korea and jap..
Fallows: l0/88. k doesn’t like to be compared to j as their colony or in their shadow. jap forbid speaking k even at home. k’s nameing system is more precise and emotionally sig than those in west. fams assign names in l2 gen cycles. many can tract their clan’s name back lk yrs. l/2 pop is kim, lee or park. they resent j’s rise, but admire their beating the west. but lot of hostility toward j. they don’t like comparison of becoming another j. k’s have l/6th the per capita income of j’s. [but lower col?] lower tech. more densely populated than j. more recently and more thoroughly pulverized by war. cap: one country’s devel is good for all.
taiwan had proportionally , a large trade suplus and more of its wealth in for bank accounts than j. but taiwanese still behave like a refugee soc in socking money away.
j is only modern econ that has held down standard of liv to build trade surplus. if they let imports in, prices would drop with surplus. their econ is closed. j’s are richer but stand of liv is lower then us or eur. their econ is mercantilism [not mercantile] which is unhealthy = surpluses for their own sake. big import taxes on cars in k.
study, disc, hard work in k and j. ea feels threatened. both econs rapid, centrally planned, and based on low costs and overseas sales.
parts of seoul: [like j yrs ago]” one shop of gears, the next flywheels, people sit on sidewalks taking engine apart and rewind elect motors. you walk down st thinking this is the workshop of the world.
k’s econ more closed. no trade surplus in 85 but great rise. emotional pol of trade is xenophobic in both countries. k sick of being pushed around by us. k’s pop l/3 of j. and it’s econ is l/20th. has rel. few medium sized cos. k spend about as much of it gnp as us on mil. k more open and ir than j. & their econ more normal. j open to tech, but closed elsewhere. k more likely to think of self as connected to outside world. Christianity succeded in k and failed in j [viet and phil.. were converted long ago. k is the only place in asia where chrisian missionaries were anti-colonialist.
christianity teaches == and respect for auth independ of st.
k is peninsular; j is insular? or an island. j practically feel their snow is diff. k has usual asian distaste for l/2 blood, but not as much as in j. not the obsession with uniqueness you find in j. not hard to make true friends w/ k’s as w/ j’s. k’s want self-employ, whereas j’s have lifetime loyal to their co. hard to convince j that logic that applies to rest of world applies to them.
a big trade surplus means your econ is imbalanced – that your people have been prevented from living as well as they could. [thus big deficit = living beyong means?]
k has a debt and the only? way to pay it off is thru trade surpluses. their debt is 54% of gnp. one k said j’s have highest inc, but live like ants. one k said shipbuilding had a l0 yr future in k. k more open to free market idea than j. k’s resent us because they depend on it. didn’t like gephart’s comments.

You’re a hero and some organization ought to organize masses of people to shop in your store weekly. If I were there, I would shop there.
This boycott is disgraceful, silly, meaningless, stupid and petty. It makes blacks look bad too. If they had spent all this time chasing drug dealers or looking for work, they’d be better off.
The whole thing is over nothing, absolutely nothing. You’re being used as a scapegoat from people who feel life owes them a living. Too bad you can’t sue them.

Ethnic prejudice can have nothing to do with color. Some Irish dislike the English, some Poles dislike Russians, some French dislike Germans – all of them white.
some lighter and darker-skinned groups avoid each other in India, Latin America, and Australia.Some asians look down on whites.
* It’s part of being human, and it’s something we all should be aware of and work on – for the sake of objectivity.Jews, Irish, and others here in the past, and many white groups abroad – Armenians, Russians, Slovaks – the list is endless.

/ 3 israelis vs 750 arabs
Prejudice is petty, narrow, self-righteous, inconsistent, and immature.
We give too much attention to the plight of Blacks in So Africa who are oppressed by whites and ignore the Blacks in other lands who are being starved by Blacks.
With the influx of immigrants, an increase in racial problems, and Japan bashing, it’s a good time to look at prejudice.
In the early days of our country, we treated badly Indians, Blacks, and Mexicans.
During turn of the century immigration waves there was prejudice against the Irish, Jews, Italians and others.
Later during the civil rights struggle, we went through a lot of soul-searching and thought we had gotten rid of a lot of prejudice.
But when Arabs bought land and businesses here in ’76, public fear developed to the point a presidential commission was appointed. We also dislike them when they cut off their oil.
When Iran took Americans as hostages in the 70’s, we disliked them.
Plenty of prejudice – time for a close look:
what’s pt jfk – cath. al smith. also hair, facial features,
prejudice: pre judge usually unfavorbable. 2 op held in disregard of facts; unreasonable bias. 3 hatred or intolerance of of other races, creeds, when some people of one group take a negative view of those of another group .
Suggesting they change their external trade policies is one thing; suggesting they change their internal customs and economic system is another. – jews, irish, blacks, Am. indians, gypsies, and loo
the Irish vs. the English vs. French vs. Germans vs. Poles vs. Russians vs. Chinese, etc.
– Ethnic prejudice is: unbased negative opinions of groups like Jews, Gypsies, the Irish, Germans, Armenians, Arabs, etc. Some of these are white groups who avoid each other – something we don’t hear much of.
– Color prejudice is: unbased opinions of people of “color” like Am. Indians, Asians, Blacks, dark skinned Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, etc. the five percenters – meaning they feel five percent of blacks haven’t been mixed with white blood.
prejudice: bent, partiality, predispositiona bias or tilt against unfounded opinions of discriminating against
many who clain no prejudice about a certain group don’t have much contact with that group.
having negative opinions about – Basques, Shiks, and Chinese in Malaya? title prejudice means what? a close look.

quotas are racist in their assumption blks and hispanics can’t compete equally. [vs or have been held back]
see beyond the melting pot for: jews and blks wallow in ethnicity. hispanics are lower profile, less active. asians are reserve. indians are gone
people of all colors get their feelings hurt; blacks and jews don’t have a monopoly on suffering, and whites don’t have a monopoly on prejudice.
lot goes wrong in life. can’t blame all on prejudice. dup?
In Vietnam orphans of mixed blood are given no government aid and many have to live on the street.
Changes in neighborhoods aren’t necessarily prejudice.
/kid w/ earing and sod t-shirt: soldiers of death. speak english or die
/in bensonhurst they lst said they weren’t prejudice. then said they were.Now add “class”. The people in each social class tend to hang around with each other, because of similar lifetyle. The upper class sticks together, the middle class does, and the working class does.
because we are the leader of the free world,
Some degree of prejudice is natural in one’s growing up, but …
caste?
Mature people are color blind and judge individuals on their worth. It’s a complex subject covering many areas; however, here we’ll be talking only about ethnic and color prejudice and what is seen by some as “class” prejudice.

gypsies CompuServe ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑@b
Although intermingled with other populations, the Gypsies are a distinct ethnic group that originated in northern central India. At first known as the Dom in India, they were a low CASTE and earned their living by singing and dancing. The Dom began migrating from India in the ninth century, first as minstrels in Persia and later to escape the havoc wrecked by a series of Muslim invasions. As they migrated through the middle East, the “D” of Dom was replaced by an “R.” The Gypsies today refer to themselves as the Rom, meaning “Man.” Their language, Romany, is a mixture of Sanskrit and loanwords from various countries in which they have lived. All Gypsies speak Romany. Today there are an estimated 8 to 10 million Gypsies in more than 40 countries, an estimated 1 million of them in North America. sep unit for them in wel. office. ==================
Early History and Customs ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑@b
At the time of their first migrations into Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries, these landless wanderers‑‑colloquially called Gypsies in England‑‑earned their living as entertainers, magicians, blacksmiths, and horse dealers. They rejected agriculture and other settled occupations and pursued work that would avoid direct competition with surrounding populations. They were excluded from all craft and trade guilds, and the Roman Catholic church forbade association with Gypsy fortune tellers.
They have preserved their identity by adhering to their own social and religious laws, which govern every aspect of their lives. Their Gypsy religion, Romania, is an oral tradition passed down through generations. The Gypsies are monotheistic and worship a patriarchal god they call Del. They do not make graven images of Del, nor do they have a clergy or fixed place of worship. They follow strict purity laws‑‑marime codes‑‑and shun violence. They are not involved in wars except as victims. Intermarriage or any nonsuperficial dealing with non‑Gypsies, or gaje, was traditionally forbidden. Persecutions ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑@b
The Gypsies’ unwillingness to settle, assimilate, and become Christian made them targets for persecution. In the Middle Ages they, like the Jews, were accused of bringing bubonic plague into Europe. The Spanish INQUISITION was aimed at Gypsies as well as at the Jews and the Moors. In 1761, Maria Theresa, ruler of the Habsburg empire, devised a scheme for the mass assimilation of the Gypsies by forbidding them to travel or trade horses and by forcing them to become farmers. In the Balkan principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, under Turkish rule, Gypsies were made slaves of the state. @b
In the 19th and 20th centuries the Gypsies suffered many further injuries and ultimately, again like the Jews, were victimized by Nazi Germany. During World War II they were subjected to deadly medical experiments, and many were forced to undergo forced sterilization. By the end of the war more than 500,000 of them had been exterminated. @b
After the war Gypsies faced continued persecution in Eastern European Communist societies, several of which tried policies of forced assimilation. In the USSR, during Nikita Khrushchev’s premiership, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet decreed that Gypsies lead a settled life. Moreover, with the collapse of Eastern European Communism in 1989, renewed ethnic violence victimized Gypsies as well as other minorities.
Gypsies in North America ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑@b
The first Gypsies arrived in North America as deportees from England. The earliest evidence of their residence is a 1695 court record in Henrico County, Va. They were mentioned in colonial newspapers as a “Gypsy problem” as well. Between 1801 and 1803, the French emperor Napoleon transported hundreds of Gypsies, mostly men, to Louisiana. Spain and Portugal likewise banished their unwanted Gypsies to the New World. @b
Most of the Gypsies living in the United States today, however, descend from immigrants of the Eastern European diaspora of the 1880’s, 1890’s, and l900’s. Even after the restrictive immigration laws of 1924, Gypsy immigration to the United States continued on a diminished scale, through undocumented Latin American byways. @b
The Gypsies of North America, as well as those of Europe, live and work in extended family groups, known as kumpania. Each of these is governed by a hereditary chief, Rom Baro, who attempts to uphold traditional law while seeking consensus. North American Gypsies practice a strict form of economic territoriality wherein they divide regions into units of economic opportunity. This ensures that all Gypsies can earn a living free of competition with other Gypsies working in similar pursuits. Whenever possible, they resist working as wage laborers. They prefer to be self‑employed. The most common occupation for the women is fortune telling, usually by palmistry. A common occupation for the men is buying and selling used cars and trucks. Some groups are involved in real estate investment. @b
American Gypsies have their own legal system. Legal matters are adjudicated before the kris, a tribunal of elders that hears and decides cases. Complainants represent themselves; Gypsy attorneys do not exist. Banishment from the community is the ultimate sanction. @b
Gypsy marriages are normally arranged, and involve a bride‑price, in which the groom’s family must pay a large sum to the bride’s family. In North America the bride customarily joins the groom’s household in a patrilineal arrangement. @b
Conflicts have occurred between Gypsies and local governments over educating children, welfare benefits, and military service. Although in the United States systematic persecution of Gypsies has not occurred, official discrimination against them persists in the local statutes forbidding them to practice fortune‑telling. [crap] @b
-Moreover, insofar as history involved change, only “dynamic” societies, principally those of the West, could be said to be historical. terrible bias.
ETHNICITY AND THE MELTING POT ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑ @b
Some countries are relatively homogeneous. In Japan, for example, the ethnic majority, as measured by the government, embraces some 99 percent of the population; Koreans, the only measurable minority, make up less than half a percent. As a result, the Japanese have had very little experience with accommodating other ethnic groups and have frequently been charged, whether fairly or not, with cultural elitism. @b
At the other extreme, in the United States, nationality is quite widely assumed to be hyphenated. Even the aboriginal population is identified as “native American” to distinguish it from Anglo‑American, African‑American, and so on. The United States, accordingly, is perceived throughout the world as a successful experiment in ethnic mixing, the preeminent melting pot to many. @b
Another, strikingly successful example of a multiethnic country is Switzerland, where French‑, German‑, and Italian‑speakers divided between Roman Catholic and Protestant adherents live and work in exceptional harmony and prosperity. Ethnic diversity in the Swiss case appears to have had a stimulating effect rather than a divisive one. Studies of structural conditions in Switzerland suggest that harmony may coexist with diversity where important characteristics are shared. There, at least, linguistic and sectarian differences have proved in recent centuries to be subordinate to the condition of being Swiss‑‑and perhaps also European. Although not a melting pot, like the United States, Switzerland is a model of ethnic toleration.
Patterns of Settlement ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑ @b
Shifting political and religious lines, altered economic conditions, and natural disasters have created more immigrants than have the sum total of human wanderlust and fortune hunting. The first waves of settlement in colonial North America, for example, arose in many cases from religious persecutions in Great Britain and the continent of Europe. In the 17th century English Puritans (see PURITANISM) and French HUGUENOTS emigrated to the New World in search of toleration. They were followed by Scots‑Irish peasants impoverished by the ENCLOSURE of common lands at the turn of the next century. Roman Catholics suffering from a variety of legal disabilities in 18th‑century England and Scotland settled parts of Maryland, while Scandinavian farmers in the early‑19th century sought an adequate growing season in the northern Middle West. A potato blight and consequent famine in the mid‑19th century forced millions of rural Irish into involuntary exile in the urban slums of an industrializing United States. @b
At the same time that the Puritans were settling parts of New England the proprietors of royal land grants in the mid‑Atlantic and southern colonies were underwriting the transportation of white European indentured servants (see INDENTURED SERVICE) to work their land. When these eventually earned their freedom, the planter aristocracy found a cheaper and more permanent substitute‑‑kidnapped and enslaved Africans sold as chattel whose children and later progeny likewise became personal property. @b
The demands of industrialization and a corresponding need for a large pool of cheap labor acted as a magnet attracting a flood of immigration from southern and eastern Europe, to replace the upwardly mobile Irish‑Americans, at the turn of the 20th century. Railroad building in the American West pulled in a wave of Chinese coolie labor. Other groups arrived for a variety of reasons, but the main social characteristic of the American experiment, its multiethnic mix, never changed. @b
As new ethnic groups arrived earlier ones were absorbed into the predominantly white population of mostly European extraction. Usually this took place in a generation or two, in some cases longer. But multiethnicity was the rule and the melting pot‑‑assimilation of ethnic minorities into the ever‑changing majority‑‑the ideal.
Minority Identity and Assimilation ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑ @b
An unfortunate secondary characteristic of ethnic minority status is that it is often accompanied by prejudice and discrimination. Ethnic minorities tend to be at a disadvantage in most situations, most often because they are stigmatized as different from the norm. Religion and, most significantly, skin color are more apt than almost anything else to provoke prejudice, and the resistance to assimilation encountered by persons of different skin color is pronounced and long‑lasting. @b
In the United States the greatest hostility toward ethnic minorities repeatedly has come from those Americans most threatened by the newcomers. At times those threatened have included a majority of working men and women, and the government has usually responded by enacting harsh and restrictive immigration laws or quotas. Hence, immigration has tended to occur in waves‑‑most pronounced in the mid‑19th century and early‑ and late‑20th century, when the demand for labor was most urgent and jobs most plentiful. @b
The rate of assimilation of these new arrivals has generally depended on several factors, some positive, some not. First and foremost, different skin color has tended to be exclusionary, although recent immigrants to the United States from India and Caribbean countries have enjoyed economic success and social acceptance of a kind only rarely experienced by the descendants of early America’s slaves‑‑a consequence, perhaps, of their having a homeland to refer to 0 instead of a history of dependency 0 and discrimination. In addition, older people are apt to be less assimilable than young, and men generally less ??? so than women. Those arriving on the crest of demographic waves are more likely than other immigrants to encounter hostility and rejection. The farther ??? away from their original cultures, the more easily, it appears, are emigres able to adjust. @b
The most positive factor affecting change and acceptance is the degree of similarity, especially of language and religion, of the dominant and minority cultures. Moreover, if the immigrant group has economic resources or the means, including education, to obtain them, its acceptance will be correspondingly easier. This is especially so in the United States, where class is largely defined by economic success. @b
Government has an important interest in social cohesion, but it is almost impossible to force social change. Where the host society does not want to accept new arrivals, therefore, government is hamstrung. %&#@%@!
Such an impasse may produce an undesirable and unfair outcome in which a minority becomes acculturated but not assimilated. This is the classic situation requiring legal minority and civil rights laws to stave off ethnic conflict. a Such a minority will inevitably seek ways to assure the equal protection of the laws, as American blacks have done in the civil rights struggles of the 20th century.
Ethnic and Religious Tensions ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑ @b
In many parts of Asia, long‑standing ethnic and religious rivalries have threatened economic progress and political unity. The Burmans drove out most Indian residents after independence, while the Malays challenged the continuing prominence of Chinese residents in their affairs. The inclusion of largely Chinese Singapore in the Malaysian federation proved short‑lived (1963‑65). In 1971 the Bengalis of East Pakistan broke away and created the new nation of Bangladesh. Cyprus, torn by ethnic rivalries since independence (1959), was forcibly partitioned (1975) into Greek and Turkish sectors following a Turkish invasion. Elsewhere, there have been a series of INDIA‑PAKISTAN WARS and ARAB‑ISRAELI WARS, border skirmishes between China and India and China and Vietnam, and the long IRAN‑IRAQ WAR (1980‑88). SIKHS and Muslim Kashmiris in India, TAMILS in Sri Lanka, Palestinian Arabs, KURDS in Turkey and Iraq, and other minorities have agitated, sometimes violently, for separate political status. Despite a 1979 Egyptian‑Israeli peace treaty and the launching of an INTIFADA (uprising) by Palestinian Arabs in the Israeli‑occupied territories in 1987, the question of a Palestinian Arab homeland remains unresolved and is a key factor in the Arab‑Israeli conflict. Much of Asia has been affected by a rising tide of Islamic fundamentalism. A revolution led to the creation of an Islamic republic in Iran in 1979, while Lebanon was long a battleground of warring religious factions. Muslim rebels in Afghanistan fought each other after their victory, while Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia vied for influence in former Soviet Central Asia. ===========
Basques ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑ @b
The Basques are a people whose homeland is the westernmost part of the Pyrenees Mountains and the immediately surrounding regions. This area comprises four provinces in Spain (Guipuzcoa, Vizcaya, Alava, and Navarra) and three provinces in the department of Pyrenees‑Atlantique in France (Soule, Labourd, and Basse‑Navarre). Known to the Spanish as vascos and to the French as basques, the Basques call themselves Euskaldunak and their homeland Euskadi. Basque speakers number about 890,000 in Spain and 80,000 in France (1987 est.), but a larger number identify themselves as Basques in each country. @b
The origins of the Basques are a mystery. Their language is unrelated to any Indo‑European language. Although they look much like their French and Spanish neighbors, Basques possess the lowest frequency of blood‑type B and the highest frequencies of types O and Rh‑negative of any population in Europe. They are staunchly Roman Catholic and noted for their distinctive folklore, folk theater, games, music, and a light‑footed, acrobatic form of dancing. @b
Traditionally a fiercely independent peasant and fishing people, they were known as early as the Middle Ages as skilled boat makers and courageous whale hunters and cod fishermen who often ranged far into the Atlantic. Their characteristic settlement is the isolated farm. The growth of villages is a relatively recent response to increased industry and trade in the Basque region. @b
A large number of Basques have migrated to North and South America. Historically, this migration has been the result partly of adverse political circumstances (most Basques opposed the Franco regime in Spain) and partly of the inheritance rule known as primogeniture, by which the oldest son inherits the family farm. Younger sons generally have either sought employment in coastal settlements as industrial workers or fishermen, or they have migrated to the New World, frequently finding work as sheepherders. @b
Isolated in their mountainous homeland, the Basques repulsed incursions by Romans, Germanic tribes, Moors, and others until the 1700s. They lost their autonomy in France after the French Revolution (1789) and in Spain by the early 1800s. A movement for Basque separatism rose in the 19th and 20th centuries, which since 1959 has been led by the militant separatist organization ETA (a Basque acronym for “Basqueland and Freedom”). Spain’s Basques were granted home rule in 1980, but ETA violence continued. Basque separatists won about 16% of the vote in regional elections in October 1990. @b
prejudice ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑ @b
Prejudice, in social behavior, is a negative prejudgment of the members of a race or group,in the face of facts that contradict such a judgment. A prejudiced person tends to believe that his or her own group is superior to others in intelligence, character, or behavior. Psychologists have sought the origins of prejudice in personality disorders; causative factors in the social environment; and attributes of normal thought processes. Prejudice often exists together with social institutions such as segregation, apartheid, or other forms of discrimination. It is not found among children under 3 or 4 years of age. @b

/Non‑Jewish Ghettos ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑@b
In recent years the word ghetto has been used to label any area of confinement or voluntary residence of minority populations. One hears of Gypsy ghettos in Spain, Algerian ghettos in France, and, especially, black, Puerto Rican, and Chicano ghettos in the United States. Hispanic ghettos are often called barrios. In many ways the term ghetto is appropriate for these areas, for in them one finds many of the characteristics so often associated with Jewish quarters: the evidence of discrimination, often manifest in segregation; dual allegiances created by the fact that the ghetto dwellers are subject to but not of the dominant society; communal bonds created out of a need for defensive insulation against the outer world; and, sometimes but not always, local institutions to help care for group members. @b
The most famous black ghetto is Harlem, a section of New York City that was originally a near‑suburb of the central city. Every large American city has its own “Harlem.” Among the better known are Watts in Los Angeles, the South Side of Chicago, Hough in Cleveland, Roxbury in Boston, and Bedford‑Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. @b
Like many Jewish ghettos, those of other ethnic groups have been painful reminders to the inhabitants of their “second‑class citizenship.” They are also places of refuge and cultural strength and are incubators of great talent in the arts and humanities. “From the ghetto” is a common theme of many young writers whose works often combine the bitterness of confinement with a sense of comradeship to give outsiders a glimpse into what, for many, is an unfamiliar world. @b

/bell curve shattered a 2 decade long taboo of not talking about it.
The Bell Curve* by Jim Powell
Within a month after its October publication date, Richard
Herrnstein and Charles Murray’s explosive bestseller *The Bell
Curve* sold over 250,000 copies. The publisher had another
150,000 copies printed. This 847‑page report about intelligence
shattered a two‑decade‑long taboo against publicly discussing the
subject and sent shock waves across America.
Since it would be almost impossible for you to keep up with
all the coverage about *The Bell Curve* on TV (such as *Primetime
Live*), radio, newspapers and magazines, I’ll share our overview
here. Publications especially have covered *The Bell Curve* not
once but many times via feature articles, news stories,
editorials, letters to the editor, op‑ed pieces and follow‑up
articles. *The New York Times*, for instance, has published
about a dozen pieces on the book.
If major media had their way, intelligence would remain a
taboo subject, public discussion banned. They denounced
Herrnstein and Murray for making a case that intelligence is
substantially inherited, that intelligence level is the best
predictor of success and social problems, and that welfare state
taxes and spending will never solve social problems. The most
vicious attacks were triggered by Herrnstein and Murray’s 13th
chapter which presented evidence showing that whites as a group
are more intelligent than blacks as a group (and, if you care to
know their whole story, that East Asians as a group are more
intelligent than whites as a group). Herrnstein and Murray
acknowledged repeatedly that group statistics don’t tell whether
a particular individual will be a good worker, partner, neighbor,
spouse, etc.
Typically, political reporters did hatchet jobs with hardly
a look at evidence, while science reporters provided even‑handed
analysis. Murray took the heat, because Herrnstein died before
the book was published. For example, the *New York Times Sunday
Magazine* ran a nasty, superficial article by the paper’s
Washington political correspondent Jason DeParle who carried on
about Murray’s sex life and love for fine wines. The daily *New
York Times* assigned business writer Peter Passell to do a book
review, and he offered a straightforward summary of findings
before dismissing the work as “a hoary lecture on the evils of
the welfare state.” I credit Passell for being candid: while
critics talk about race, I think it’s a code word‑‑they’re most
outraged by Murray and Herrnstein’s explicit assault on the
welfare state.
Science reporter Malcolm Browne wrote a long, rather
sympathetic article beginning on the front page of the *New York
Times Book Review*. Notable comment: “One of the strengths of
‘The Bell Curve’ is that it devotes an entire section to the
relationships between I.Q. and behavior among whites alone,
thereby eliminating the complications arising from interracial
comparisons. Analyses of data gathered from exclusively white
demographic groups strongly suggest that even if one ignores
race, socioeconomic status and family background, I.Q. does
indeed correlate with birth rates, crime rates and many other
things. Taken as a whole, the statistics are impressive; it
seems hard to challenge the notion that I.Q. plays a
statistically important role in the shaping of society.”
*Newsweek*, too, published a hatchet job by a political
reporter and a reasoned piece by a science reporter. Political
reporter Tom Morganthau‑‑picking up on the *Times’* fine wine
angle‑‑pigeonholed Murray as a “bon vivant and conservative
ideologue,” “an intellectual snake charmer” who is “deeply
angry.” Herrnstein and Murray’s critique of affirmative action
provoked Morganthau to turn his supposed news story into an
editorial diatribe. “Nor is it feasible, legally and morally,”
he snarled, “to roll back affirmative action for blacks.” On the
very next page of *Newsweek*, Geoffrey Cowley reported a science
story from an utterly different viewpoint, declaring that
“Contrary to popular wisdom, IQ has not been discredited.
Neither has the idea of differences among races and classes.” He
referred to Murray and Herrnstein’s “compelling new data.”
*The New Republic* gave Herrnstein and Murray 11 pages to
state their case, then in the same issue published 16 pages of
related pieces, mostly attacking their views. For example, in a
piece titled “Neo‑Nazis!” Jeffrey Rosen and Charles Lane smeared
the book as “a chilly synthesis of the findings of eccentric race
theorists and eugenicists.” Hugh Pearson suggested Herrnstein
and Murray “have found a way for racists to rationalize their
racism without losing sleep over it.”
*Time* magazine assigned its hatchet job to Richard Lacayo
who denounced Herrnstein and Murray’s “truly inflammatory
notions.” Lacayo seemed to froth at the mouth over the authors’
contention that welfare state spending programs like Head Start
don’t do any good. Lacayo dismissed the book as reviving “some
of the most poisonous battles of the late 1960s and ’70s…
Racists will be delighted.”
Even *The Economist*, which normally favors free market
positions, attacked Murray. Their piece focused on his view that
people would be better served by dismantling the welfare state,
which *The Economist* belittled as “popular prejudice.”
The most serious attack on *The Bell Curve* was Charles
Lane’s “Tainted Sources” article in *New York Review of Books*.
He notes that Herrnstein and Murray drew from five articles
published in *Mankind Quarterly*, a journal long associated with
white supremacy doctrines. Moreover, Lane points out that the
authors cited work by 17 researchers, including 10 present or
former editors, who published in that journal. At the same time,
Lane acknowledged that findings must be judged on their merits.
Murray denounced Lane’s attack as guilt by association.
*The Wall Street Journal* devoted nearly its entire
editorial page to an excerpt from *The Bell Curve*. Later,
*Journal* editor George Melloan reflected in one of his Monday
columns: “U.S. liberals might do well to stop reading things into
the Herrnstein‑Murray book that aren’t there and think about
where their own efforts at thought control can lead.”
In a syndicated newspaper column, Thomas Sowell declared:
“This is one of the most sober, responsible, thorough and
thoughtful books to be published in years. I don’t happen to
agree with everything in it, but that is beside the point… What
we are seeing now is the beginning of a campaign for the moral
extermination of Charles Murray, in order to avoid facing the
issues he raises and the empirical evidence that he presents.”
*Forbes’* Peter Brimelow wrote the most comprehensive piece
on the book. He addressed the key questions everybody is asking.
For example, don’t the “experts” agree intelligence tests cannot
predict academic or job performance? Isn’t heredity discredited?
What’s the link between intelligence and chronic poverty, welfare
and crime? To what extent can a good environment compensate for
low intelligence? Why bring up such an explosive subject in the
first place?
If you haven’t read the book, by all means get a copy and
make up your own mind about these controversial issues.

For the record, there were several people in the Santa Ana area who helped out the Japanese farmers when they were interned. I know that Mr. Mendez worked the Munimitsu farm and maybe some others. Attorney Fred Forgey, Sr. helped out various families.
Also, R.C. Hoiles, owner and editor of the Santa Ana Register, wrote one of only two newspaper editorials critical of the US government treatment of citizens and legal residents. His scathing denouncement of this action clearly identified the constitutional boundaries overrun by the government. Happy New Year to Marumotos near and far.
