and welfare use than them represents paragons which merit holding up as examples to native white girls.

I've run into plenty of white women over the years who wanted to have more than one or two - unfortunately (by your lights, apparently) they came from benighted "old American" culture that considers it shameful to have children one can't support, and to rely on the public purse to provide necessities like food and medical care for them. (And no, I don't mean women who didn't have more children because they preferred to spend the family income on consumer goods.)

As for Mormon chicks, whatever you think about the looniness of their religious beliefs, they do, if iirc, have a significantly better record of avoiding bastardy and "the state is my husband" behavior than the group you so admire.

"I'm already getting annoyed at population conservatives looking to Mormon birthrates as a salvation. Mormonism is unmitigated bunk"

From an evolutionary point of view those two statements are logically incompatible.

However the critical point about Mormon birth rates is not Mormonism but that Mormonism maintains traditional cultural practises that were abandoned under the relentless assault of the 1968-er counter culture.

Mormon / Amish birth rates show that it was cultural changes which undermined white birth rates and that therefore the situation could be reversed if the political elite wanted to reverse it - as the Israelis have done in Israel and as the Russians are trying to do in Russia.

It's only in the PC gulag of the west that population replacement via mass immigration is the only allowed solution.

Honestly though Steve, a good question is why your nephew keeps getting nicknames by people. That's usually not the sign of a very intimidating man.

Comes across as desperation.
And at any rate, the white middle class does that job far more effectively and without any noise, but I guess it fails your obsession with "masculinity" which seems to be defined as willingness to get into a barfight rather than aggressiveness done by other means(usually more efficient ones). Just look at the campaigns of Bloomberg and/or Guiliani and compare them to thug gangs.

Which approach has been more effective?

Typically, Steve posts thinly veiled attacks on the Jews, never going as far as Stormfront would, but he knows that enough of his readers are Stormfronters and they will pick up on his clues and run with them, while he can pretend to sit there innocently.

Steve knows that most ex-Soviets are Jewish. He knows that the vast majority of them are involved in high-IQ professions, with Russian Jews having higher levels of education than anyone else, even American Jews. Naturally highly educated people make more money than those who are less so.

He knows that Russian-speaking neighborhoods are very safe, and in fact, Russian Jews have some of the lowest crime rates in the nation. When they move into the neighborhood, violent crime rates collapse, regardless of who lived there before them: blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians. A few crimes by those who don't like Russian Jews are always highlighted, but you can do that with anyone by finding a few bad apples. On average, however, Russian crime is phenomenally low. Go look up official statistics. All the comments here about how dangerous the Russians are were made by people who have an axe to grind or have no clue: Russian neighborhoods are extremely safe and full of people even late into the night.

He knows that other than the elderly getting Social Security, there are almost no Russians on welfare.

He knows all of this, but it's just more fun to insinuate something negative about them, knowing that one after another, the Stormfront section of the readership will accuse them of crime and other negative behavior.

This is something that appears on this blog almost daily. For instance, his favorite topic is Israel fighting illegal immigration. He knows that the Stormfront readers will run with it claiming that Jews are hypocritical in opposing immigration in one country, while supporting it in the other. But this is BS. For one, these are different Jews (Sephardim, Russian, etc oppose illegal immigration, while Secular Jews support it both in Israel and in the US support illegals.

More importantly, Israel has a higher percentage of illegal immigrants than the U.S. does. Their authorities have tried to hide it, but everyone who's traveled to Israel knows that the southern half of Tel Aviv, the city of Eilat (Israel's version of Miami), and many other cities are completely dominated by illegal African immigrants.

Yes, Israel does some things in response that the US doesn't do, but then there are other things that the US does that Israel does not. Steve makes sure to pick and choose to make sure that his readers get the impression that he wants them to get, while his Stormfront attack dogs will run wild with their comments.

"White nationalists", just like black "civil rights leaders" are frauds who use whatever argument they like to get to whatever conclusion they want to get to. When going with IQ and education suits them as an explanation, they do that. When it doesn't suit them, we hear, "I wuz robbed, no fair!" The goal is never to get the real facts and statistics, but to sling mud at others, whether they are more or less successful, just as long as they are "The Other."

Steve makes comments he likes into actual blog posts, but I bet this one will get blocked as spam.

I'm accused of secretly talking about Jews when I talk about Russians, but when I want to talk about Jews I talk about Jews. Instead, here I'm calling attention to two little discussed immigration phenomenon: the sizable influx into the eastern San Fernando Valley of gentile Slavs and of gentile peoples from the southern ex-Soviet Union.

The Russians that my nephew played soccer with tended to be big, flat-headed, and fair: classic gentile Slavs. There are also Ukrainians, Bulgarians and other ex-Warsaw Pact Slavs in the San Fernando Valley.

The other big group of ex-Sovs in the Valley are Armenians and Armenian-like Georgians and others from the Caucasus.

Go to the Jon's supermarket on Magnolia and Laurel Canyon, for example, and look at the customers: very few look Jewish, while lots look like they are from Moscow or Istanbul.

Jewish immigrants in the Valley tend to be Israelis and Iranians, who are not ex-Sovs.

There are far fewer ex-Soviet Jews in L.A. than in NYC, with their center being in West Hollywood (e.g., Fairfax Blvd.) and the Westside rather than the Valley.

Quothe Sailer: "If Americans don't want California enough to keep it"

Americans care about keeping their honor -- that is to say keeping their moral territory. Since keeping moral territory has been successfully identified, by their "betters", with Americans giving up physical territory, they give up physical territory.
========================


Close. Americans care about being seen as a good person, as defined by mainstream society. Who puts out the standards for mainstream society? The people on the TV, the talking heads, the teachers and professors, the movies, etc.

All those mainstream societal institutions and outlets tell americans that to be a 'good person' you must be accepting and welcoming of nonwhites, minorities, gays, immigrants,etc.

How and why this came to pass is the interesting question. Things do not happen in this universe with a cause. Cause, and then effect. Always been that way.

But no one but me seems to be interested in this question--what forces created this situation? No one cares--probably because the TV talking heads and other voices of mainstream society avoid this question. Which leads to another question, etc etc etc....

I don't know how this compares to Los Angeles but I have a couple of comments about Ex-Soviets living in the Chicago Area. One is back when I was a painter the company I worked for painted large apartment complexes. When the Soviet Bolc fell thousands of Ex-Soviet tradesmen swarmed into Chicago. They were highly qualified but thought that half the prevailing wage was living high off the hog. Just like them not being afraid of Mexicans, they aren't afraid of labor unions either and soon drove many trades down. They were ruthless and weren't above acts of violence, like beating up tradesmen to make them fear coming to a job. Another comment is the fact that as the Chicago Outfit declines, the Russian Mob rises. The Mannheim Road sin strip just south of O'Hare was the Chicago Mob's profit center and main turf. Beginning in about the late 90's, the police blotters and general crime news stories of the area stopped featuring guys with Italian names and more and more guys with Russian names. There was a club in Melrose Park, on Mannheim Road, that was a notorious mob hangout. A while ago the sign went from having an English language name to having a name in Cyrillic script.

"Mormon / Amish birth rates show that it was cultural changes which undermined white birth rates and that therefore the situation could be reversed if the political elite wanted to reverse it - as the Israelis have done in Israel and as the Russians are trying to do in Russia."

Sure, but essential to that effort is displacing the modernist notion that the perfect life involves spending as much money as humanly possible. Capitalism, feminism and anti-Christianity conspired to create this situation. It won't be reversed unless and until materialism is constrained somehow and only Christianity (Mormonism isn't Christianity) can do that, perhaps. Protestantism has completely dropped the ball. But, Mormonism isn't a credible option either, given its obvious fraudulent origins.

Maybe there's a screenplay in this concept.

I've tried a couple times to watch "The Hunger Games" but the prospect of teenagers fighting to the death on TV is too preposterous for me to get into it.

But maybe the idea of Russians fighting Mexicans for access to the climate could grab and hold an audience.

In the Midwest, Russians had a near monopoly on the computer expo and upgrade parts business in the early 2000's. They would undercut the local computer shops while providing an impressive selection. People held off on major purchases until they first had a chance to wheel and deal with them.

"Spencer was raised in a tough L.A. neighborhood by a single mom who had sometimes worked two jobs to pay the rent. Spencer had gone to... Inglewood High... Spencer's mother...exposed her only child to...INGLEWOOD! (emphasis mine)

In case you were wondering, Inglewood is a historically black 'hood, Amerigo Vespucci.

And how many progeny have you sired, Brigham Young?

The Israeli political elite is fractured. The secular Ashkenazi political elite is not at all thrilled about the ultra-Orthodox having all of those babies.

My take s the worst is probably making the US look like El Paso. El Paso is poor and Mexican its a rural version of Santa Ana, but probably the kids finished high school more in El Paso. The big issue is water and the Mexican population grows but is starting to get rid of the Santa Ana high birth rates and even Santa Ana is starting to drop gradually.

Looking at the educational levels of different cities, its seems that illegal Hispanics prefer certain cities even if their present is in almost every city in La or Orange County. Santa Ana still has the most illegals by far in Orange County by looking at educational levels of the community. It has some areas that are between 30 to 40 percent with educational levels 9th grade or lower. Anaheim is between 15 to 30 percent depending upon the west side and hills is even lower. So, the illegals under Reagan first came to Santa Ana and their kids went to Anaheim and other cities. In fact Santa Ana has the most babies and Anaheim is lower and Garden Grove which is about 35 percent Mexican is lower. Illegal immigrants kind of box themselves in certain cities and while spreading are still heavily in certain cities.

Mexicans don't have as many small business as Asians. Santa Ana doesn't have a Mexican version of little Saigon like Westminster and Garden Grove. Mainly because Mexicans do just food while the Asians will have a nail place or a a dry cleaner business or repair place for clothing and so forth. Santa Ana about 10 years almost all the business were in Spanish, some whites pushed for white business in downtown Santa Ana and they are now restaurants and bars that also served whites try doing that in little Saigon.

That's the point, smart-asshole. The women pushed by Hollywood tend to be rail-thin and boyish, not womanly by most normal standards.

A lot of white women in La and OC are middle age, not teenagers or people in their 20's. The housewives of Orange County is more realistic in that the average white women is age 42 not 28 anymore and particularly in California where a lot of young whites moved out. The US census studies show middle age white people, so they probably are not going to be good looking to people in their 20's or 30's.

The women pushed by Hollywood tend to look like 13 year old boys. Makes one wonder who's dictating beauty standards. Especially considering the fad for hairlessness (which coincidentally is mandated in Sharia). Pedocracy?

Well, this is an interesting question? Maybe, most states if they had the demographics of the Reagan years would have lower unemployment. In Texas, I think one study shown whites at 4.8 and Hispanics at 7.1 and blacks at over 9 percent. This means that Texas would probably have an unemployment rate of near Minnesota's 5.2 percent. Troubled California might be around 6.8 percent with a lower Hispanic population. I think Mexicans average over 10 percent in California. This would knock some of the red state versus blue state since some of it is related to ethnic background.

True, but better that than Arabs having tons of babies and outbreeding the Jews.

If there were no Arabs in Israel, the main political and cultural divide would be between secular Jews and religious Jews, but as long as there's a sizable number of Arabs whom the Jews fear, there is no chance of religious Jews and secular Jews fracturing into serious enemies. They will fight over single issues, but they will not fight group vs group. The group that all Jews must unite to fight is that of the Arabs.

Not just food. In Mexico City, it's food AND copy services LOL.

@anonymous 5:01 a.m.: I assume you're the guy who's always complaining about "komment kontrol."

Considering some of the stuff that SS lets through, I'm genuinely curious to see what it takes to get a comment rejected!

Serious suggestion: set up a blog of your own. Call it something like "Komment UnKontrolled." And anytime SS rejects one of your comments, just post it to your own blog, and then submit a comment, bitching as per usual about SS's komment kontrol, but with a link to that post, here at iSteve.

Surely SS would allow *that*.
