Then, Dao really gets everyone worked up by noting that the “model minority myth” was “generally true of Asian families”; they tend to “stick together” and are “taught to work hard in school and not get into trouble.” Dao says, “you don’t have to be Asian, or white for that matter, to not have kids out of wedlock” or not “commit crime.”
“It’s just common sense,” he goes on, that assimilation means “having a nuclear family, buying a house, going to school.”
Oh boy, just look at the shocked faces of some of the panelists who confuse activism with good citizenship. One of them exclaims, “what is happening?!”
All of Dao’s claims are objectively true.
[Don’t tell a certain state legislator in South Dakota, but Dao and Harsanyi are correct. And my snark aside, this is only a “life hack” now because we have as a society tossed aside the wisdom of thousands of years of civilization and decades of American experience. The path to real happiness is to procreate within marriage, stay together to raise the children, and build wealth to sustain the nuclear family without sticking noses into the lives of others. It only sounds remarkable now because of the relentless campaign by cultural elites to obfuscate the truth. — Ed]
