The media are cautiously beginning to note that the earthquake/tsunami in Japan has not resulted in a single reported case of looting or even disorderly behavior. Dazed residents have gone back to smashed houses to salvage what they can, but no one worries about thieves. Thousands of homeless line up quietly and politely as they wait for emergency food and water. The contrast with what happened after the Haiti earthquake last January or Hurricane Katrina in 2005 could not be more stark. In both cases, there was an almost immediate descent into savagery, with police officers joining in the looting. In New Orleans, evacuation centers became nightmares of violence and lawlessness, and the National Guard had to carry weapons on relief missions. In Haiti, tent cities for the quake victims became scenes of mass rape. The next news story for today quotes two American “experts” on why the Japanese are so well behaved. Gregory Pflugfelder of Columbia University says it is because, unlike Americans, Japanese are not individualistic and care about the group. Merry White of Boston University says Americans loot and riot because of frustration over “alienation and class gaps.” Wrong. Incapable, as usual, of considering race, they cannot see that the greatest advantage the Japanese have is that they are not black. It is impossible—and I mean impossible—to imagine any black population anywhere in the world behaving like the Japanese. It is not just blacks. What if a catastrophe struck in Mexico or Indonesia or India or Egypt or Colombia? There would be widespread looting. Native relief agencies would make huge profits selling donated supplies rather than giving them away. Americans or Europeans who showed up with trucks of food would be mobbed. Human vileness would make the calamity vastly worse for the survivors. Prof. White says the real question is why Americans loot, not why the Japanese don’t. Wrong again. Virtually all people loot if the forces of order are knocked out, and it has nothing to do with “individualism” or “alienation and class gaps.” That is their nature. The “experts” are also wrong to talk about “Americans” as if there were only one kind. Everyone knows that if the lights go out there will be trouble in Detroit but not in Portland, and everyone knows why: Detroit is black and Portland is white. There would be trouble in Los Angeles, too. After the verdict in the Rodney King beating case, just as many Hispanics as blacks rioted. Would an all-white population behave exactly like the Japanese? There might be a bit of looting and profiteering, but not much. Most whites would help their neighbors, stand in line, wait their turn. And they would probably deal harshly with looters. Before they accepted millions of non-white immigrants, Northern Europeans would have behaved much like the Japanese. Swedes, Scots, Dutchmen, Germans, Danes—wherever they are still undiluted by immigrants they can be counted on to show courage, restraint, and dignity. But again, these peoples are exceptions. They are exceptions for reasons that are largely genetic but also cultural. Whites and north Asians have high average IQs, but also what could be called an “average personality” that is less psychopathic, more disciplined, more public spirited. We see this in every aspect of the societies they build, not just in how they respond to tragedy. Their societies have little crime, illegitimacy, littering, or graffiti. They have high levels of public order, trust, and courtesy. Only a few populations are capable of building such societies, and they are vastly superior to all others. That, of course, is why so many people from failed societies want to immigrate, but when they come in sufficient numbers they destroy what they came to find. Things would have been far different in Japan if the country had admitted large numbers of, say, Malays or Pakistanis. So far, Japan has wisely limited Third-World immigration, and can face a catastrophe with the conviction that all Japanese are united both in suffering and in the struggle to rebuild. Japan is far better prepared to face calamity than America or Europe because Japan has had the wisdom to remain Japanese.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Ben Franklin
The Japanese when they invaded China and the Phillipines looted, raped, and murdered with great abandon and ferocity. The WHITE European invaders during the Crusades looted, raped, and murdered with great abandon and ferocity. Ditto the WHITE Russian Army when they entered Germany at the end of WWII. My Lai was not committed by black only soldiers. Blacks didn't drop the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. More self serving narrow minded ignorant balderash. Asians and some whites have traditions of pushing education. The educated are more literate and so score higher on most I.Q. tests as the ability to comprehend the questions asked quickly, and completely, increases dramatically when adjusted for literacy level. Based on the I.Q. Tests used by the U.S. Military at the onset and through WWII WHITE kids from rural areas, with few exceptions, scored very low - often in the imbecile range. Why? They used a different vocabulary than that of city kids which the tests were biased in favor of both in terms of vocabulary and experience (the questions often gave urban examples for the questions which was foreign to the country kids' experience). The stupidity of most racist rants is a recommendation for doubting the I.Q. of most such writers.
It should say most Japanese don't loot, of course there are some who do, you just aren't hearing about it.

One really hot night in Madison, Wisconsin, about the time I was born, before air conditioning was widespread, lots of white people left their homes and apartments near the capitol building and slept on the capital lawn. No police presence. None required. No litter.
If the Jews are bloodsuckers, anti-racism is the anti-coagulant.
Not it shouldn't, because it SHOULD go without saying. Your assertion sounds pedantic. What it REALLY is, is squishy and squeamish.

You racist!! Black folk CAN gather without fighting and littering.......I don't know where, but I just know that they can!!! That's it, I'm calling Rachel Maddow AND Chris Matthews, they'll have something to say 'bout all this *peaceful white gathering* nonsense.....
__________________________________________________________ More Turtle droppings. Should it also go without saying that there are intelligent blacks? Come on, few like blanket statements about race. Words mean something, and blanket statements on race are usually wrong.

I would say it goes for all racist rants.

Many Koreans till this day have still not forgiven the Japanese for their war crimes.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! During the non-violent protests in Egypt, people were sharing food and some were going throughout the crowds and along the curbs to collect garbage. It seems that the civility of a culture largely depends on how long that culture has been civilized!
I want either less corruption or more opportunity to participate in it. Ashleigh Brilliant
Many Koreans till this day have still not forgiven the Japanese for their war crimes. Nor have the Phillipinos. My father was a Marine Scout-Sniper in the South Pacific and he operated behind Japanese lines with the Phillipino Resistance. After what the Japanese had done they simply would not take prisoners. Oh, and the Japanese grew to fear them because the jungle was their home and a Japanese on Sentry was increasingly subject to receiving a "second smile".
