I'm not arguing equality. I was only inquiring about genetic superiority and inferiority. I don't even think any of this was in reference to IQs or food or any of that. I think it was only in reference to the phenotype. That's one thing. Instead, why not just say that on average Chinese women are hotter? Why's everyone going to inferiority of the genes?
If you are arguing that those positive traits are from genes alone, rather than the environment, then you are on the infamous "slippery slope." Is Brad Pitt genetically superior to an average man just because he is considered to be better looking by some women? No, it just means he was blessed in a particular area. That's it. It doesn't mean he's more genetically fit or superior, despite any indicators for "high testosterone" or any of that nonsense. Good looks does not mean genetic superiority, just as not so hot looks does not imply genetic inferiority.
(You'll note also that high intelligence and good looks are not correlated either. How is that possible though when both indicate genetic superiority? Shouldn't the good looking people also be extremely intelligent due to those superior genes?)
Also, Winston, not everyone thinks that the true measure of a person is their wealth. That might be a Chinese consideration but not a Filipino consideration at all.
Some people find Chinese food revolting, and I hear much of that infamous cuisine is Americanized and not really all that compared the the original.
I'm not an expert on Filipino food, but having worked with some around the holidays, I've sampled some, I can say I was not horrified or disgusted in anyway. It was actually good.
As for IQ, well you'll find throughout the world in warmer climates people are relaxed about life. Not everyone wants to aim for the hustle and bustle of the major cities of the West.
Sorry man. You aren't very worldly and you don't know much outside of Christianity. Tons of mistakes in your post. Genetics are a factor in everything. Yeah. So it environment. Most scientists say it's about 50/50. Most Americans prefer to believe it's all environment or mostly. It's an American thing. I don't know why.
When I say "superior" I merely mean "higher quality". It isn't meant to sound racist. When you go to the store, there are higher quality products and lower quality products. You know that. Not everything is equal. Why should all races be equal in every way? They are not.
What race are you? White or black? You seem to have a bias here. The 8 examples I gave above indicate that Chinese race is higher quality. That's all.
I never said that wealth is superior. But think of wealth in terms of resources. Those who are better at acquiring resources are better survivors.
You are wrong. There is a correlation between looks and intelligence. Google "looks and intelligence correlation". That was established long ago. Man you need to be more educated. Not counting freethinkers, intellectuals and geniuses, among the mainstream, there is a correlation in that attractive people do tend to have slightly higher IQ's than ugly people. I'm not saying that good looking people are geniuses, but they tend to be a little more intelligent than ugly people among the mainstream.
There is also a correlations between female beauty and singing voice talent. That's why you usually see women with talented voices also have attractive faces.
Additionally, richer countries tend to have higher IQ's than third world poorer countries. So yeah, there is a correlation between IQ and wealth too.
Actually, Filipinos are very materialistic too. They want to be rich too, not poor. Given the chance, they become snobs too. Their upper class is overly snobby. Filipinos consider wealth to be a symbol of higher class. Didn't you know that? Man you are so untraveled.
I don't care if some people don't like Chinese food or if you don't mind Filipino food. I don't give a f**k what you think. We are talking about the world international scene here. Chinese cuisine is internationally famous and considered one of the most popular foreign cuisines in the world. Even Europe and Russia has Chinese restaurants. Sure the Americanized Chinese food may be yuck, but sometimes it's good too. I'm not talking about Americanized Chinese food anyway dummy. I was talking about Chinese cuisine in general.
Chinese food abroad is usually adapted to fit the taste of the local community. That's why in Russia, Chinese food is adapted to Russian taste, and likewise in America. In Asia, people don't like sweet and sour pork for instance, that's an Americanized Chinese dish.
Man get an education! Sheesh. Get out of America and you will see all these things. I hate explaining every simple thing to you that you should already know. Stop playing devil's advocate. It's wasting my time.
You don't see Filipino restaurants abroad except in Filipino communities. They are not popular outside of Philippines. Everyone knows that. Just accept it man. Stop looking for little exceptions. Little exceptions prove nothing.
99 percent of expats in Asia dislike Filipino food. So I don't care if you like it or not.
Btw, you never explained why when FIlipinos and Chinese are in the same country, like America, the Chinese still do better. They get better grades in school, earn more money, become more successful, acquire more assets, cook better food, etc. So even in the same environment, they still do better. Thus it's not all environment, like I said.
