Writer Amy Chau, who gained notoriety 2
years ago as 'Tiger Mum' after publishing
her controversial book 'Battle Hymn of the
Tiger Mother " where she claimed that
Chinese mums make the best parents and
ultimately have more successful children,
is back in the news.
Chau and her husband, Jed Rubenfeld, just
released a controversial (and some say
racist) parenting guide called 'The Triple
Package', where they declared there to be
only eight successful and superior groups
of people in the US.

They eight are: Chinese, Jewish, Indian,
Iranian, Lebanese-Americans, Nigerians,
Cuban exiles and Mormons

'That certain groups do much better in
America than others, as measured by
income, occupational status, test
scores and so on, is difficult to talk
about,' Amy and Jed write.

Amy Chau, 51, breaks down the 'Triple
Package' 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.

'Impulse control refers to the ability to
resist temptation, especially the temptation
to give up in the face of hardship or quit
instead of persevering at a difficult task.'

Why is everything you ever post always lacking in common sense? U always sound like u were above the age of 50 before u ever boarded a plane.

Yea. That's true. Nigerians are well known here in the US. They are known to be hardworking, educated, self-confident, strong etc, much to the chagrin of black americans who perceive Nigerians as threat to them who have come to take away all their jobs and educational slots.

According to a 2006 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, 17 percent of all Nigerians in the U.S. hold a master’s degree, 4 percent hold a doctorate and 37 percent have a bachelor’s degree. In comparison, 8 percent of the white population in the U.S. hold a master’s degrees, 1 percent hold a doctorate and 19 percent have a bachelor’s degrees.
