Amazingly Racist Shit you Find on the Internet: Camera Lucida

If anything our “culture” has taught me is that it is built upon complexes… By complexes I mean the mental glitches that people develop that have no place, evidence or existence in reality. It seems like Caucasian Americans more frequently suffer from western miseducation and as a result have some Napoleon-grade grandeur complex in which their ignorance is enshrined by the belief that they are the best, when in actuality they aren’t. When they view someone not of their “prestigious American lineage” they have to find excuses for their talent to preserve their egos.
However, what the evidence says is that Asians have the “professional ethics” to smack any American back into their ignorant place. Immigrants from places like China and Japan grow up in systems that demand that level of performance our lazy days school systems don’t.

I believe in individual freedom, and I am not a proponent of the type of education systems that exist in Japan and China (or at least without evidence they are beneficial). I don’t believe that it is better for a persons individual needs to keep them in school 6 days a week for more than 300 days a year. I assert that the life span of the average human life span increases or decreases with an inverse proportion to the amount of stress you put on a person. Like a seesaw, the more pressure you put on a person to perform at a high level, the shorter their life span. The evidence supports this position, as does the fact that in a patriarchal society men die sooner. Not to say that women aren’t working as hard, but they are under far less duress to perform than their male peers both because of sexism, and because of other cultural phenomenon like (Male Superiority – in which men neglect their health due to a falsely grand sense of durability).

Indeed, it is the fruits of privilege that leads people to believe their arrogance and ignorance makes them superior, and that same privilege that leads people to enshrining ideas into their thinking that contradict reality. In our culture there tends to be a movement which likes to erect cultural concepts to make binding social law where there is no valid reason, even valid reason to against said laws for the purposes of one group over another. An insidious form of cultural oppression which benefits those who are already in power, and detriments those who are already oppressed. I know some of it is religious in nature, because less religious nations are leaps and bounds ahead of us. It’s long overdue that we re-educate our culture to take reasonable assessments of it’s own merit, rather than giving those most effected by it a superiority complex over it. Once again, another reason why privilege and oppression need to end. Believing you are superior is the easiest way to sabotage your ability to learn.
