The Peer Pressure Factor

by Paul Jones

In the City of New York, as in the case with the recent lawsuit against Harvard claiming discrimination in admission policies, the Asian-Americans (really the East Asians of Chinese, Korean and Japanese origin) are not willing to go along with the arguments in favor of affirmative action for other non-whites, specifically blacks and Hispanics.

In the case of New York City, the issue has developed over specialized high schools in the city that serve about 18,000 students. As described in an article in “The Atlantic” of June 18, 2018, 8 out of 9 of them have admission based on how Middle School students do on a standardized test. These schools, especially the top three, give the best students an inside track to admission to the Ivy League universities.

In early June, 2018 Mayor De Blasio and his Mexican-American appointee as Chancellor of New York City Schools, Ricardo Carranza, proposed getting rid of the test because at the three highest status schools, Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech, the combined black and Latino contingent for this year was respectively 4%, 9% and 13%, when blacks and Latinos make up about 70% of the students in the New York public school system.

The plan is to replace Specialized High Schools Admissions Test with a system that would admit the top 7% of students of every public Middle School in the city, making the collective student body at 7 of the 8 specialized schools around 45% black and Hispanic.

However, this would greatly affect Asian background students, since 30% of Asian applicants under the test system in 2018 received offers to specialized schools, accounting for 50% of the total students.

The most interesting point is how peer pressure expectations at these schools account for a key reason why these schools are so academically oriented, since if there is a critical mass of such students it is going to have a positive impact on the rest of the student body because it’s not socially acceptable to be a screw-up. The intensity of this is so great that the students themselves will usually go beyond a teacher’s instruction in order to further find out about concepts not fully explained in class. “Abraham Baumel, a former principal at the school, laid out the dynamic nicely: “The fact is, if the teacher is not delivering at a place like Stuyvesant, the kids will find the answers from one another, from books and from other classes. They will find a way to learn the material, and the teacher thinks he is responsible for that marvelous achievement.”

When Department of Education staffers visited one of the city’s top academic districts on Oct. 18, 2018, a crowd of mostly Asian-American parents would have none of the new proposal. In this Brooklyn district one parent, Nancy Tang, said “Don’t punish those who study hard.”

Recently, according to the Dec. 9, 2018 edition of the “New York Post,” an article said “De Blasio doesn’t care what parents think about his elite-school-quota plan.” When the highest ranking Department of Education official went to Manhattan District 2’s parents meeting, he found 350 parents who mostly jeered and booed at the arguments he made for the proposed change.

As the article further stated, “Yes, blacks and Hispanics make up nearly 70 percent of students citywide, yet only 10 percent of enrollments at the top high schools. But the real problem is that they also represent 90 percent of the students who fail state Math and English tests.”

The New York State lawmakers need to approve this proposed change in the entrance requirements.“Furious organizing in Asian communities may convince state lawmakers to reject the De Blasio-Carranza drive to eliminate the race-blind exam for admissions to the schools. But that may not be enough: De Blasio can continue expanding alternative plans to admission, or have his minions water down the exam to near-meaningless.”

What is the takeaway from all this ongoing controversy as it relates to white students who are, a sfar as I.Q. differential, in a similar position in relation to black and Hispanic students? It is that unlike Asian-Americans, with average I.Q. levels approximately equal to that of white students, the in-group, peer pressure among white students to succeed has been steadily eroded by a Z.O.G.system which is mainly interested in the amalgamation of the races.

As T.S. Eliot stated,“The cultural battle is the political battle at its deepest level,” and culture is where white youth are being attacked through Gangsta Rap music and lyrics,media, entertainment and the educational programming which creates a sense of guilt about their heritage and the many achievements of their ancestors. This is something which rarely happens in the case of students of Chinese, Korean and Japanese background. They feel racial solidarity and an urge to do well not only for themselves, but also as an expression of their racial consciousness and pride in being a member of their respective ethnic groups.

If this process continues unchecked, in the future U.S. society will be made up of a higher percentage of Asians who make it into the upper-middle class and a shrinking percentage of whites who do so. The Jewish elite will still be the controllers of the culture and political process, but the needed technocrats and mathematical and scientific minds will be more heavily East Asian.

Meanwhile, the “dumbed down” educational system for whites is gradually lowering their achievements towards the levels of blacks and Hispanics. A decline in peer pressure to succeed academically among them is producing more and more wiggers, with Eminem and others like him being the model of how to “act black” and supposedly achieve higher peer status. All this ties in with the goal of Z.O.G. to produce a Latin American style, Mestizo and Mulatto future for the lower and lower-middle classes in the U.S. Let’s hope that somehow enough white youth will resist the “siren call” of the corrupters and be able to pass through the dangerous straits they have to navigate so as to grow up to become wholesome and responsible individuals, who once again take pride in all the historic accomplishments of Western Man and be willing to undertake the tremendous challenges that will face them so as to ensure the survival of the European races of mankind.
