Does race mixing increase physical attractiveness?
Does race mixing increase the likelihood of physical attractiveness? Armand Marie Leroi, a developmental biologist at Imperial College, London, seems to think so, and as proof he offers the example of the “world’s most beautiful woman”: Saira Mohan, whose mother is French/Irish and father is Hindoo.
Figure 1: Saira Mohan on the cover of Newsweek, Nov. 10, 2003 (article here).
What logic does Leroi use to arrive at his curious assertion? Leroi asserts, correctly, that fewer deleterious mutations--that are associated with gene expression--should correspond to greater physical attractiveness. Leroi also notes, correctly, that deleterious mutations are typically recessive, i.e., will manifest in structure/function if one gets the same copy from both parents but not if one has only one copy. Leroi then argues that since recessive deleterious mutations vary by race, race-mixing should decrease the likelihood of obtaining identical copies of deleterious mutations from both parents, which should correspond to greater physical attractiveness in the mixed-race offspring.
Great logic, isn’t it? One hardly need mention that such logic is well-received by the likes of Razib of GNXP. Let us address this logic.
To start with, a gorilla with no deleterious mutations would be roughly as ugly--to the typical human--as a gorilla with dozens of deleterious mutations, i.e., there is obviously much more to beauty than the prevalence of deleterious mutations. Clearly, various physical traits have to be within certain bounds to be considered attractive. Indeed, it has been shown that beautiful faces--within a race--tend to have multiple anatomical traits close to the center of the trait distributions in their race. [1-3] As a side note, the most beautiful faces tend to somewhat deviate from the center of some trait distributions, but this does not concern us at present.
Is there any significance to having multiple average anatomical traits? Yes, there is. Compared to individuals with multiple outlier anatomical traits, individuals with multiple average anatomical traits appear better equipped to canalize development well--i.e., channel development along the right developmental pathways--and to buffer against developmental perturbations. [4, 5] This should be intuitive: there is a correlation structure to genetic information--that varies by species and race--and there is bound to be a restricted range of the genetic-correlation-structure matrix that corresponds to optimal functioning.
The centers of the trait distributions of facial features--as well as several other anatomical traits--vary by race. If two individuals of different races--both having multiple average traits within their respective races--were to breed, the offspring would not have multiple average traits of either parental race. How well-functioning will this individual be with respect to canalization of development and developmental stability compared to his parents? This question in best answered at a statistical level since some offspring resulting from same-race matings manifest poor canalization of development and evidence of not having effectively dealt with developmental perturbations, whereas many mixed-race individuals are healthy. As I will address in detail in a future post, the overall health of major mixed-race populations such as South Asians, South American Latinos, and African-Americans is worse than that of major populations with little other-population admixture such as Northwestern Europeans and Northeastern Asians.
On the other hand, since recessive deleterious mutations are typically rare, the potential adverse health consequences of notably altering race-specific genetic correlation structures outweigh the possible race-mixing benefits related to decreasing the likelihood of obtaining identical copies of recessive deleterious mutations from parents belonging to different races.
Leroi and Razib need to understand that in so far as physical attractiveness related to a genetic constitution associated with better canalization of development and developmental stability is concerned, mixed-race individuals are expected to be, on average, worse off than individuals with little other-race genetic admixture. Razib may mention hybrid vigor (offspring better than parents, overall, on average) and ignore the possibility of what appears to be more likely--which I will elaborate on in the future: outbreeding depression (offspring worse than parents, overall, on average).
The attractiveness of mixed-race individuals should be compared with that of their parents using non-arbitrary standards. This is very difficult in several cases. For instance, if the parental races are very different looking, and the mixed-race offspring look in between, then the exacting beauty standards that apply to the race of one parent could not be applied to the race of the other parent, and both exacting beauty standards could not be applied to the offspring. On the other hand, in cases of race mixing where one parent is white and the other a black African or Chinese, the offspring overwhelmingly look like the non-white parent, and their beauty is best compared to that of their non-white parent.
It is commonly observed that African-Americans generally hold the looks of notably “whitified” persons such as Halle Berry or Vanessa Williams in higher regard than the looks of the black Africans from West Africa from whom they are descended. Similarly, some Asians undergo corrective surgery to straighten their eyelids (blepharoplasty), reduce the size of their cheekbones (malarplasty), make their nose more projecting (rhinoplasty), etc. On the other hand, whites who undergo cosmetic facial surgery never try to acquire the facial features of black Africans or flat-faced Asians; rather, they attempt to acquire classic Northern European facial traits. Therefore, from the perspective of whites--and undoubtedly some non-whites, too--white/non-white mixtures are less attractive than the white parent, on average, but more attractive than the non-white parent, on average.
Armand Marie Leroi uses an example of a white/Hindoo mix, where the Hindoo comes from Northwestern India, a region known to harbor many people with the major facial features of Europeans (Figure 2).
Figure 2: The parents of Saira Mohan: French/Irish mother and Hindoo father.
As can be seen in Figure 3, if one ignores skin color, Saira Mohan’s facial features are well-within the variation seen in Europe. Therefore, given that Leroi calls Mohan the “world’s most beautiful woman,” her facial features should be judged by European [high] standards.
In the images shown below, please ignore pigmentation. Firstly, it is clear that Saira Mohan is not very feminine looking (Figure 3): note masculine glabellar (forehead) projection, low-set eyebrows, projecting [beyond feminine norm] nose, and general overall masculinization.
Figure 3: The face of supermodel Saira Mohan, a woman that is not very feminine looking.
Saira Mohan’s nostrils (Figure 4) clearly deviate from the classic European type (Figure 5).
Figure 4: Saira Mohan’s nostrils are more typical of non-Europeans.
Figure 5: The aesthetic range of nostril shapes in white women.
Note that Saira Mohan’s cheekbones are more robust than that of beautiful white women, on average (see Figures 4 and 5). A beautiful white woman would be expected to have fine nasal bones that are flattened on the sides, which Saira Mohan does not possess (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Compare the robust nasal bone structure of Saira Mohan with the fine nose typically seen in beautiful white women.
Finally, compare Saira Mohan to the beautiful white women shown below (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Some beautiful white women.
In summary, since European beauty standards--with respect to facial anatomy but not pigmentation--can be applied to the facial features of Saira Mohan, it is very clear that there are many white women far more beautiful than her. Armand Marie Leroi is talking patent nonsense by calling her a great beauty. Leroi is not taking the specifics of anatomy into account, something that is central to beauty. Indeed, who in his rational mind would believe that the beauty of white women--such as depicted in Figure 7--could be increased via the absorption of non-whites among whites? It would be difficult to obtain a fine-featured Caucasoid if any of the white women shown in Figures 5 and 7 bred with a Hindoo. On the other hand, the aesthetic consequences of breeding with flat-faced Asians or black Africans requires no comment.

I only treat you the guys the way you treated me in the past
Whatever slights you have suffered (real or imagined), the point I made earlier stands. If you insult the bloggers on this blog, we will first begin by deleting your posts and then we will ban you.
Free speech is not licence to do as you please.
Phil Peterson: Arcane does resort to name-calling, but he is also an intelligent opponent, and in the spirit of free speech and also the desirability of decent critiques, which I hope he provides, just ignore his name-calling and please do not ban him. We don?t want to end up like GNXP by banning those capable of providing decent critiques.
We are committed to free speech but within the bounds of civility.
Posted by Phil Peterson on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 11:05 AM | #
Can I clarify the rule regarding civility. If mere swearing was the yardstick we would likely all be at read-only sites. We all swear, don’t we?
But there is a point at which ad hominem is motivated by an attempt to shut-down or delegitimise opposing arguments or to demonise the opposition. A free speech blog, which we are, can support loose language but not if it masks an attempt at censorship. I include disruption as a form of censorship.
Now it happens that we have banned very, very few commenters. The last one - and the only one I personally have banned - was a Linderian-type who, clearly, was intent on disruption. He went after one comment.
Most importantly, we don’t interpret free speech to mean “free while it is in agreement”, which is the GNXP position.

Arcane:
Yes, there are plenty of Jews with blonde hair, but thats a nordic phenotype. Like I said, Paltrow is 100% phenotypically wasp, hardly a typical bantu-wasp mulatto.
Regarding Jews, like I said, even if they were European their actions merit the severest penalties available under the law.
GNXP has gone down the crapper, frankly Godless was 75% of the reasoning for going, the rest of the crowd are a supporting cast, rather borderline reads (no offense Arcane, you’re ok). Also, the A-grade white commentators have left after Mr. Capitalist’s anti-white crusade. Left are the second tier minds e.g. David “genes are somewhat of a mystical nature” B.

One such who departed was the first-rate woman blogger they had there a short while, “Duende,” who was a college undergrad at the time (a couple of years ago, which was when I stopped reading that anti-Eurowhite site) and brilliant unless I’m mistaken about her. Anyone know if she’s still blogging anywhere?
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 03:05 PM | #
I’ve tried to trace her, Fred, following your last commendation. The only record I can find of an e-mail address is a dead-end. There is no female Duende blogging elsewhere that I have been able to trace. She seems to have given it up.
Posted by Guessedworker on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 03:11 PM | #
Arcane, can’t any of your pals over at www.AntiEurowhite.com give us a hint as to “Duende’s” current whereabouts?
(Oh, excuse me, Arc—that URL was supposed to be Subcontinentals&Orientals4WhiteEuroRaceReplacement.com ... I’m so embarrassed for that typo I made, I could just crawl into a hole and disappear!—Once I’ll have had my second cup of coffee I’ll be less distracted ... Sorry again! .... my sincere apologies to all the phenotypes you are the extension of, Arc .... Errr.... scratch that! Scratch that last bit I typed! That was another typo—make that, “My sincere apologies to all your friends over there” ....) (Hey I guess I’d better stop until I’ve had that second cup of coffee ...)

Kate Beckinsale is at least 1/8th Burmese. She said 1/4 in an interview. Apparently she was teased for her “Chinese” eyes in childhood.
Posted by ed on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 04:00 PM | #
ed, I don’t know anything about Kate—not even sure I’ve ever heard of her before, and have no idea what she looks like—but nowadays with government and Hollywood and everyone pressuring white folk, and brainwashing them from the tenderest age, to believe it’s more politically correct, not to mention more cool, to be non-white than white—or, lacking total nonwhiteness, to be at least partly nonwhite—all claims by whites who are trying to make it big in the extremely-PC U.S. or U.K. entertainment worlds that they are partly nonwhite must be taken with, shall we say, a very big grain of sodium chloride until those claims can be substantiated.

Look, I don’t like banning people, and I’ve banned a few. Mostly Nazis and far-left-wing megalomaniacs. If you guys could stay on topic, we wouldn’t have to ban people.
That’s a lie. I was banned, more than once, for RESPONDING to idiocy from anti-WNs at GNXP; they’d make some absurd observation and pretend it was a categorical criticism of WNism (much as you are wont to make), I’d respond that it was absurd, and eventually that got on GNXPers nerves and I was banned for it.
Hehehe, one of the “rules” at GNXP is something along the lines of “no particularism,” so wtf is it that you’re on about?
Even if they were wholly English, they would still have to be treated as a gang of conmen and murderous free-riders.
If you want to spew crap like that, why not go over to VNN or National Vanguard?
I feel the need to return to that superficially harsh comment. The US currently accepts ~600,000 immigrants a year, perhaps 500,000 of them non-white. Assuming the white % of the population is 65%, they displace 350,000 whites. How many murders were there in the US last year? 50,000? The perpetrators of our mass immigration policy murders 7X as many whites as all the other murderers in the US combined.

Sorry about the imprecisions and mathematical errors in the previous post, but the idea is clear. Any comments Arcane? Your foreign masters at GNXP want to accelerate this murder spree.

What is the surgical solution for excess fat in the upper eyelid or droopy upper eyelids for Asians? All one has to do is to remove the excess fat and trim the skin layer. Besides, if the upper eyelid is not puffed up and the skin is not droopy, then there should not be a problem with applying make-up on the upper eyelid. One does not have to create a crease/skin fold to solve the problem of puffy/droopy upper eyelids and attendant make-up issues. Do you really expect Asians to admit that there is something ugly about a natural racial condition that they have and that they are trying to look white by correcting their eyelids?
Your ludicrous non sequitor concerning homosexuals aside, allow me to quote the actual description of the blepharoplasty procedure:
The double eyelid surgery consists of cutting away “extraneous” fat, then stitching the thinned eyelid skin to the levator muscle. Once healed, the attached eyelid forms a crease, dividing the eyelid in two.
So yes, that’s exactly what they’re doing--cutting away the extraneous fat and skin. The reason the extra lid froms is because when the eyelid skin heals, it forms an eyelid crease. How else would you perform the procedure that *wouldn’t* result in a second crease? And concerning your point about makeup, it’s not just the excess fat but the “almond” Asian eye shape that makes it difficult to apply all that female frippery--I’ve noticed that eyeliner, shading, etc. gives my female Asian friends considerably more trouble than my white female friends. So you still haven’t convinced me that looking white is the *sole* reason Asians get this surgery. Do some of them go through with this surgery to look white? Probably. Can the same be said of all or even most of them, as you attest? I have yet to be convinced.
The point about African-American preferences is obvious. If you live in the U.S., you would have observed the range of African-American phenotypes, and would have noted that the women in hip-hop videos and models in miscellaneous magazines catering to African-Americans are, on average, less black African-looking than the population norm. Black supermodel Alek Wek has traditional black African facial features, but women with her facial features are not held in high aesthetic regard in the African-American community.
Personal observations are great and all, but I’m looking for hard, empirical data. Where are you getting this? Any peer-reviewed journals of sociology or African-American cultures? C’mon, don’t be a miser. Share the intellectual wealth you so undoubtably have at your disposal!

Figure 7 shows beautiful white women, not the most beautiful white women, all of whom are clearly more attractive with respect to facial anatomy compared to Saira Mohan, which neither of you seems to dispute.
Sorry about that, I’ll dispute that point right now. In Figure 7, the bottom two women are okay-looking, IMO, but the top two...damn, I’m glad you’re right when you say there are more beautiful white women out there. Ms. Mohan is still more appealing than any of them.
Julia Roberts, Monica Bellucci (just see her without make-up), and Angelica Bridges are less attractive than the women in Figure 7; Jenna Jameson has low-class looks; more refined looks and I could have used her.
BS. I’d take Roberts, Jameson, Bellucci, and Bridges over any of the chicks in fig. 7 any day. And the bitter, bitter irony is, your friends and co-bloggers (all of whom are also white) would seem to agree with me. Edgar doesn’t like your choices much more than I do, and Phil Peterson seems to be quite the Monica fan--apparently he hasn’t seen her without makeup. Is Arcane white? He’s from GNXP, so he might be one of those “extended phenotypes” JW’s always talking about.
Look, man, I’m not trying to disparage your preferences--as tillman pointed out earlier, “De gustibus non disputandum est.” However, you’re apparently trying to prove that people, in general, share your conceptions of what’s “masculine”, “feminine,” and “appealing,” and if your own MR buddies don’t agree with you, you’re failing pretty miserably.

Well, Ephraim, those girls aren’t *all* ugly...the ones in figure 4 are okay, although I have to ask where Richards happened to find them. They look like they’re having sex, honestly. Maybe that’s why I like them better

Murder spree? Even if whites became a minority in the U.S. (not a concern to me in and of itself, though large numbers of poor Hispanics could definately become a problem to say the least), it would be nothing tantamount to murder. So the U.S. hits its carrying capacity sooner. Big deal. I like open spaces, and certainly don’t want them (or anywhere else) replaced by third world slums, but even several hundred thousand immigrants per year is not going to have a big impact, especially if they have sane birth rates.

Phil,
Half your attacks on me here are based on things you imagine I said. There must something about us here that has got under your skin? What is it?
Almost everything you’ve said about my comments in other threads were based on imaginings about things that I’ve supposedly said. You would take my comments and then start saying things about them entirely unrelated to the comments at hand, and then start asking questions entirely unrelated to the thread itself.
If there’s anyone here imagining stuff, it’s YOU. An example is this:
So how does this prove that race-mixing produces the best looking women?
See, I never said anything even related to that, and have never said that race-mixing produces the best looking women. Yet, you automatically assumed it.
Fred, you said:
One such who departed was the first-rate woman blogger they had there a short while, “Duende,” who was a college undergrad at the time (a couple of years ago, which was when I stopped reading that anti-Eurowhite site) and brilliant unless I’m mistaken about her.
Duende is still a blogger at GNXP, but she never writes anything, that’s all. I figure she did the same thing I’m doing, which is blog while in college and then stop once she has better things to do after graduation.
Svigor, Frank, you said:
That’s a lie. I was banned, more than once, for RESPONDING to idiocy from anti-WNs at GNXP; they’d make some absurd observation and pretend it was a categorical criticism of WNism (much as you are wont to make), I’d respond that it was absurd, and eventually that got on GNXPers nerves and I was banned for it.
Hehehe, one of the “rules” at GNXP is something along the lines of “no particularism,” so wtf is it that you’re on about?
Again, GNXP is not a place to debate WNism and Jews; there are plenty of places to do that. We banned Abiola Lapite, too, so don’t give me this crap that we only ban WNists. And it’s not a “rule,” but a principle… “Ethnic pride” is a “Don’t,” no matter what your ethnicity is.
And as for the idea that I cannot make a valid criticism of WNism, the fact of the matter is that no matter what my criticism is of it, you will reject it wholesale because you’re a WNist. To you, there is no such thing as a critique of WNism, because it is uncritiquible in your mind.

I think people would *tend* to prefer those of their own race, but what any individual prefers is a matter of taste. I think East Asian women are by far the most attractive--the white women (esp. the Finnish one) here (scroll down for the white women) for example are pretty hot, but there’s at least a half dozen East Asian women in my bio lecture I’d take over any of them.
Posted by bb on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 08:19 PM | #
Holy Moly, I’m having too much fun for my own good. Hey Phil, let’s take a look at this gem…
But we don’t believe in banning anyone as I hope you have understood by now.
No offense, but you’re full of it, Peterson. Remember Natvan? I’ll give you a refresher:
Let’s look at our good buddy Natvan’s post…
you should know that several Jews are a type of White people and that the Jews that are overrepresented in the top science and technology schools are usually White.
Speak for yourself, Richardberg.
I also reject the offensive, disjunctive hyper-nationalism of the German National Socialists who ignored, for example, the rights and interests of their Slavic neighbors to the East.
Yeah. I’m SURE it’s the Slavs who you were concerned about. Speak for yourself, Hollowitz.
That’s why he has a problem with Jared Taylor. Taylor is exactly the sort of intelligent, articulate white guy that GC wishes would embrace high-IQ Asian immigrants. But a look at AR confirms that, for Taylor, South Asians like GC are “them” and not “us”.
Yeah, but Jews are considered white by Taylor, right? Which is why you’re A-OK with him, right Hollowitz? This would be hilarious if it weren’t so brazen. Two more operators or shabbos goys making moves straight from the Horowitzim playbook. Mike Levin would be proud!
Listen up people: Jews are the reason for white dispossession. J-E-W-S. Asians are a sidelight. Blacks and Mexicans are an annoyance. They are all symptoms, and the Ashkenazim are the disease. The borders would never have been opened without the Jews. The Civil Rights act would never have been passed without the Jews. White women would not have been turned against white men without the Jews. Europe and its kindred would never have been brought to their knees by guilt-tripping over the Holoco$t without the Jews. Russia would never have been subject to murder and destruction without the Jews.
No Jews = No NAACP, no lies about hate crimes, no Jacoby/Kristol/Chomsky/Zinn/Lewontin/Gould/Friedan/Steinem/Sontag/Schwartz/Goldberg/Marx/Freud to pathologize whites, manliness, America, self defense, etcetera etcetera. No Nuthin.
Cue Hollowitz and Richardberg insisting that Jews are white, and that Hitler was all bad, and German nationalism was “offensive”, and no matter WHAT we do, racial balkanization shouldn’t be RELIGIOUS balkanization, oh no sirree. It wasn’t like Hitler was reacting to Jewish communists in his country promising to do the same thing they did to Russia! Nah...couldn’t be...they’re white you know. Jared Taylor and Hollowitz and Richardberg told me so.
All hat and no cattle, these folk...or should I say all yarmulke and no cattle. Hollow out nationalism before it even starts. Oh sure, at first it’s just subtle remarks about the “offensive” German nationalism and the “well spoken” judeophilic Jared Taylor. But just wait till the hammer drops and the purge starts. Like National Review this will become yet another Israeli outpost. Get fitted for tefillin boys!
Honestly, there’s no much there that Svigor, Stuka, Effra, or Beck would disagree with. Where NatVan erred, however, was that he *dared* to attack one of MR’s bloggers! And that super-genius J Richards, no less! Ah, the horror! So what was good ol’ guessedworker’s pithy response?
Natvan,
Goodbye
Of course, the hero of our story, J. Richards, tried to convince guessedworker not to ban natvan:
I am glad that unlike razib of GNXP, you did not simply erase the rant by NatVan, thus showing your stronger commitment to freedom of speech. I would recommend that you not ban NatVan but flag such absurd posts in the future with the disclaimer that the outrageous comments expressed do not reflect the views of any on the bloggers at majorityrights, but are left there by the moderators in the spirit of freedom of speech. I don’t think that you need be much concerned about NatVan spamming the comments section frequently because NatVan will post at most a few more rants and will go back to posting at Stormfront or equivalent.
Unfortunately for Natvan, guessedworker wasn’t convinced:
Posted by Random Lurker on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 08:21 PM | #
Continued from above:
I did IP-ban him. The reason was two-fold.
First, when a commenter has exhibited, let us say, untoward emotion I have til now reckoned on being able to appeal to some understanding of the way one behaves in another’s house. There’s nothing special about this. It’s just how ordinary, decent people behave. In Natvan this decency was not immediately apparent, nor any redemptive qualities for that matter. I could foresee only a long, pointless and unedifying argument if I attempted to engage him.
Second, it’s not as if his subject matter is never aired here. The MR threads are enlivened by a small number of broadly nationalist commenters who are intelligent and articulate but also decent people. They seek to persuade on the basis of factual debate, not abusiveness. This is a better way for newcomers to the JQ to encounter the nationalist side of the argument. It is a tender plant, however, and needs to be protected against the ruder elements.
So what does all this mean, Peterson? Well, apparently, your site *does* believe in banning. Really, can’t you understand why some people might be mystified concerning your statement that MR doesn’t believe in banning?

seelow, you said:
BTW, whatever happened to arcane’s promised dissection of Kevin Nacdonald’s Judaism trilogy.
It’s a work in progress… I’m still collecting articles and research, and I still have to purchase two of his books. I’ve also been incredibly busy with school (as seen by the fact that I haven’t written any long GNXP posts lately like my ones in the past) and will probably not have the time to thoroughly work on it until either this fall or early winter.
Looks like it might just be a book-length project, since MacDonald’s books are not just about Judaism, but cover a whole myriad of subjects.
Posted by Arcane on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 08:26 PM | #
Arcane,
Its mystifying that while you keep hurling insults at various people, accuse people of sympathising with Hitler and Stalin and a whole range of other allegations from the absurd to the totally cartoonish and while we naturally retaliate against the attacks you make (such as what you said ealier on this thread that you were going to “defile” our site by putting up pictures of Jewish women, for example. Its typical of the pattern of behaviour you have shown here. That behaviour is based on bad faith.) which upsets you, it still doesnt hold you back from coming back for more.
If you find this blog so unfriendly and hostile and the bloggers uncivil towards you, then don’t come here and show some self respect instead of throwing tantrums like a teenager. Its a bit much for you (coming from a blog that randomly bans people left right and centre) to come here and lecture us about what we need to learn from you and your colleagues.
So you say whatever you want to say. But one thing which is clear to all of us is that your participation in almost all threads is usually defined by accusatory, disruptive and destructive tactics. That is clear to us all. Every one of us who has been arguing with you since you started posting your comments here has undertsood that much.
Posted by Phil Peterson on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 08:44 PM | #
Right, and the reason you haven’t banned Arcane is because you “don’t believe in banning.” Natvan sure agrees

Ephraim in typical juvenile glee stated:
<i>Your ludicrous non sequitor concerning homosexuals aside, allow me to quote the actual description of the blepharoplasty procedure: ---- And concerning your point about makeup, it’s not just the excess fat but the “almond” Asian eye shape that makes it difficult to apply all that female frippery--I’ve noticed that eyeliner, shading, etc. gives my female Asian friends considerably more trouble than my white female friends.

I refer Ephraim to this site…
http://www.drmeronk.com/asian-eyelid.html
Where the good Doctor states plainly…
Men and women of Asian heritage seek blepharoplasty eyelid surgery for the same basic reason as their Occidental counterparts, namely, to enhance the appearance of the existing eyelid structure so that it conforms to widely-accepted standards of aesthetics and balance. Not only is blepharoplasty the most requested cosmetic operation in the Asian population, but the typical age at which Asian patients request eyelid surgery is younger.
The sample photos of this site in particular clearly shows a “rounding” of the eyes that us “roundeyes” seem to take for granted. Let me repeat, Asians have the surgery for conformity to widely-accepted standards of aesthetics and balance, i.e WHITES. Also you go on and finish this post with...Personal observations are great and all, but I’m looking for hard, empirical data.
All well and good, however one needs to follow one’s advice and not pin his entire argument on what he observes with a few Asian chicks he knows.
Next enlightening post from Ephraim states:
BS. I’d take Roberts, Jameson, Bellucci, and Bridges over any of the chicks in fig. 7 any day. And the bitter, bitter irony is, your friends and co-bloggers (all of whom are also white) would seem to agree with me.
Great, take them. However that was NOT the point of the log entry, was it if you actually digested it for a few seconds before spouting off one hyperventilatory inanity after another? He was stating the universal concepts of White beauty and comparing it to mixed women and NOT individual preferences that you enjoy whacking off to. Get it?
Then finally, Ephraim states:
Look, man, I’m not trying to disparage your preferences
That’s exactly what you were doing and failing to realize that was not the point of the log, though that didn’t stop you from acting completely puerile and taking off on your own tangent.

And then “Random Lurker” who cannot grasp the difference between two sites, where one has banned ONE person due to their completely inflammatory post with no redeeming qualities or room for discussion and another where simply the mention of Whites with a capital W is enough for banning. LOL

Actually, it’s nice to see the GnXp crowd is so riled up that they feel the need to find fault with the site. No one gives a sh*t about people who are clueless, stupid, or do not pose any serious threat. Do they???

Murder spree? Even if whites became a minority in the U.S. (not a concern to me in and of itself, though large numbers of poor Hispanics could definately become a problem to say the least), it would be nothing tantamount to murder.
If you prefer “sterilization”, we will use that term. However, the indisputable ultimate result is that every non-white imported into a white country (assuming, unrealistically, equal resource consumption) precludes the existence of a white. There is only so much of this world to go around, and it is tempting to say it is a zero-sum game. But it is not. The size of the “pie” can be expanded to some degree, at least temporarily, through technological advance. The diminution of the white proportion of the world’s population, of course, slows the growth of the pie, and ultimately the “pie” will shrink.

Really, can’t you understand why some people might be mystified concerning your statement that MR doesn’t believe in banning?
I do not speak for the management of this site, but it should be easy for you to perceive that, in practice, this aversion to banning means that viewpoints are not banned, only uncivil commenters may be, in extreme cases.
I infer that some latitude for uncivil outbursts is granted for those who have made civil contributions to discussion in the past.
It is not very complicated.

Phil, you said:
Its mystifying that while you keep hurling insults at various people, accuse people of sympathising with Hitler…
Well, a lot of your commenters do sympathize with Hitler, as do some of your bloggers (such as Tomislav Sunic, who has given speeches to the openly national socialist NON in Italy, NPD in Germany, and National Alliance in the US, and has praised the Waffen-SS in many of his articles; however, now that he is doing diplomatic work again, he has removed himself from all mailing lists of those organizations).
...and Stalin…
Well, I did that as something of a joke, but oh well.
If you find this blog so unfriendly and hostile and the bloggers uncivil towards you, then don’t come here and show some self respect instead of throwing tantrums like a teenager.
I wish you would apply that same logic to GNXP, since you guys attack it left and right… quite frankly, I sort of like this blog, because you do hit some things that others don’t hit, and publish opinions that others won’t publish. Besides, you guys have a GNXP blogger among you: Thrasymachus.
Its a bit much for you (coming from a blog that randomly bans people left right and centre)…
Well, I don’t know about everyone else, but every person that I’ve banned I’ve shot an e-mail at telling them why I banned them and offered to unban them.
But one thing which is clear to all of us is that your participation in almost all threads is usually defined by accusatory, disruptive and destructive tactics.
Not true. In case you’ve forgotten, look at the very earliest threads on this blog. I praised you guys. If my friends weren’t attacked merely because of their skin color and national origin by you guys, I doubt any of this would have ever happened. Razib originally even linked this blog up on GNXP, in case you’ve forgotten.
Every one of us who has been arguing with you since you started posting your comments here has undertsood that much.
Again, read what I read above. I seem to remember the first time I was attacked it was by Geoff, who attacked with a slew of feces-laced analogies, including “excrement spreader,” “excrement smearer,” who has his “hands full of excrement” (which he continued by saying that JJ Ray has it “on his face") because I criticized Kevin MacDonald. Before then, I had not made a single nasty comment about you guys. I did not begin this.

I’m currently selling that on Amazon for cheaper than anyone else on the net, in case any of you guys are interested.

He was banned for being a denier of Communist Holocaust and accusing GNXP bloggers of being deniers of the Jewish Holocaust.

Kubilai, I admit you have a point--I did grow overly heated, and for that, I apologize. As Sybach pointed out, not all the white women J. Richards posted are unattractive, and personally speaking, I don’t find white women in general unattractive. I suppose I came off that way, and I apologize.
The sample photos of this site in particular clearly shows a “rounding” of the eyes that us “roundeyes” seem to take for granted. Let me repeat, Asians have the surgery for conformity to widely-accepted standards of aesthetics and balance, i.e WHITES. Also you go on and finish this post with...Personal observations are great and all, but I’m looking for hard, empirical data.
All well and good, however one needs to follow one’s advice and not pin his entire argument on what he observes with a few Asian chicks he knows.
As I mentioned above, my complaint wasn’t that *no* Asian women got this surgery to look more white--I distinctly said that a few women might opt for this procedure to look more white. What I was protesting was Mr. Richard’s failure to acknowledge other possible reasons for it, which were attested to in the article he himself provided.
Great, take them. However that was NOT the point of the log entry, was it if you actually digested it for a few seconds before spouting off one hyperventilatory inanity after another? He was stating the universal concepts of White beauty and comparing it to mixed women and NOT individual preferences that you enjoy whacking off to. Get it?
This is simply vulgar. If I was “uncivil” in my previous post, I ought to apologize for encouraging that sort of behavior in you.
In this case, you do not adequately defend Mr. Richards. As I pointed out above, I am not the only person to question Mr. Richard’s aesthetic preferences. As Edgar has pointed out, his arguments would be greatly buttressed if he used pictures of women *all* whites would consider attractive, which he didn’t. Whatever the merits of his post, they would have come across with much greater force had he taken into note not only my considerations, but also those of edgar, and also Phil Peterson.
That’s exactly what you were doing and failing to realize that was not the point of the log, though that didn’t stop you from acting completely puerile and taking off on your own tangent.
You’re right, I apologize, and I must thank both you and Sybach for pointing out that I was overly critical of the poor girls whom J Richards chose as examples. It was certainly most ungentlemanly of me. I and Mr. Peterson may find Ms. Bellucci attractive, evidently Mr. Richards finds the girls in his figures more to his liking. As the Roman saying goes, there is no disputing tastes.

You really are a genius! There are a few “Lurkers” on MR, none of whom are me, obviously--just compare our posts. Neither site allows anonymous posting, so yeah, finding a few other “lurkers” doesn’t prove anything. Still, believe what you want. You think I’m from GNXP, good for you, champ.

You have a pretty funny view of “uncivil” behavior, chief. Was natvan a prick? Yeah, I’ll agree with you there. But how “uncivil” was he? Not only did he say stuff most of you agree with, he said it without resorting to swearing or references to masturbation, which can’t be said of our good buddy Kubilai. If your MR buddies have a certain “latitude” for “uncivil” behavior, they’ve stretched it pretty damn far.

“Is Arcane white? He’s from GNXP, so he might be one of those ‘extended phenotypes’ JW’s always talking about.” (—Ephraim)
White? He never said. As for “extended phenotype,” well, he sure as hell behaves like one. Exactly like one. Hey if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and waddles like a duck, it’s probably a duck, right? So ... I’d say he’s an extended phenotype, all right. Same as you, Ephraim—that’s exactly what you seem to be, an extended phenotype. Hey you’re starting to catch on. Good.
“Even if whites became a minority in the U.S. (not a concern to me in and of itself, [...]” (—bb)
Not of any concern to you? Well you DON’T SAY! Gee, WHOEVER WUDDA GUESSED? (Talk about stating the obvious ....) So, what else is new, Birch? ... Anything else to surprise us with? (I mean, as if, had you held any other views, you’d have been invited to blog at Hindu&OrientalAntiWhiteCentral.com ... Like the whole thing comes as a big surprise to us ...) “several hundred thousand immigrants per year is not going to have a big impact [just make sure it’s Hindus and Chinese, not Negroes or Mexicans]” (I repeated that here, just to make sure the phenotypes you devote your life to saw it and will know you’ve been seeing to your job description, bb. They’ll congratulate you later—hey maybe they’ll even let you blog again (that is, once they’ve decided you’d cleaned their boots enough with your tongue ...)! Wouldn’t that be great!)
“And it’s not a ‘rule,’ but a principle… ‘Ethnic pride’ is a ‘Don’t,’ no matter what your ethnicity is.” (—Arcane)
Maybe the place has changed since a couple years ago when I stopped going there, Arc, but back then it was awash in Subcontinental and yellow ethnic pride, absolutely bursting with it, which was perfectly fine with me, but when I once opened my mouth to respond in kind to an obnoxious yellow named “AsianDude” who’d attacked U.S. whites in a nasty way I was instantly banned and the entire exchange erased, amidst a torrent of the sickest, most psychotic babblings spewing from the Godless Capitalist’s maw, in such a way that I realized for the first time what the name of the game was with him (he identifies extremely strongly with non-whites against whites in this whole anti-white thing going on nowadays) and of course never again sullied my foot by setting it there in that anti-white cesspool. I’ll note that I never received anything but gentlemanly treatment from Razib or Jason Molloy (neither of whom has any objection to white race-replacement, by the way).
“the white women (esp. the Finnish one) here (scroll down for the white women) for example are pretty hot, but there’s at least a half dozen East Asian women in my bio lecture I’d take over any of them.” (—Birch)
Yeah, too bad none of the half-dozen would take you, Birch ... But dream on, by all means ....

Nope. I don’t have the same fixation with Jews he does. Whatever charges you levy against me, you can’t claim I ever called you “Scroobyberg”
And calling me a crybaby, honestly, I’m just pointing out the hypocracy that seems prevalent in this site, Fred. Candidly speaking, you impressed me when you apologized for your behavior--you’re a bigger man than I thought. If the other bloggers ‘round here could show the same spine and admit that yes, there have been many occaisons when they’ve proven themselves to be just as “uncivil” as their detractors, I wouldn’t be hanging around.

Again, GNXP is not a place to debate WNism and Jews; there are plenty of places to do that. We banned Abiola Lapite, too, so don’t give me this crap that we only ban WNists. And it’s not a “rule,” but a principle… “Ethnic pride” is a “Don’t,” no matter what your ethnicity is.
Did I say you only ban WNists? Your love of strawmen continues.
I know that GNXP is not a place to debate WNism and Jews. It’s a place for people to make unchallenged criticisms of WNism, WNs and their opinions on Jews, where those who disagree are banned. As I said, I seldom brought these subjects up, I simply responded when they were. So, anti-WN trolls are encouraged and WNs are banned for responding. The cherry on top is that GNXP masquerades as a site dedicated to scientific and objective inquiry.
And as for the idea that I cannot make a valid criticism of WNism, the fact of the matter is that no matter what my criticism is of it, you will reject it wholesale because you’re a WNist.
Wrestle with that strawman Arcane, wrestle with it heroically!
When did I say you cannot make a valid criticism of WNism?
You are incorrect. I do not reject criticism of WNism per se, I simply object to criticism of certain forms of WNism or certain trends among its adherents that masquerade as categorical criticisms of WNism.
If critics of WNism would present their criticisms more honestly, I’d respond differently.
For example, many critics of WNism are fond of accusing WNists of being would-be mass murderers. There is a grain of truth here, as a small minority of WNs do advocate race-war. The critics seldom admit this, they just tar all WNs and WNism per se with that brush.
You’ve given example in this thread - you conflated the WNish posters here with the left half of the bell curve at Stormfront who refuse to acknowledge or understand that the real division between Jews and Whites (not whites) is not blood or genes but tribe.
To you, there is no such thing as a critique of WNism, because it is uncritiquible in your mind.
That’s nonsense. The fact that you have not (if memory serves) successfully critiqued WNism does not lead to the conclusion that WNism is “uncritiquible” in my mind. The fact that I criticize flavors of WNism that I do not agree with belies your assertion.
I am quite open-minded about a great many issues underpinning WNism. For example, I realize the possibility that IQ has nothing to do with race, that the heritability of IQ does not prove that it varies by race. I think the evidence points the other way, but I do not present the matter as definitively settled.
My agnosticism on THE Holocaust (not that it in any way underpins my WNism) is open to vigorous debate and I readily admit that THE Holocaust epic might’ve occurred mostly or even overwhelmingly as told by the orthodox historians.
Wasn’t it in this thread that I admitted that my aesthetic preference for my own race was the only issue not up for debate?
There is plenty wrong with the totality of those who call themselves WNs, but this is quite distinct from WNism itself. If a WN promotes literal race war or genocide I feel he is indeed espousing a brand of WNism that is very open to attack. I don’t promote those things (nor do most WNs), and I feel that attacking me and my WNism based on that other WN’s beliefs isn’t fair. Perhaps if I tacitly approved of his behavior by ignoring it I’d open myself to attack, but I do not: I often roundly and openly criticize my fellow WNs when I feel they’re out of line.
Your rhetorical habit of branding people Nazis when they display no real sign of National Socialist leanings is an indication that you are somewhat less than honest on this issue.
You’ve admitted freely that you’re a philo-Semite and that this colors your discussions of Jews.
Out of curiousity, I ask if you troll Zionist and Neocon Websites and challenge their beliefs. Do you troll Black Nationalist sites and debate BNs?
Your behavior, and the policies standing at sites you contribute to, are testaments to the fact that you are uninterested in an honest critique of WNism, at least certain forms of it. You’re just fine with arguing against the far left side of the WNist bell curve, it’s the right side you like to avoid.
Same as you, Ephraim—that’s exactly what you seem to be, an extended phenotype. Hey you’re starting to catch on. Good.
I don’t go to GNXP either. Neither does Sybach, if you’re wondering--he’s a friend of mine.
And as for me being an “extended phenotype?” I actually DON’T support turning America into a dark-skinned nation. I just don’t think non-white women are as “unfeminine” as J. Richards does. If he believes so, that’s his business, and it was uncivil of me to contest that. His tastes do not seem to be as widely held as he makes them out to be, however.

As I said, it takes a pretty big man to admit that, Fred. Unfortunately, many of your comrades don’t seem to have taken that step. For some reason, Phil neglected to mention natvan’s banning when he said MR “doesn’t believe in banning.” For some reason, everyone jumps on Arcane’s behavior while ignoring even worse behavior on the part of their fellows, such as Kubilai’s lewd suggestion. As I said, if the other denizens of MR were able to apologize as openly as you were, I likely wouldn’t be here, or if I were, I’d be much more civil. Unfortunately, that has yet to be the case.

Sheesh! It’s gettin’ pretty hot in here...well, it goes against my better judgement to just pop in here when such a heated argument is goin’ on, but I just have to ask J Richards a question:
As you can probably tell from my s/n, I love Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance, and I visit the site quite a bit. I’m just curious, but Mr. Richards strikes me as *very* familar. You wouldn’t happen to have posted as “Cassiodorus” over at http://www.amren.com, would you? You remind me so much of Cassiodorus

Svigor, Frank, you said:
That’s nonsense. The fact that you have not (if memory serves) successfully critiqued WNism does not lead to the conclusion that WNism is “uncritiquible” in my mind.
That’s because in your mind it’s uncritiquible! You made my point for me.
If a WN promotes literal race war or genocide I feel he is indeed espousing a brand of WNism that is very open to attack.
I’d much rather have an e-mail debate over this instead of hijacking this thread, but since you’re so keen on this… what WNists promote race war or genocide? The entire national socialist wing does, and there’s a lot of NSs in the WNist movement. I don’t worry about Jared Taylor… I worry about people like William Pierce. I have never alleged that all WNists espouse race war or genocide; what I have alleged is that the majority do, and based on the comments of many commentators here and ones we’ve banned at GNXP, I’m right when I say this.
I don’t promote those things ... and I feel that attacking me and my WNism based on that other WN’s beliefs isn’t fair.
OK, maybe it is unfair. But it doesn’t help when you link to websites run by those who sympathize with Hitler or are openly national socialist, like TBR News and American Free Press (both of which were created by Willis Carto), National Journal, National Vanguard, National Alliance, Creativity World Wide (otherwise known as WCOTC), David Duke, Kevin Strom, Chuck Pearson, White Revolution, Stormfront, etc.
You delegitimize yourself when you do this.
Your rhetorical habit of branding people Nazis when they display no real sign of National Socialist leanings is an indication that you are somewhat less than honest on this issue.
Based on the sites listed above, who is being dishonest?
Out of curiousity, I ask if you troll Zionist and Neocon Websites and challenge their beliefs. Do you troll Black Nationalist sites and debate BNs?
Yes, I do, actually. I disagree with neocons all the time.

If you aren’t the same, and it is a possibility though somewhat remote, then so what? Am I to assume there are two creative geniuses with the “Random Lurker” id? Regardless, your point was picking the ONE person banned, in a quite unique situation, as some confirmation that people get banned here, which is hardly the case. Is that your contribution?
Posted by Kubilai on Monday, May 30, 2005 at 11:09 PM | #
That’s because in your mind it’s uncritiquible! You made my point for me.
No, you’ve just restated your opinion, I haven’t made your point for you.
I don’t worry about Jared Taylor
Of course you don’t, Taylor avoids discussing your chosen people like the plague.
I have never alleged that all WNists espouse race war or genocide; what I have alleged is that the majority do, and based on the comments of many commentators here and ones we’ve banned at GNXP, I’m right when I say this.
I don’t know from your samples of banned GNXPers, since I’m not privy to them, but I find your assertion that many here do puzzling; who are you talking about? Further, could you explain how the comments of many commentators here or at GNXP support your assertion that the majority of WNs favor literal race war? Do you have any more support for this sweeping assertion?
OK, maybe it is unfair. But it doesn’t help when you link to websites run by those who sympathize with Hitler or are openly national socialist, like TBR News and American Free Press (both of which were created by Willis Carto), National Journal, National Vanguard, National Alliance, Creativity World Wide (otherwise known as WCOTC), David Duke, Kevin Strom, Chuck Pearson, White Revolution, Stormfront, etc.
You delegitimize yourself when you do this.
Hatewatch links (or did) to these sites too, does that delegitimize Hatewatch? You see my point of course, that linking does not constitute endorsement per se; linking usually constitutes...linking.
I don’t know anything about TBR News, and I don’t know that I’ve ever linked to American Free Press, and I’m pretty damn sure I’ve never sourced the first thing through them. I don’t read National Vanguard or source them, I don’t know what the National Journal is, I could care less about the creativity movement or whatever it’s called these days, I don’t see what the big deal about David Duke is (he doesn’t advocate genocide or race war as far as I know), I do like reading Chuck Pearson as I find his writing very funny (he was offline the last few times I checked), White Revolution isn’t on my radar at all, and Stormfront is a Web board devoted to discussion of WNism (the views expressed there are by no means monolithic or generally genocidalist - racial epithets are grounds for banning there for Chrissakes!).
I don’t think you’ve honestly assessed WN opinion, if you really think the general tenor of Stormfront is genocidalist. It’s hard to say for sure, since calls for genocide can get posters banned, but in my experience people in favor of genocide at SF are roughly as common as people who think Jews are White and can do essentially no wrong collectively (no I’m not exaggerating here).
I read GNXP far more than I read any National Alliance material. I read Amren occasionally. I read MR daily. I read Stormfront daily and post there frequently (and have more than a few problems with moderators there, who don’t like my criticisms of other WNs). Everything else is occasional (I like antiwar.com and the war nerd and Google news and such).
Not only did he say stuff most of you agree with, he said it without resorting to swearing or references to masturbation, which can’t be said of our good buddy Kubilai. - Random Lurker again
The point GW was making in banning him is that he came and spewed garbage in typical Neo-Nazi fashion. NONE of us here are Neo-Nazis, you dinkus. When we speak of “stuff” here, we make sure that it is either referenced or verifiable. Just because a Neo-Nazi hates Jews for no apparent reason aside from that is what he is supposed to do, does not mean he has anything in common with people here.
As to masturbation, LOL, don’t worry, you won’t grow hair on your palms. Sorry to have offended your virgin eyes, “Random Lurker”.

Is that so? I don’t hang around GNXP, so I wouldn’t know, and neither would I care. So yes, the most logical assumption would be that I share the same pseudonym as this GNXP person (assuming you didn’t just make him up) by coincidence. If you don’t believe that, well, good for you.

Just because a Neo-Nazi hates Jews for no apparent reason aside from that is what he is supposed to do, does not mean he has anything in common with people here.
Natvan, a Neo-Nazi? He reminds me more of Svigor or Stuka than anyone else. The “garbage” he spewed was mainly stuff quite a few people would agree with. The only reason he was banned was that he happened to pick a fight with one of MR’s bloggers. If Peterson’s assertion that “we don’t believe in banning” was true, he’d still be hanging around.

For me, there is nothing to apologize to you about. Your pitbull latching of Phil does not deserve any apology from my part because it was uncalled for and the banning was an isolated event. GET IT??
“Pitbull latching of Phil?” You’d think he’d be man enough to accept it when someone points out where he’s wrong. Fred Scrooby was able to do it, why not him?
And heck, if you want to apologize to somebody, apologize to Ephraim. Rude as he was, you were the one who brought up the subject of his “whacking off.”

Svigor, Frank, you said:
Of course you don’t, Taylor avoids discussing your chosen people like the plague.
That’s because Taylor doesn’t advocate genocide like the Aryan Nations, White Revolution, National Alliance, National Vanguard, Creativity Movement, White Aryan Resistance, Posse Comitatus, Aryan Republican Army, New Order, or any of the other Christian Identity, Odinist, and KKK organizations out there.
I don’t know anything about TBR News, and I don’t know that I’ve ever linked to American Free Press, and I’m pretty damn sure I’ve never sourced the first thing through them. I don’t read National Vanguard or source them, I don’t know what the National Journal is, I could care less about the creativity movement or whatever it’s called these days, I don’t see what the big deal about David Duke is (he doesn’t advocate genocide or race war as far as I know), I do like reading Chuck Pearson as I find his writing very funny (he was offline the last few times I checked), White Revolution isn’t on my radar at all, and Stormfront is a Web board devoted to discussion of WNism (the views expressed there are by no means monolithic or generally genocidalist - racial epithets are grounds for banning there for Chrissakes!).
Wow, Snow you’re out and out lying… this is your site, is it not?
http://svyatoslav.50megs.com/
This is the WN sites page from your site, is it not?
http://svyatoslav.50megs.com/SITES.HTML
in my experience people in favor of genocide at SF are roughly as common as people who think Jews are White…
Pretty common then!
That’s not what I asked you; I asked if you regularly go to Zionist or Neocon SITES (i.e., message boards) and criticize them and theirs?YES! I’ve criticized them on numerous occasions on GNXP, too!

I have never alleged that all WNists espouse race war or genocide; what I have alleged is that the majority do....
But the question this raises is, why do you care? Why do you make this a priority?
There is a genocide in progress, and the victim is *our* genus! The fact that you are a WASP should settle the question. But ignore what should be a bias toward the preservation of your own kind. How—objectively—can a genocide that is in progress and is certain to run to completion if present trends are not reversed be deemed a less pressing concern than a genocide that exists only in your speculations?

You are being a bit dense here, Random Lurker. You allege that some people here agree with or are sympathetic to the statements made by Natvan (and I will be the first to say that the truth content of his comments is in fact greater than zero). If your allegation is true, you should understand that this is an exacerbating not a mitigating factor. How uncivil must one be to treat an allegedly sympathetic audience in that manner?

Comparatively, natvan was “civil.” Others on MR have used invective far worse than his. Had he directed it towards anybody besides J. Richards or another blogger, I find it hard to believe he’d have been banned. Thus, why Peterson’s claim that MR “doesn’t believe in banning” holds little water.

Random Lurker,
Aside from your aversion of anything remotely sexual in nature, which has the markings of some quirky phobia, the “point” you are trying to make is sophistry at its finest. Please tell me what is it about the concept of an ISOLATED, UNIQUE CASE that you do not understand? Let’s start there, shall we? For example, the interstate highway speed limit is 65 MPH for arguments sake. If you pass a trooper going 68 MPH or even 70 MPH and he does not stop you to give you a ticket, do you automatically conclude that troopers DO NOT give tickets to speeders or would you thank your lucky stars and think it was an ISOLATED CASE? Here’s another one, you order from Burger King a Whopper and the attendant forgets to take your money though still gives you the Whopper. Will you conclude from this that Whoppers are free or would you use some shred of logic and think it to be an ISOLATED CASE? One more for good measure since you seem to be a bit of a slow learner. This one is a bit more tricky so pay attention. You buy a coat from Walmart that comes with a $25 dollar rebate that you have to mail in with the stipulation that you have to send in the receipt. You do not mail in the receipt for the rebate because you lost it trying to get a ridiculous point across on MR, and return the coat the following day. The clerk gives you your money back and a week later you get a $25 check for the rebate. Do you conclude that in order to get a rebate you must return the coat? Do you conclude that you need to lose a receipt in order to get a rebate and money back when returning an item from Walmart? Do you thank your dumb luck because getting a rebate and your money back from Walmart without a receipt is an, you know what’s coming don’t you? An ISOLATED CASE!
Was that really so hard??

You know, this would be funny if it weren’t your true opinion…
Lets not forget that there are more European people on this planet now than there have ever been before and just because current birthrates are in a state of decline does not mean that a “genocide” is taking place. If there is a “genocide” taking place of white people, then it’s simply because white people are choosing not to have more than 2 children.
I don’t see how the fact that white people are voluntarily choosing to have less children justifies the forceful and coercive exterminationist ideas advocated by many of the groups I listed above.
Remember, genocide is “the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.” There is no “systematic and planned extermination” of white people taking place (except in maybe Zimbabwe, which isn’t Europe… I’m focusing on Europe), but there is a “systematic and planned extermination” being planned by those groups listed above.
There is no comparison between the forceful genocides of the past with voluntarily declining birthrates now.

“genocide is ‘the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.’ There is no ‘systematic and planned extermination’ of white people taking place” (—Arcane)
Sorry, Arc, but there is: race-replacement immigration is a deliberate attempt to eliminate the traditional races in the nations in which it’s being forced on popuations against their wills. The way we know it’s deliberate is the cause-and-effect is obvious, so no one in a position to pull political strings can be unaware of the consequences of the policies. Knowing what the consequences of a policy are yet still doing it means you’re deliberately trying to bring those consequences about, otherwise you’d stop. Remember one of James Burnham’s axioms: “Who says A must say B.” Jews weren’t reduced to zero by the Nazis, just reduced. Gas chambers and death from communicable diseases in camps (Ann Frank died of typhoid fever, not in a gas chamber) are one way to accomplish the “reduction” of a targeted race. Forced race-replacement is another. It qualifies as genocide, my friend. And it’s deliberate.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on that. I don’t see immigration replacing whites anytime soon (like, within the next 100 years), especially in Europe. What I do see is declining birthrates, and I think those are of a much greater concern, along with multiculturalist propaganda, than immigration (which is a concern, just not the greatest).
In the US, immigration is the problem that I am most concerned about.
Posted by Arcane on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 at 04:17 AM | #
“I don’t see immigration replacing whites anytime soon (like, within the next 100 years), especially in Europe.”
First, reducing native whites in a place like, let’s say, Holland from one hundred percent of the population to a minority amounts, for all practical purposes, to replacing them. That reduction is being forced on them right now as we speak, against the wishes of the majority there who are kept from protesting too loudly, or organizing opposition politically, by things like hate-speech laws.
Second, did the fact that Hitler couldn’t catch U.S. Jews and put them in concentration camps disqualify what he did to the ones he could catch as genocide? Whites replaced anywhere is genocide, regardless of whether it’s in Europe or elsewhere.
“What I do see is declining birthrates, and I think those are of a much greater concern, along with multiculturalist propaganda, than immigration”
I completely agree that the collapse of white birth rates around the West is an extremely grave situation in terms of making race-replacement of whites by non-whites vastly harder to prevent. There are many forces, political and economic among others, that just want warm bodies and don’t give two damns what race they are, and these forces are powerful and will exert their power to fill a country up that’s not filling itself up. Part of the approach to the problem of race-replacement is going to have to be a multi-faceted reform aimed at getting government off the backs of young couples so as to relieve its, government’s, downward pressure on white birth rates. The biggest cause of low white birth rates is downward governmental pressure on those rates in dozens of ways, ranging from discouraging marriage to ruining neighborhoods in ways that make them far less family-friendly to ruining school quality to policies that make home prices skyrocket to very baby-unfriendly tax policies, and so on.
“In the US, immigration is the problem that I am most concerned about.”
Me too. You’re a good man, then. Welcome aboard—we need all the help we can get in turning this thing around.

The same govt that promotes mass immigration is the one that ignores declining birthrates. In reality they are both trivial to reverse; it’s not difficult to set the parameters of society so that those whom desire to have families are selected over those whom do not.

I find the gal on the cover of the Goebbelsian propaganda mag Newsweek about as attractive as a malnourished potted plant with yellow leaves.
The intangable construct of ‘beauty’ is a subjective impression, dependant on one’s personal criteria.
Hence, from perusing the aforementioned propaganda, collective ‘man’ is an obtuse idiot who knows nothing at all, but loves to pretend he does; wishing to force a particular worldview down the lemminglike masses’ throats.
Enough said, I find the present state of this planet revolting, and those who are fostering it will get exactly what they deserve in the end.

Generally, the US does not have the same problem with birthrates that the Europeans do. The two areas with declining birth rates in the US are New England and the northwest… basically the blue states. The red states are reproducing way above replacement levels.

Ephraim,
Both regular upper eyelid surgery and Asian eyelid surgery involve excision of excess fat and skin; the excesses of these structures being what make it difficult to apply make-up. All one needs to do is to get rid of the excess; one doesnt have to create a crease/fold. Why dont you understand that the creation of the crease/fold is for aesthetic reasons? By now, you should have read what Kubilai has posted in this regard, a few comments below your comment. Besides, the analogy involving homosexuals is not a non-sequitur; it is a similar example of not admitting to the true reasons out of embarrassment. Once again, not all aspects of the upper eyelid surgery are related to looking whiter, but specifically the creation of the crease/fold in the upper eyelid.
Speaking of the aesthetic preferences of African-Americans, there is a huge amount of evidence out there--in terms of hip-hop videos and the models used in magazines catering to the African-American community--that supports my contention, which in turn is something I believe many in the U.S. would be familiar with. Anyway, I do not know of any systematic study concerning facial-feature preferences among African-Americans that has been published in peer-reviewed journals, but there are some studies on skin color preference among African-Americans, and they show a general preference for lighter-skinned African-Americans:
Bond, S., & Cash, T.F. (1992). Black beauty: Skin color and body images among African-American college women. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 22 (11), 874-888.
Hall, R.E. (1992). Bias among African American regarding skin color: Implications for social work practice. Research on Social Work Practice, 2 (4), 479-486.
Lighter-skinned African-Americans also have somewhat less African facial features than their darker counterparts, on average. Besides, you should know that Halle Berry is considered one of the most beautiful African-American women in the U.S. on the part of the African-American community; she not only has a white mother, but she has also surgically corrected her nose to make it look less African.
Your comment concerning the greater appeal of Saira Mohan to you compared to the top two women in Figure 7 reflects a failure to understand the central point of my post. My post is not about my preferences. I couldn’t care less if you disparage my alleged preferences. People vary in their aesthetic preferences, and it would be remarkable if everyone found the women in Figure 7 more appealing than Saira Mohan. However, there are objective aesthetic criteria that apply to Europeans, and using such criteria--while ignoring pigmentation--it is clear than Saira Mohan is not as attractive as the women in Figure 7, irrespective of which of these women anyone prefers the most.
Speaking of my buddies/co-bloggers, the only people that have not liked the white women that I have featured are you, Edgar, Chris W, Sybach, Ben Tillman, Arcane, and onetwothree, none of whom blog at MR or are known to me personally. Phil Peterson has expressed his appreciation of Monica Belluci, without disapproving of the pictures in Figure 7. Besides, in all three cases of the pictures posted in the comments section, namely that of Natalie Portman, Jessica Biel, and Monica Belluci, their hair is concealing their facial breath; see them with their hair drawn back, especially in three-quarters and profile view, and they wont look as attractive, and you should try to get pictures of them without make-up.
Posted by J Richards on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 at 09:35 AM | #
Ephraim,
Nowhere in my post do I imply that people do or should share my own views of what is appealing; once again, there are objective, exacting within-race criteria concerning aesthetic judgment, which need not be held by every same-race individual, but which will be held by the majority of same-race individuals. I have known of some whites who have a strong sexual preference for some very specific types of non-whites but little sexual preference for whites, and then there are men who prefer obese women, and you also have homosexuals, pedophiles, those into bestiality, and people with a variety of other unusual sexual interests. Every same-race individual cannot be expected to have the same exact aesthetic preferences; there is natural variation, and then sometimes things go wrong. It is for this reason that one needs to consider the central tendency of race-specific aesthetic preferences to understand what is normal, and judge same-race individuals using these race-specific criteria. In the case of Saira Mohan, I am applying European standards to her facial features--but not skin color--because her facial features are well-within the variation seen in Europe, and I need to consider whether race mixing has made her very attractive by European standards. In a nutshell, it is not possible for me to judge the attractiveness of the women that I have featured by taking into consideration the preferences of all whites, let alone all humans. Besides, I doubt that you are white, and even if you are, it is unlikely that you are Northern European.
On the other hand, as to what is masculine or feminine with respect to facial anatomy, it is well known how sex hormones sculpt facial features and it is a matter of objective analysis as to how masculine- or feminine-looking someone is, not a subjective judgment. Consider the following reference to learn more about the effects of sex hormones on facial features:
Antonio Rosas, Markus Bastir. Thin-plate spline analysis of allometry and sexual dimorphism in the human craniofacial complex. American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Volume 117, Issue 3, Date: March 2002, Pages: 236-245.
You have also noted, I just dont think non-white women are as unfeminine as J. Richards does. Where did I say that non-white women in general are not very feminine? This post specifically focuses on one non-white woman, who is unambiguously not very feminine looking.
Random Lurker,
For the record, NatVan was not banned for attacking an MR blogger, but he was banned by Guessedworker because Guessedworker wants the Jewish Question to be discussed at MR, and with absurd comments such as that of NatVan, it would not be possible to have a reasonable discussion in this regard. The latter is something that you have copied and pasted; so, you should be aware of it. Besides, I was not an MR blogger back then; I started blogging at MR roughly a month after the thread that you refer to was posted.

JR,
Thanks for bringing up the JQ issue. Early on here we were under regular thread-attack from a widely-known and very intelligent WNist. His presumption was that we were a just another bunch of paleos unwilling to incorporate Jewish culpability for the State of Everything into our public views.
In fairness, he was no NatVan. His arguments were well-presented and documented, and he never tipped over into ad hominem. But he was locked into the presumption that, particularly, John, Geoff and myself must be exposed for the dangerous ignorance of our Conservative leanings. Meanwhile, damage was certainly being done to the blog’s reputation among folks uncomfortable with the continuing emphasis on such matters.
So what to do? Well, certainly not ban him. I tried to argue that an extreme concentration on the JQ was counter-productive. It drove away the very people whom he wanted to benefit with his views and, thereby, kept knowledge of Organised Jewry’s workings walled up in the WN ghetto.
This, I have to say, still did not halt his frontal attack on MR. Then one day, in an e-mail exchange between us, the meaning of free speech in the blogging context finally hit him. It was one of those forehead-slapping moments. There’s no need to force anyone to eat intellectual senapods! The merit of the idea is the thing. He wrote, “In competition WN ideas will always come out on top.”
If they are good and true that is certainly so. We live in times, for that very reason, when Free Speech is being weakened throughout the West. The furthering of majority rights requires the furthering of Free Speech, and that’s all we are trying to do.

“The same govt that promotes mass immigration is the one that ignores declining birthrates. In reality they are both trivial to reverse; it’s not difficult to set the parameters of society so that those whom desire to have families are selected over those whom do not.” (—Tournament)
This is one-hundred-percent right and very well put, Tournament. You’re got a very big piece of the picture exactly right.
“The two areas with declining birth rates in the US are New England and the northwest… basically the blue states. The red states are reproducing way above replacement levels.” (—Arcane)
One is tempted to reply that this fact gives us all sorts of instruction as to what factors must be ameliorated in order to allow birth rates to rise to natural levels rather than permitting a situation in which government continues to push them forcefully down and bring in non-whites to make up the difference (in actual practice, to way more than make up the difference—the race-replacers are in a hurry, you know, and they are taking no chances: they are determined to get this job done). But replying that way would give the false impression that the behind-the-scenes forces pushing white race-replacement didn’t already know exactly what they were doing. They already know precisely what the factors are pushing birthrates down and they damn well intend keeping those factors in place. What this fact does, then, is simply verify what we’ve known all along. No one needs this fact to “teach” them anything: none of this is a surprise to either side of the issue. It merely officially gives the lie to one side. One can be absolutely certain that a highly partisan demographer like Ben Wattenberg who wants to see whites made a minority in this country knows exactly what those governmental factors are which forcefully push white birthrates down. He doesn’t need facts like the ones in question to show him. He just wants low white birth rates, that’s all. We could speculate as to why.

I don’t see how the fact that white people are voluntarily choosing to have less children justifies the forceful and coercive exterminationist ideas advocated by many of the groups I listed above.
I thank Fred for making, quite well, one of the points I would have made: that it is the immigration imposed on white populations that is the primary immediate instrument of genocide, and that that genocide is deliberate, as one is presumed to intend the foreseeable consequences of one’s actions.
I will focus on your contention that the reduction in birth rate is wholly voluntary. I must disagree. It is complex, but a large part of the problem is what we see, for instance, in the green crab when it is parasitized by the sacculina carcini barnacle—or in many other instances of parasitism. Because a host’s reproduction provides no benefits to a parasite, a parasite that is able to modify its host’s behavior or physiology will benefit from causing the host to redirect to the parasite (or its allies) the resources that would have gone into reproduction. Though the proximate mechanisms are much different within human populations, the reduction in birth rate is largely due to increased taxation that benefits the parasitic elements, the increased costs associated with forced integration, et cetera. Each child costs considerably more than it would cost in a healthy autonomous community, yet each family’s resources are less than they would otherwise be. Lower birthrates are the result.

Hate to say it (because I disagree so much with his views on the importance of whiteness and WASPness), but I think Ben Tillman has a point in his 1:58 PM post. Having children is quite costly for the middle and upper-middle class who are taxed to hell to pay for the underclass’ children. Essentially the underclass is subsidized, causing them to have more children than they otherwise would, while the upper middle class is taxed, causing them to have fewer children. It’s basic economics--subsidize something and you get more of it, tax something and you get less.

That’s a point I make often, but it is a more direct route to my conclusion (though it is valuable to look at things from a biological perspective as well).
Non-whites are subsidized; whites are taxed. Ergo, more non-whites; fewer whites.

“Non-whites are subsidized; whites are taxed. Ergo, more non-whites; fewer whites.” (—Ben)
This is the race-replacement angle on this process which, predictably, Birch completely missed, taking the process as race-neutral in his note of 3:06, which it isn’t and isn’t meant to be by those in control. So, that whole point was lost on you, Birch, but do stick around and keep trying as hard as you can—maybe at some unknown future moment you’ll actually get it right.
As for “the underclass,” Birch, that’s analogous to, let’s say, your two legs: are you going to cut them off and have a surgeon graft a pair of Chinese legs on you in their place? No. They’re your legs; they’re part of you; you and they go together. So’s the white underclass: part of your race; your race and it go together. Class-and-IQ snobs like the Hindu brahmins and overseas Chinese you pal around with at GnXp are that way because they have no nation—the Brahmins in India have only their class and disdain all else in their country, and the Overseas Chinese like Jason Soon have only their diaspora race and disdain the members of the nation-state in which they find themselves. You, on the other hand, are a white man. You have an entire nation you are attached to, something they know strictly nothing about. And that nation consists partly of a traditional race and of the actual physical land that traditional race lives on, and that traditional race is made up of parts, all of which exchange genes with each other to a significant extent and have done for a thousand and more years. Take away one of those parts and the whole entity changes: it’s not as if you can take away one of those parts—“the underclass,” for example—and have the “overclass” stay the same. You want to live among different kinds of people? Then relocate to a different country. Don’t try to change my country or my nation-state please. I don’t want it changed.

Off the topic of the log entry but on the topic of Julia Roberts, mentioned numerous times in the thread, and also kind of funny (OK, I admit—also for a bit of comic relief in what’s been a somewhat tense thread):
For a photo of herself to post on her web-site a Canadian political pundit and her web-site designer took a pic of her face exclusive of hair, neck, and body—just her face—made it the right size, and attached it to a photo of Julia Roberts’ hair, neck, and body sitting in a lounge chair, pretending it was all her.

All one needs to do is to get rid of the excess; one doesnt have to create a crease/fold. Why dont you understand that the creation of the crease/fold is for aesthetic reasons?

I am not a surgeon, and I don’t know if you or Ephraim are, so I won’t comment on the technical aspects of blepharoplasty. However, I do have a question about the demographics of this procedure. The articles you provide seem to center around Asian women. Are there many Asian men who get this surgery done?
I also can’t help but wonder whether culture more than “aesthetic preferences” plays a part in this phenomenon. At this point in time, America in particular, and European countries in general, are the strongest states economically, politically, and culturally. It is unsurprising that many Asian women choose to “look more white,” since at this point in time, whites are still the dominant race (so to speak). Rummaging through MR’s archives, however, you can see that dominance beginning to ebb (although there are myriad posts I could cite, look for anything about the U.S economy, demographic shifts, and the Iraq War to see my point). In conjunction with this, the star of China seems to be rising (Again, your co-bloggers have written many posts about this subject as well). I am not sure whether a procedure to remove the non-Asian eyelid crease exists, but should Asian countries like China replace the U.S as the dominant superpower, it would be fascinating to see if white women began demanding such a procedure. Of course, that’s merely a hypothesis.
One more point. Sir, you claim that Asian women get this eyelid crease in order to “look more white.” It is obvious, however, that it is not only whites who posess this eyelid crease--blacks, Latinos, “Hindoos,” and Arabs are a few examples I can think of at the top of my head. An article you yourself provided would buttress that assertion, as http://www.lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=1618&IssueNum=87 points out, The eyelid fold is a dominant genetic trait found in nearly all non-Asians. If the eyelid crease is found in non-Asian races in general, not just whites, on what basis do you say that Asians get this surgery to look more white?

Fred, you said:
...replying that way would give the false impression that the behind-the-scenes forces pushing white race-replacement didn’t already know exactly what they were doing. They already know precisely what the factors are pushing birthrates down and they damn well intend keeping those factors in place.
“Behind-the-scenes forces” who know “exactly what they’re doing?” What behind-the-scenes forces?
Hmmm, you mention Ben Wattenberg, who has constantly warned about the declining birthrates in Europe, although he is supportive of US immigration… typical neocon… lets see what Ben says about these “forces...”
Ben said:
I will focus on your contention that the reduction in birth rate is wholly voluntary. I must disagree. It is complex, but a large part of the problem is what we see, for instance, in the green crab when it is parasitized by the sacculina carcini barnacle—or in many other instances of parasitism. Because a host’s reproduction provides no benefits to a parasite, a parasite that is able to modify its host’s behavior or physiology will benefit from causing the host to redirect to the parasite (or its allies) the resources that would have gone into reproduction. Though the proximate mechanisms are much different within human populations, the reduction in birth rate is largely due to increased taxation that benefits the parasitic elements, the increased costs associated with forced integration, et cetera. Each child costs considerably more than it would cost in a healthy autonomous community, yet each family’s resources are less than they would otherwise be. Lower birthrates are the result.
Ah, so we have our “behind-the-scenes forces” described as “parasites” now… I’m sort of laughing right now, which I shouldn’t be because you guys are serious…

Portman is one of those “parasites,” right? LMAO

For the record, NatVan was not banned for attacking an MR blogger, but he was banned by Guessedworker because Guessedworker wants the Jewish Question to be discussed at MR, and with absurd comments such as that of NatVan, it would not be possible to have a reasonable discussion in this regard.
I agree; I’m about as wild-eyed an anti-Semite as MR wants around here. What was one to think of NatVan when his first post was one like that? How does one deal rationally with a person who “accuses” everyone he disagrees with of being Heimy-this or that-Stein?
As much of a pain in the ass as it is, the JQ is an extremely delicate issue since the overwhelming majority of whites wear the rosiest-tinted shades possible to view Jewry.
