Politically incorrect thought of the day: East Asians are good at academic tests because we were bred for them.

You sure it isn't the disappointed parent thing?
Parental guilt tripping is an excellent means of producing the desired end, yes.
How long would it take to undo what was bred into someone? π€
1 generation of a new culture?
There's plenty of lazy third+ generation Asian-Americans. The quality of parental upbringing is vitally important to success in life.
Note: I'm a 5th generation American. The cultural pressure can survive a very long time. I intend to similarly punish my kids, for their own sake.
There's about 30 generations of breeding for a specific outcome, so it's hard to see it going away in a single generation. Maybe 5 to 10? Depends on cultural context and what's prioritized instead.
Time to keep the desired outcome...π
I meant to write "encourage".
my kid is mostly asian and boy does he get his homework done quick but only after mentioning no video game privileges until hwk complete.
My politically incorrect thought: America might be improved if we changed nothing about the criminal justice system except added caning as a possible punishment.
Opinions?
Not afraid of prison but afraid of getting caned in public π§π

are you all trolling on purpose? π€£π€£π€£π€£
i said βmajorβ & mentioned βAsianβ bc iβm extra critical of my fellow Asians. weβre kinda blunt in that way, sometimes, i guess, maybe. π«‘π
Please zap me I think I set it correctly
How do you find these kind of posts π
just noticed #[3] explicitly asked for opinionsβ¦ ππππ iβm tired. EXHAUSTEDβ thereβs so much to sayβΌοΈ but i cannot rn. π«Ά
USA is unfathomably corrupt and SUPER evil w the criminal justice system. millions incarcerated for nothing. millions upon millions of lives & families destroyed. did you know we have privately owned prisons for those owners to make obscene profits of all this too? it goes on and on & extends to the βjusticeβ system that aids & abets the real evil criminality with the whole criminal justice ecosystem.
ππππ omg. π« π«‘
Exactly. The American justice system is obscenely expensive, cruel, corrupt, and not very effective at reforming people to prevent recidivism.
e.g. California's largest employer is the prison system. Ridiculously wasteful and expensive.
Other countries have far more effective rehabilitation and education programs in prisons. For example Japan has mandatory military-like drills and education for inmates to learn discipline and life skills so they have a better chance after they are released.
I'm not a scholar on this topic so I don't have a specific formula. I just know our current system is horribly broken.
yes, totally that none of it is about reforming or crime deterrence. itβs pure cruelty & brutality. obscene for sure.
Iβve heard worse ideas in principle, but thatβs a loaded one here lol
Some have argued for something like this. They say public punishment is a better example than the private way our current system employs so others can "learn from their mistakes".
Or be afraid more like it.

Canning works well, for Singapore
I 100% appreciate the hesitancy in the replies, but there is wisdom here.
Which is more humane: imprisoning men and boys for long periods of time for minor offenses in cages where itβs common knowledge that they will likely be raped, subject to gang violence that will harden them and increase the likelihood of staying in a life of crime, etc or being publicly caned a short but meaningful number of times?
Itβs certainly more dignified and would set a right many of utterly perverse incentives in the prison industrial complex.
This doesnβt even mention that the current system forces taxpayers to bear the ever increasing brunt of the care of those who have already borne the cost of their lawlessness.
Such a system can only exist in a fiat fueled world.
Not if you think the problem is over-policing of poor communities and criminalization of everyday life with more laws than one could read in a lifetime.
I always assumed you were Mexican. Maybe itβs the hat..
Liberals hate realityβ€οΈβοΈ
My speculation: only in America (or maybe other western countries), there's such a thing as East Asians who are bad at math or can not do mental math.
It's a cultural thing and a learning-style thing other than a generic thing.
