In this thread I want to discuss some differences in behavior I’ve noticed between various races, whether these are cultural or genetic. Let’s start specifically with the way Asian American’s assimilate compared to other races. Asians feel a much stronger urge to conform to their surroundings, I believe this is genetic due to how prevalent it is, they have a very strong internal discomfort around feeling like they stick out or don’t belong, and are thus a very conformist people. This results in intense anxiety whenever they move to a white country where can’t not stand out due to not only cultural differences but also because they look very different.
There is also the matter of Asian societies viewing foreignness differently, I’ve heard many Asian Americans complain about the fact that when they travel to their ancestral homeland, their ethnic kin view them and treat them as foreigners. They are hyper sensitive to variation in behavior, language, and even gait. Some of these guys and girls have been told that they “walk different” by their ethnic kin in their homelands. Once you leave the nest, you carry the stench of foreignness on you and are permanently rejected.
The Arabs are the complete opposite of this. An Arab who moves to a different land never stops being an Arab, if he has children elsewhere and those children grow up among foreigners, they are still Arabs. This is why their culture is so big on pilgrimages, the purpose of going to that rock and circling around it is to remind yourself of who you really are. This is also the reason they are the race that is the most resistant to assimilation. Arabs and Africans are unique in their total disinterest in anything foreign to them. If it’s not theirs they don’t want to know about it. This is also reflected in the way they like to destroy historical artifacts, not just those of foreign cultures, but also their own. They disinterest in anything foreign even extends to their own past. A profoundly uncurious people.
Asians on the other hand are probably the best assimilators, the best example of this is how frequently they adopt white names. Though this is not always about assimilation, for example Koreans in Korea will sometimes adopt an English name in an English speaking work environment: https://www.koreajoongangdaily.com/kjd-special/why-why-do-koreans-create-a-new-identity-at-work-with-an-english-name/10373064
Asians seem to be much better than other races are manipulating their own identity. All Asian societies seem to have some variation of the concept of wearing a “mask”, meaning that they can easily remove one face and put on another to fit whatever social context they are currently in. This call comes back to their intense desire to fit in and fear of sticking out. None this however prevents them from being resentful of whitey, that appears to be universal to all races.
