Ashkenazis have a lot of genetic diseases caused by centuries of artifiticial selection for intelligence; perhaps natures way of saying no Caucasoid people is meant to have a mean IQ as high as the superior Mongoloids."<br /><br />Did this crazy left over from the 1920s eugenics craze woman actually say "Hong Kongoids"? LOL! Genetically race counts for less than 1% of a person's DNA characteristics. One certainly cannot base race upon something so flexible as "phenotype"! <br /><br />Thank goodness for this blog, because this is one of the few spaces in the world where this junk can even remotely be taken seriously giving the crazies an out so that society is somewhat protected from their lunacy. This comment more than any other perfectly illuminates why Southeast Asians don't vote Republican:<br /><br />1. No one wants to align themselves with the losers...sorry.<br />2. Many of you might have gained a bit more savoir fair and recognized the need for the intelligent suit wearing guy as your front man but we colored people know that the ignorant rhetoric usually isn't too far behind. "Hide Billy Bob, company is coming!" Yeah, well we know Billy Bob is still in your ranks. <br /><br />This woman actually pulled out flawed pseudo science from the early 20th century eugenics movement which has been COMPLETELY discounted by any established and reputable scientific source---hilarious! I am printing this out and using it in a blanket email to all of my friends and co-workers with the title: "Why you should definitely vote for Obama in the 2012 election."

They remember campaign questions about whether candidate X is *really* a Christian, or references to Nikki Haley being a "raghead".<br /><br />All of that tasty goodness comes from one side of the aisle. <br /><br />Good luck getting South Asians to lock arms with the GOP base. Seriously, give it your best shot if only for the comedic effect.<br /><br />In 20 years, they'll have enough money and clout to make the Jewish lobby look like the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Are you so deran...<i>Err I didn't make that quote! Are you so deranged that you take a quote that someone else made and ascribe it to me?</i><br /><br />That quote from a hindu organization makes a liar out of you (yet again!) for claiming that hindus do not consider the Vedas to be the eternal truth revealed by God. That was a shameless lie since you surely knew that the in hinduism the Vedas are considered Sruthi or revealed scripture and sanatana or eternal:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Śruti<br /><br /><i>The name for revelation in Sanskrit is Sruti, which means hearing; and this title distinguished the Vedic hymns and, at a later time, the Brahmanas also, from all other works, which however sacred and authoritative to the Hindu mind, are admitted to have been composed by human authors. The Laws of Manu, for instance, are not revelation; they are not Sruti, but only Smriti, which means recollection of tradition. <b>If these laws or any other work of authority can be proved on any point to be at variance with a single passage of the Veda, their authority is at once overruled. According to the orthodox views of Indian theologians, not a single line of the Veda was the work of human authors.</b> The whole Veda is in some way or the other the work of the Deity</i><br /><br /><br />So if you do not believe that the Vedas are eternal and infallible, why do you still call yourself a brahmin? <br /><br />The question remains: what eternal infallible truths do hindus find in the human sacrifices aka purushamedha of the Vedas? What is infallible about the bestiality and necrophilia that is part of the horse sacrifice or ashvamedha???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-13483223888079192022012-09-12T23:33:25.456-07:002012-09-12T23:33:25.456-07:00No they are not.

Whatever good that comes from SBL's is outweighed by the fact that they go toward their competitors. Indians seriously believe they would dominate the SME arena without government taking any sides. But I would say thats no more silly than the guys on these comments claiming whites would be predominant in Ivy Leagues, with Jews and Asians on the outside looking in, if AA was done away with."<br /><br /><br />Hmm...didnt Indian businessman petition the Reagan administration to consider give them minority status so they would be eligible for said loans?<br /><br />4)Indians, and South Asians in general, have all too often been mistaken for Arabs, especially the Sikh's with their turbans. Seeing as Republicans are more anti-anyone who likes theyre Muslim rather than anti-Islamist, Indians are going to go lean towards the party thats less discriminatory..."<br /><br />To an Indian like me, the diff between Arab and an Indian is obvious, unless they are from say Yemen or Egypt or they are fair skinned North Indian or Kerala Muslims with Middle Eastern blood.<br />But yes many white conservatives or even liberals have difficulty telling them apart(to the letters embarrassment)<br />Even then ,I do find it puzzling that Hindu Indians choose to sympathize with Muslim profiling and other discrimination.<br />Heck I don't mind being randomly searched or questioned every now and then as long as millions of Muslims are enduring the same!Profiling white grandmothers or black businessmen in the name of stop terrorism in insanity.<br /><br /><br />6) ...Indians who look like Southern Europeans cant keep them away. They are "white" and yet "exotic" at the same time. Also, white women have some strange infatuation with wearing saree's...<br /><br />I don't know what it is with white women and sarees, it doesn't suit them IMO, the same way an evening gown doesn't suit most Indian girls.<br />Most ethnic clothing is custom made and color co ordinated to bring the best out of the ethnicity of the person wearing it.Most of the colors that sarees come in and the shape and drapery don't suit most Northern European women but Hispanic or Italian are able to ahem pull it off!<br />As Indian guys and white chicks ,its not so much looks as culture..they don't go much for the urban Indian guy who is into Bollywood even if he looks like a Bollywood hero but more likely if he is Americanized i.e. Indian Americans are more likely to date white women than guys fresh off the boats who white women consider dorks! But from anecdotal evidence,Hispanic and black women tend to be more open to their charms!<br /><br />For now trendy ethnic politics trumps economic concerns.Heck given a choice between Bobby Jindal and Obama, Indian Americans would most likely select Obama though not by such a large margin as with McCain/Romney.Dr Van Nostrandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-75272333607256188522012-09-11T21:12:19.317-07:002012-09-11T21:12:19.317-07:00Religion is very important to Indians
