"no looting in Japan"

They are a country of moral, family, and high principles....they are self-dependent, not government parasites who think that whatever someone else has, they should "share"....

I’m not a racist, I’m a culturist.

Some cultures are vastly INFERIOR to others.
It doesn’t matter what your “melanometrics” are, these inferior cultures are uncivilized, brutal, and lead to huge failures.

Japan isn’t diverse enough to create rioting or looting.

Chile isn't particularly diverse. Neither is Haiti.

They are a different class of people in that they have "class." Were this New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago, etc., the result would be much different. The Japanese have not yet introduced "tribalism" to their culture.

Very good point. I also think that, unlike 911 which was only a certain part of a city (outsiders from other neighborhoods with bad intentions) could come in and try to steal, the destruction was more vast in the affected areas of Japan. Basically, everyone was a victim directly affected, they're too busy looking for their missing families or just trying to survive minute to minute even as we speak. When its the victim doing the looting it's not called looting it's called survival.

But again I also think culture has a lot more to play in it as you said.

Japan is about family, community and honor. Too much of America is about “ME!”

On the contrary, those places are HUGELY “diverse” as defined by the left -

fewer white people and less Western Civilization.

When I was in school, we had an annual back to school lecture on the key to success, not just in school, but in life. The key word was RESPECT, respect for those in authority,parents, teachers and others, respect for each other and most of all respect for ourselves.

The socialist union agenda changed all this by giving students rights and putting self-esteem above learning and test scores.

RESPECT is something that Japan never abandoned.

Pretty impressive, if the woman is sufficiently ugly to be considered a weapon.

That's not normal ugly. She must be "Helen Thomas" ugly.

The Japanese have not yet introduced "tribalism" to their culture.

Huh? Japanese 98.5%, Koreans 0.5%, Chinese 0.4%, other 0.6%

If that is not tribal I don't know what is.

True for the most part but explaining the “Bell Curve” using only culture might be difficult.

You would think. But then again, no reports to stand behind yet. I remember seeing the reports on sept 11th. Even on 911 looting was much lower than normal for a city as big as NY.

Perhaps davisfh should have said "multitribalism."
