It's all so. . . predictable.

"While the current stereotype of Asian-Americans is that they are smart, competent and hard-working, a century ago, Asian-Americans were perceived as illiterate, undesirable, full of "filth and disease" and unassimilable. They were perceived as "marginal members of the human race," were denied the right to become naturalized U.S. citizens, and segregated to ethnic enclaves.
But the change in U.S. immigration law in 1965 — which gave preference to highly educated and highly skilled applicants — ushered in a new wave of Asian immigrants. Not only are they more likely to have graduated than those who did not immigrate from their countries of origin, but they are more likely to have graduated from college than the U.S. mean — what we refer to as "hyper-selectivity".
For example, Chinese immigrants in the United States are 12 times as likely to have graduated from college than Chinese who did not immigrate. They are also almost twice as likely to have a college degree than the average American. The hyper-selectivity has resulted in the stereotype that Chinese-Americans (and Asian-Americans more broadly) are smart, competent and hard-working. But they are also vilified for being too smart, too focused on academics, one-dimensional and lacking personal skills." NY-er
If we are actually vilifying people based on an assumption that they excel at something we are collectively ****ed. Regardless of why.
Oh!. . . Wait! - Didn't The New Yorker have a couple of "reporters" who, per Wikileaks, colluded with the DNC and/or the Hillary campaign during the 2016 election - those reporters being David Remnick and Ryan Liza?
So I guess if The New Yorker reports about the Chinese, then it must be true! (And there you go again, trying to conflate Asians in general with Chinese in particular.)
in the examples.
I suppose an error on the part of Yuja Wang will lead to your tossing of her into the same pile as a journey-woman who hits clunkers every other note.
China has a population roughly four times that of the US. If the Chinese government, with its immense power and resources, placed classical music as a goal to increase its global reputation, would it seem less surprising that this has in fact occurred? Similarly, totalitarian governments in E Europe and Russia earlier sought the same recognition through gymnastics. Hard work, Chris? OF COURSE it was. That's rather a superficial point, no? Rather like your comment?
I mean, what kind of subject line is that?
Your supposition about Yuja Wang (wherever that came from!) is as wrong as it is unfortunate. And then from there, you bolt into a discussion of totalitarian governments and gymnastics. Really, I think you're losing it here, tin.
And, indeed, maybe my "work ethic" comment was superficial, but at least it was pleasantly so - and it hardly contained the ludicrous associations you've been knocking yourself out trying to attach to it.
