Good News! Nigerians Named Amongst 8 Superior Groups Of People In The US

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.

The couple identify three distinguishing features these eight
peoples have that guarantees them success over others;
superiority, insecurity and impulse control.

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.'
