I don’t need to be lazy today, but I did want to share this excellent post with y’all from a blogger named “Raju“. I’m sure he won’t mind:
The journey to India starts with a flight from my small local airport to a large international airport. I am usually the only person of Indian descent on the plane. My town is small enough that I usually see someone I know every time I go the airport. I am an American. I talk like one, dress like one, and I don’t emanate unpleasant odors. All passengers board the plane in an orderly fashion, and we depart.
At the big airport, we exit the plane like ordinary people. If I have time, I shop, eat, drink, etc. Otherwise, I proceed directly to my gate. Naturally, I encounter many more Indians. They behave themselves. Indian Browns are still very much in the minority at the gate. Still, I can feel the angst – the excitement of visiting the homeland. We board the plane in an orderly fashion, and we depart for Europe. I usually go through Frankfurt.
In Europe, we exit the plane like ordinary people. All the Indians gather at the gate for the plane destined for India. Everyone is well behaved, as one would expect. After all, Indian immigrants are doctors, engineers, professors, entrepreneurs, or students in an advanced field. The parents speak with Indian accents, the children speak with the accents of the regions in which they are raised. When the brown children get loud, the parents quickly quieten them. Now is not the time to be obnoxious. “Shshsh!” The parents seem to say. “The Germans are watching.”

He’s got some really interesting stuff on his blog. He’s got wonderful travel photos and keen insights. Thanks Ragu!
Thank you for visiting my site and sharing my post.
An important distinction between Asians and NAMs — they look UP to European culture and aspire to emulate it, while the unsuccessful NAM groups (blacks, non-Cuban Hispanics, and Native Americans) claim cultural equality and deprecate European-based civilization. Even among black countries, there are examples of successful ones who embraced Europe as their model (Barbados vs. Haiti).

I have observed this firsthand. Except the ‘Indian’ behavior started at the European airport (Paris). Then the flight was just complete chaos. It seemed to me like a critical mass had to be reached.
I think this type of behavior is mostly true for almost all subgroups who return to a differing culture.
There is only one subgroup though that immediately comes to mind that can’t seem to identify and act in accordance within the expected behavior.
Jew Among You! Are you the guy who posted a video at YOUTUBE putting 3 different types of ice cream in a blender and saying that’s what “liberals” want to do to all the various entho-cultures, amalgamate them in the name of “multi-culturalism”? And that you prefer enjoying each ice cream separate in its own unique flavor?
Actually its the opposite, at least here in USA (don’t know where you are writing from). Here the “conservatives” want people to “assimilate” into one homogenous mass and even convert to Christianity! The liberals and multi-culturalists on the other hand like freedom and diversity of religions and cultures.
As far as Asians emulating “European culture” some do. However a very large % want to avoid all your divorce, promiscuous sex, disrespect for elders, obnoxious teenage rebellion, single parenting, single parent dating, etc. For the most part Asians take pride in their various ethno-cultural traditions, philosophies, religions and family values.
Those Indians may get off the plane and start littering and talking loud once in India but they will not date, have promiscuous sex, smartass back talk their parents, divorce, talk trash about their families, religion or traditions once in India because “sssshhhh, the Indians are watching”.
While Germans may come down hard on people who throw candy wrappers out the window, they are perfectly comfortable with promiscious sex, divorce, obnoxious teenage disrespect of elders, single parenting, single parent dating, and all manner of other uncivilized behaviour that is rampant (and indeed the universal hallmark of) Western so-called “civilization”.
What’s wrong with promiscuous sex, disrespect for elders, obnoxious teenage rebellion, single parenting, single parent dating, etc? It’s all just as valid as female genital mutilation. You sound like a “conservative”.
Embrace diversity!
This is the kind of comment I like. From somebody who actually THINKS when disagreeing with me rather than simply flinging insults. Except that, in this case, it’s not so much me as Raju. It’s deserving of a separate post and I do plan on providing it in the near future.
What have you been smoking? All the negatives you cite are the result of progressive/liberal/communistic infiltration of traditional Western civilization.
“The liberals and multi-culturalists on the other hand like freedom and diversity of religions and cultures.”
Again, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN SMOKING?
No one is claiming Latin American countries have a problem with freedom and diversity of religions and cultures. And that this problem will only be solved when millions of non Latinos flood all Latino countries and assimilate.
No one is claming Africa has a problem with freedom and diversity of religions and cultures. And that this problem will only be solved when millions of non Africans flood all African countries and assimilate.
No one is claming Asia has a problem with freedom and diversity of religions and cultures. And that problem will only be solved when millions of non Asians flood Asia and assimilate.
Only White countries have this problem. Only White politicians are doing this. Only White CHILDREN are affected. IT IS GENOCIDE!!!!
Nevertheless, Jesse, “progressives, liberals and communists” have their origin in the West (or at least what non-Westerners call “the West”). His post deserves a more comprehensive response, which it’ll get soon enough.
jewamoungyou
You are correct. The negatives cited are not done by outsiders, but by members of the Western Civilization.
I await your comprehensive response.
“No one is claiming Latin American countries have a problem with freedom and diversity of religions and cultures. And that this problem will only be solved when millions of non Latinos flood all Latino countries and assimilate.

No one is claming Asia has a problem with freedom and diversity of religions and cultures. And that problem will only be solved when millions of non Asians flood Asia and assimilate.”
Actually all of this has been claimed since the onslaught of Christianity in all of these places. Heck, Africa, which once had a plethora of many religions, is predominantly Christian and Muslim today. The destruction of indigenous religions is even more pervasive in Latin America.
It is only Asia which has managed to not be completely culturally murdered by Islamo-Christo ideology.
Yew Among You
Refresh my memory please.
When did millions of White Christians flood South and Central America, Africa, and Asia?
A case of White Christians flooding North America, Australia, and New Zealand could be made. These areas have been part of European/ Western/ White civilization for several hundred years now.
Traditional Weatern Civilization, not the Judaeo-Communist subversion that has taken controll of the Wests govt and media elites, did not tolerate the destructive behaviors you attribute to Western Civilization. The good manners in public and cleanliness, that you seem to dismiss, are parts of Traditional Western civilization that have not been lost.
“It is only Asia wich has managed to not be completely culturely murderd by Islamo-Christo ideology.”
This speaks to the strength and durability of Asian culture.
It does not speak to Asians conforming to certain Western values in the west and reverting to certain lower values when they return to asia.
Where are you from, and where do you currently reside in the U.S.?
“A case of White Christians flooding North America, Australia, and New Zealand could be made. These areas have been part of European/ Western/ White civilization for several hundred years now.”
Heh. A few hundred years from now Mexicans may be saying, “a case of brown catholics flooding North America could be made. This area has been part of Latin Catholic civilization for several hundred years now”
I’m currently on the East coast of US. But have spent time on the West coast and central midwest. My experience with liberal identified people has been the same everywhere. They do not expect me to assimilate to their religions or lifestyles while conservative identifieds do.
I asked Jewamongyou if he feels this is a particularly Christian trait. He has not answered yet.
What do you think?
“The good manners in public and cleanliness, that you seem to dismiss”
Not at all. Pristine cleanliness and good manners (respect) is a key cultural tradition that has been inculturated into me by my great grandparents (2 of whom I had the fortune of living with for a short time as a very young child), my grandparents, parents and ancestors.
I appreciate these values wherever I see them manifest.
This is a topic that needs to be explored here. While people such as myself have what may be traditionally considered “conservative values”, when we meet other conservative identified Americans, they tend to be Christians that do not extend respect to non-Christian religions and in fact expect non-Christian conservatives to convert to Christianity.
Therefore persons such as myself, though socially and fiscally conservative, may feel more comfortable in liberal circles because there is acceptance and respect in those circles for religions other than Christianity.
Discuss.
Here the “conservatives” want people to “assimilate” into one homogenous mass and even convert to Christianity!
Do you think anyone around here is a “conservative”? Can you name one? Some of us have a little in common with conservatives, but not with “conservatives”.
Who are you thinking of anyway? I suspect the people who want conversions to Christianity are Christians. Those who want conversions to Islam are Muslims. Those who want conversions to Scientology are Scientologists. Those who want conversions to Marxism-Leninism are Marxist-Leninists. Do you see the pattern?
“Do you think anyone around here is a “conservative”? Can you name one? Some of us have a little in common with conservatives, but not with “conservatives”
I’m new to this blog so I don’t know anyone here at this blog or how they identify themselves. I was simply sharing my personal experiences with people who identify as “liberal” or might be identified by others as such, in relation to Jew’s video claiming that liberals want cultural boundaries to be blurred and everyone blended together in one homogeneous mass.
My personal experience in the particular area of the US where I currently reside is that self and other identified “liberals” are very respectful of my cultural and religious differences, whereas the self and other identified conservatives I’ve dealt with have not been and in fact want me to “assimilate” to be more like them and convert to their religion.
That’s all.
Who is around here? Ideologically speaking.
I am a white southerner, Scott’s-Irish decent. Recovering Judaeo-Christian-Zionist. White Nationalist/ Seperatist.

Yikes! Is that what I’m gonna look like when I’m 80?
Live long and prosper.
Re: Yew among you,
I’ve been thinking about your question regarding “conservative” Christians over the last few days and I haven’t reached a truly good answer. The best I can come up with is that I don’t consider those people to be “Conservative”, but “Christian”. It seems to me that the term “conservative” has lost much of its meaning. Thus, questions regarding “conservatives” will often lack precise answers. It’s a malleable, artificial, term. Intolerance to others seems to be very common among Christians and Muslims Of course, this will vary with sect and with the individual. But I don’t think this intolerance is a trait of conservatism. Just my two-cents.
Yes but I’m talking in the context of the USA where, in my experience, “conservatives” overwhelmingly identify as Christian as well, isn’t it?
