Thread: 'hierarchy situations of who looks down on who'

Slightly different question to Scampy's OP (so maybe a different thread) but a question I have pondered a few times.

What is the Asian league table of who looks down on who?

I estimate it as:-

Japan
Singapore/Hong Kong
Korea
Taiwan
China
Malaysia
Thailand
Indonesia/Vietnam/Burma/Philippines/Cambodia/Laos/North Korea

I think a more accurate statement would be all Asians look down on everyone. Status among Asians and everyone else in the world is rated by total power and money.

India?

I think this is a fair asessment, from what i can see, most asian countries dont think any other country exist outside their own.

OK, you win. Americans first......

In some ways, it is a touching comment on humanity, and underscores our common origins. We all, regardless of race, creed, colour or religion look down on everyone else who is not of our race, creed colour or religion....

yes, Tsico, there is

but it is a well known fact that the hate that racists feel has been engendered by the basic fear of someone being different from yourself

Racism is learnt from fear of the unknown - Times Online

big butch racists like yourself need to hide that fear, so it is masked by hatred

That's not really true. All this stuff about "racism" and "hate crime" is left wing Big Lie propaganda. The density of logical fallacies per paragraph of the average lefty tirade is quite consistent... even the good Dr did it without thinking... "It's a well known fact" = the fallacy of "every schoolboy knows"...

Every schoolboy doesn't know that there's no such thing as racism; there's no such thing as race. Partly because the left-wing establishment in the UK doesn't want them to know or to think critically and challenge this mantra.

What there is, is ethnicities, and ethnocentrism, and group-based behaviour evolved to increase inclusive fitness by associating in groups and acting in groups for the benefit of the group and in doing so for the self.

Competition for resources is what it's fundamentally about: it's as much to do with love as it is with hate... you love your own family, so you want to provide for them; you don't hate people who try to usurp your resources initially, but the human mind has to dehumanise automatically to be able to compete successfully to control the resources at stake; this cult of trying to convince people that to do so is somehow "morally wrong" creates a major and fundamental cognitive dissonance, because it's in direct conflict with the morally right behaviour of putting the interests of your own group first... the result is chronic and profound unhappiness, as we see in the West.

Fear does not come into it, the concept at hand is survival, and it's an innate behaviour in the most ancient parts of the brain, because it's exhibited by all living organisms in some form or another. It's impossible to "unlearn" to be ethnocentric.

This left wing trope of suggesting it's to do with emotions... "fear", "hatred" etc... is typical of a mentality that fosters "playing the man, never the ball", in debates, where the lefty objective is to move away from reason and to "kill the messenger".

Interesting that you use a Murdoch paper as a reference, I wouldn't wipe my arse with it.


You could just well say that the hate felt by left-wingers to BNP-supporters and fellow travellers is based on fear of people different from themselves... i.e. with a different world view, that they are unwilling to engage with, but happy to condemn.
Yet according to polls, about half the country shares this general perspective, despite the country being run by a clique supported by about 20% of the electorate.

Middle class southern qunts.

They all look down on each other. The Japanese think they are the master Race. The Thais know they are for certain, especially after declaring war on America and having never been defeated.

The ranking of other Asian countries varies but I think just about everyone sees Pakistanis as the lowest, for some incomprehensible reason.

Dunno, think the Pakistanis look down on the Bangladeshis...

possibly true given that Burma isn't even seen

I find that pretty funny

I don't think nations generally admit to 'looking up' to neighbouring nations in Asia or anywhere even if they privately know what the regional pecking order is. I mean Kiwis don't admit to looking up to Australians either. Generally the more bitterly one nation speaks of a neighbour the more inferior they feel under the skin. I was more meaning what is the league table of respectability from an objective viewpoint if say you had to take an Asian girlfriend back to Farangland and show her off.

....interesting comment....why would you take any woman anywhere...
..."to show her off"....

now i know they have Dog Shows, Yearling Sales and even Fashion Parades for the ladies....

but isn't that the genesis of the condition....dissatisfaction, affirmation, confusion and finally fear....

this world is a malicious fraud.....clear you mind and look....really look...
at what you see....without the labels....

you will be pleasantly surprised.....once the false value system drops away..

case and point....look closely at the little children....

they have none of these problems....

until we teach them...as we were taught....

Showing your GF off, whether it is to strangers in a restaurant or friends back home, is not the main reason for having a GF but it is part of the experience. Unless your GF is a full on minger?

Think most western expats in Asia view themselves as being at the top.

Monkeys below.

As for the bottom, the Rohingyas seem to have got a pretty rough deal.
