IS ‘TIGER MOM’ CORRECT OR CRAZY: Author Says Some Races and Religions Are Superior to Others

She gained notoriety in 2011 as the uncompromising ‘Tiger Mom’ – boastful that Chinese mothers make better parents and ultimately have more successful children.

Now though, Amy Chau, 51, has inspired the fury of the public on Twitter with her new controversial theory that some races and religions are just superior to everyone else.

Dubbed ‘simply racist’ by one commentor on Twitter, another pulled no punches and called her a ‘full blown eugenics pushing racist!’

Others were more diplomatic charging that ‘Chau has now begun treading territory uncomfortably close to racism.’

Published in the new book, ‘The Triple Package’, that she has written with her Jewish husband Jed Rubenfeld, Chua names the eight groupings that are exceptional in no particular order – and unsurprisingly, the Chinese are one of the top dogs.

The other seven are Jewish, Indian, Iranian, Lebanese-Americans, Nigerians, Cuban exiles and Mormons.

Clearly one of these groupings is a religion and by calling them ‘cultural’, never ethnic, racial or religious, Chau and her husband seek to avoid the hugely controversial criticism this would bring.

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

‘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,’ the authors write.
