Nigerians Listed In Writer Amy Chau's 8 Superior Groups In The US.



She gained notoriety in 2011 as the uncompromising 'Tiger Mom' - boastful that Chinese mothers make better parents and ultimately have more successful children.
Amy Chau, 51, has inspired the fury of the public on Twitter with her new controversial theory that some races and religions are just superior to everyone else.
Dubbed 'simply racist' by one commentor on Twitter, another pulled no punches and called her a 'full blown eugenics pushing racist!'



She declares there to be only eight successful and superior groups of people in the United States.
 She breaks down the 'Triple Package' succinctly for her readers as follows: 
1) A superiority complex: Chau believes that any cultural group who innately thinks they are just better than others has an advantage.
Ignoring the wars, genocide and abject human misery this kind of thinking has caused, Chau and her husband declare that 'the superiority complex is antithetical to mainstream liberal thinking...the stuff of racism , colonialism, imperialism, Nazism.'

2) Insecurity: Chau and her husband believe that a deep seated insecurity can be a motivating drive to achieving success. 
'That insecurity should be a critical lever of success is another anathema, flouting the entire orthodoxy of contemporary popular and therapeutic psychology,' they write according to the New York Post.
'Note that there’s a deep tension between insecurity and a superiority complex,' the authors continue. 
'It’s odd to think of people being simultaneously insecure but also convinced of their divine election or superiority.'

3) Impulse Control: Chau thinks that perseverance and patience are virtues that have been lost to most Americans - but still exist among her eight golden cultural groups.


The Triple Package? 
The Eight Races and Relgious Groupings Amy Chua Names As Better Than Everyone Else and Why?

Jewish - Jewish Americans have the highest incomes per head across the nation

Indian - Along with Indian Americans

Chinese - Chua infamous first book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom explored the 
relationship between Chinese parents and their children's success

Iranian -  Iranian-Americans have historically excelled in business, academia, the sciences, arts and entertainment.

Lebanese-Americans - Such as Ralph Nader have had a significant participation in American politics and social and political activism.

Nigerians - Ivy League admission rates of West African immigrant groups far exceed those of non-immigrant American blacks .

Cuban exiles - Eva Mendes and Gloria Estefan are prominent Cuban exiles
Mormons - Mormons such as Mitt Romney are high profile politicians.culled

    1. When I read it yesterday I was happy for once we are in a positive light and she is right to a very large extent of immigrants in present day America

    2. Happy because you are favoured. If she had said otherwise, you would have shouted racism. Some peeps inability to be objective in analysing simple quotients is the reason church business is so lucrative in Nigeria.

  8. I do not think she is an eugenics pushing racist, she just might be right but then again it is her opinion. Why people are taking it P is because there is a lot of truth to what she has said and Being humans, we cannot stand the truth.

  9. She forgot Irish-Americans. They have produced a few Presidents.

    No Italian-Americans? Hmmm.

    I can imagine the angst when "African-Americans" see Nigerians listed here. Beef!

  13. I kinda agree with her because I haved lived in the US for almost a decade & as a Nigerian American, you can see the difference in the race run; we always strive for the best & also for our kinds, we go to the best schools & get to the top unlike te real black Americans majority of them are so lazy they want to be on the fast lane, with all the opportunities here thgey refused to get to the bacalaureate level, after high school diploma they start as retail associate & ends there, while still collecting benefits from the govt.

      The woman is correct on her analysis of Nigerians in the U.S, I believe we shall get a major break very soon at the rate Nigerians go back to school here and strive to better themselves, parents also discipline and encourage their children/wards to be educated here. We have it in us to excel, but we have to be careful about the dark side. God bless my people.

  23. The unique thing about nigerians is the suffering and laughing mentality. It is only ligical that when you push a man so hard the he reach the wall, the person will turn back and retaliate/fight. But a nigerian man will do just the opposite! If you push a nigerian so hard that he reaches the wall, he will rather prefer to break the wall so that you continue pushing him than to retaliate.
    Nigerians have greate finesse to endure adversity/hardship, we can endure alot and endurance/preseverance makes a person learn how to be patient, and patient people are often optimistic people-e go better tins.
    We do not just work very hard, but we work smarter also be it in doing evil or good, we always give our best. All this thing make nigerians conquer, take charge, and eventually succeed every and anywhere they go.
    I AM PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN, NO MATTER WHAT!!!
    GOD BLESS NIGERIA!
    LONG LIVE THE FRN!

  25. It's not even just about being successful. It's also about striving through adversity, and considering how much life throws at people, especially Nigerians; of course we belong on the lost more than any other black /African group.

  27. Anonymous January 6, 2014 at 2:57 PM; really? Jewish national? Tell me it's not so!

    Jeremy Lin will say he's American by nationality and he's of Chinese origin. Probably of the Han race but if you didn't know you'll broadly say Chinese.

    Probably because a lot of these groups she's talked about are Americans by nationality (or eventually they will be,) she's now divided the sub-groups into race.
