The Asians are already here : Comments

By Mark S. Lawson, published 29/4/2014

If I start talking about how Asians are everywhere and driving up real estate prices, my Korean-born wife who owns our house just looks at me.

Bearing in mind that you could take the entire population of Australia to China and rapidly lose them in the crowd, it's clear that Asians -- including Indians -- are going to play an ever-increasing role in this country, and every other country around the world. If we treat them politely and with tolerance, we can hope to expect the same in return. If we don't, then we deserve all we get.

The Asians are not yet here in large numbers, but the author notes from personal experience that USNW and the selective high school is full of Asian descent. The inevitable result they are going to displace traditional Australians from the professional and managerial classes. The Chinese in particular have done that already in many Asian countries, read "World on Fire' by Amy Chua. For a statistical analysis of the composition of students by birthplace in the fields of studies in the Australian universities. read "the Howard Legacy", which demonstrates that Asian descent is high in the lucrative and prestige fields of study.
Indeed in UNSW they are the majority.
The simple explanation is that we have a selective immgration policy which favours immigrants with high cognitive ability, which is passed on to their children.

We shouldn't worry about Asians, they're fine people. We should greatly worry though about homegrown morons who are a severe burden in every which way.
They're the anchor holding this country back.

What does the physical location of your wife have anything to do with either the question you asked or the response, or are you suggesting the response may have been different if your Korean wife had not been within hearing? Either way, your research seems a trifle eclectic, when you pose a question and then have a 'recollection' of a reply . . .
