New virus from shithole China

[Black Orchid]

You know even without the coronavirus, China is definitely NOT on my bucket list and never will be. No Asian countries are to be honest.

Cheap and hot. Not my thing.

I had a stopover in Singapore once. Will make sure that NEVER happens again!

Not all of Asia is "cheap and hot", Black Orchid. Most of China isn't. Japan isn't. India isn't. Tibet isn't.

Then by all means go yourself. I have no desire to go to China, India or Tibet. Maybe Japan but there are other places I would prefer to see first.

Yes if you go to hospital in Australia the chances are
that any specialist you see is a person of Chinese descent.
They are very good at the most difficult professions.
The Chinese are more intelligent than us - on average.

They are not "more intelligent", Bobby. They just work and study harder than most Australians. That is why they excel at University.

I agree with Brian on this.

No - I remember my university days -
the Chinese were always getting better marks than me and just
about everyone else.
I used to ask some of them to help me with difficult maths problems and
they would laugh as they showed me because for them, it was so easy.
How humiliating.
They are definitely very clever people.

They just work harder at achieving in school and university. While you were out having fun after school and playing sport on the weekends they would have had their noses in their books and/or having tuition of some sort and is why so many are Doctors with absolutely NO social skills or bedside manner.

No you're wrong.

Well I remember both my son's school/university days and what I said is exactly how it is.

But if you're thick, it doesn't matter how hard you study - you still won't pass.

They aren't any smarter. They are just trained to study hard from an early age. I kept up with them in college, but they had been studying hard since high school. I had to bust my bottom to stay up because I was immature in high school, but I did it. I've forgotten much of it now, but I did get through Calculus 3, Differential Equations, Statics, Dynamics, Physics, Chemistry, Quantum Physics, and my major related classes. I even tutored my oldest through Physics, Calculus 1, and after that I just double checked his Algebra for mistakes in Calculus 2 and 3. I do field services for several Japanese and Korean companies. If Americans were that slow, they would provide technicians before hiring Americans. We still get a better education and that's why they send their students here for college. (Probably the same down under)

Asian culture encourages studying long and hard from an early age. The white kids and hispanic kids are encouraged to study, but they are encouraged to be in team sports and there is some merit in that.

Immigrant hispanic kids start learning behind everyone else. They must learn our language before they can study hard. Often their parents never bother to learn English and they use their kids as interpreters. These kids don't get much help from their parents.

More Black kids come from broken homes. Parenting is lacking in general. (There are exceptions as always.) Black kids are more likely to see sports as their only option for advancement. They dominate professional sports because that's what they were raised to do. To some blacks, studying hard is yielding to non-black culture and shunned. (idiots)

These are all generalizations and I can name personal exceptions for all of them.

""These are all generalizations and I can name personal exceptions for all of them.""

I have generally found them to be more academic than practical,,,

If you're that thick you wouldn't be at University to begin with unless you choose gender studies or something equally as mundane ...

Thats why they put a monkey on their earth orbiter, they knew a chink wasn't going to be able to land it back on earth,,,
