On Yellow Monkeys

I generally believe yellow monkeys, white monkeys, and diversity hires are all offensive to companies and countries at large. For these reasons I have tried to avoid terminology such as “Gastarbeiter” or “English teacher” when dealing with German-Turkish in Germany and foreign English teachers in the East respectively.

Nevertheless, the existence of ‘yellow monkeys,’ people ethnically of the East but doing performative roles in the West such as “China watcher” deserves some elaboration upon.

There appear to be three distinct types: accidental/naive yellow monkey, the childish yellow monkey, and the overt yellow monkey. We will first characterize these types, denote the differences between male and female types, and give some examples.

The accidental/naive yellow monkey

This person may believe in “fighting for representation” within an existing system rather than living outside of it entirely. Yet, by doing such a thing, they unconsciously acculturate themselves to the norms and means society sets for them. Part of it is informational—they simply are disconnected from ways of being which are more natural to themselves, and part of it is logistical—they may be remote from the production of goods and services which are more natural to themselves.

When Carroll Quigley described societies in his Evolution of Civilizations, one understanding I’ve come to appreciate is that a society is self-referential to itself in the words it uses and conception of things. Therefore, the society they act within is the American mass media culture, and if their conception of things is only within it, they can never in a sense be true leaders outside of it.

The words form a recursive world and understanding to themselves; other words and languages form the boundary to other worlds. It may be easy to imagine that because people can speak the same language and have a degree of mutual intelligibility, they belong to the same world, but that is not the case.

For the most part, I would say they are positive-neutral, although I personally cannot accept some of their ways of being and norms because they are still under a political system which excludes people like me, and because I know myself, I will not happy being in a way that is at odds with myself. The only reason these people can reach a high position is because they do not pose any threat to the political ethno-demographic majority norms of the United States.

I feel bad to group them into the “accidental yellow monkey” category, because they are likely good-natured people. People who seem to me in this category include Simu Liu, Alexandr Wang, George Takai, Eric Yuan.

Alexandr Wang, for example, cuts his hair with the even-length undercut. Moreover, he pronounces ‘Wang’ as rhyming with ‘dang’ instead of ‘palm.’

George Takai, Eric Yuan, or Andrew Yang are more than happy to support whatever corporate LGBTQ or Asian-American initiative the rule-writers set. By doing so, they live within others’ thoughts, methods, and worlds. Simu Liu also plays this role.

The purpose of having these seeming ‘leaders’ is to create a token figurehead to create a mass media identity for the deracinated masses who neither know themselves nor their history.

Those who are more aware and coordinated puppet those who are less aware. By all means, it is not necessarily a bad life from material or social wealth perspective, but it is bad should you value independent thought and living life in accordance with personal strengths and natural tendencies.

Moreover, these people are likely to call someone with my beliefs and values as belligerent, because their instinct will likely be self-preservation of their existing role in society.

The childish yellow monkey

The childish yellow monkey simply lives in a society and does not know whether the things they do and say are right or wrong. Without any sort of self-reflection, they may end up becoming an accidental yellow monkey. Yet if other people discuss things with them and they refuse to change their behavior, they graduate into becoming an overt yellow monkey. Given enough time, they may have time to correct their perceptions.

Researcher and writer David Sun may fall into this category. For example, note his characterization of “subdomain unassertiveness, indirectness, and introversion” which he chalks up to “rice farming and Confucianism.” The promulgation of stereotypes as research makes us all look bad: for text summaries which consider the subject matter deeply, look at Stanford Philosphy’s page on Legalism.

These yellow monkeys keep stuffing beans up everyone’s noses by not moving the dialogue toward a new direction. In fact, I found him to be promoted in reach on X.com.

The overt yellow monkey

These are people such as Gordon Chang or Lucy Guo. Although Gordon, for example, seems fine personality-wise as an individual, and his Story of Belonging is heartwarming, his career stance as “permanent China hawk” rather than political scientist aiming to find the truth is an example of negative Eastern representation in Western media, like many of the aforementioned “yellow monkeys.”

Indeed, he may somewhat realize that playing his role, having someone with ethnic background named “Chang” say that “China is collapsing,” is lucrative. Some have even remarked upon him being a Chinese agent for forestalling any warning of China’s rise. Also, because of generation and career, Gordon Chang is actually more in the “actual American” category than the mass-media society.

Lucy Guo seems to have descended into mental/mass media/progressive illness in this interview. She promotes the stereotype of “Asian parent,” an idea first proposed by Amy Chua. It’s very weird to me because none of the progressive-leftist/mass media stereotypes were anything I experienced growing up: most people were wholesome, kind, and had a good sense of standard American culture. To this day I respect the military as perhaps the last standard bearer of this culture in America.

Though in some ways I feel bad for their origins and circumstances, the minimum bar of learning the language when they had a headstart advantage (note, this does not apply to adoptees) yet choosing not to for whatever unpositive personal character trait may be ascribed to them, makes me feel a tinge not unlike the capitalist who made it themselves looking at the poor for not working hard enough.

Actual Americans

I’d imagine these are people like America’s Test Kitchen’s Lan Lam or Francis Fukuyama—back then there was an actual national identity to assimilate to, and the East was comparatively undeveloped. These people seem calm, confident, and able to work well with this universal American identity which was mostly a Northeastern/academic thing of the older decades.

I probably would’ve been happy in such a situation too, if the Judeo-Bantu internetism-leftism Color Theory didn’t become more prominent during my generation. It’s a shame really, there was a grasp at a non-ethnic American identity for a brief moment in time.

Except now I don’t seriously feel the urge to assimilate somewhere into a large and homogeneous community, though I suppose that was the assumption all of us had until growing up, looking around, and seeing that we were all immigrants. American Whites seem to be balkanizing into the Midwest, rural Maine, East Tennessee, Ozarks, Texas.

I am probably going to live some sort of globalist-internet-coordinator-politics-business type of life as opposed to just chilling somewhere.

I will at some point analyze the Western races and their tendencies—the good ones and the bad ones, but not here since to keep things on topic.

Female and male types

It is largely not possible to discuss the difference between female yellow monkeys and male yellow monkeys without first considering the nature of differences between men, women, and the societies created.

Because women tend to be more socially aware, most accidental yellow monkeys fall into the male type, and more overt yellow monkeys fall into the female type.

Because women have a brain state that causes them to repeat the ideas of men, female specimens who develop the visual aesthetics: Eastern pottery, ways of dressing, photographs in Japan and Korea without learning the language are largely practicing Orientalism.

The failure of the American Left in policy and governance, where their idea of “Asian woman” simply meant “better”, a one-dimensional characterization of people and places like one might imagine “Harvard = better” most pronounced in the major coastal cities, will lead to the repudiation of this character class soon, which is already starting.

Their attempts at rewriting themselves as “East Asian” with Orientalism photos taken in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are also likely to quickly run out of steam. The reunification of Taiwan with the Mainland is a major policy goal of the Chinese government. If you follow the latest geopolitical trends, the United States is unlikely to support its military commitments in the region. Moreover, relationships that are appearance-based rather than value-based are less durable in the long run.

Notions of them propagandizing themselves as “more feminine” are in fact false: the light and airy voice they put on hides the masculine and realist attitudes common in the East in general. Moreover, the terminology of “masculine” and “feminine” itself is confusing for it covers numerous oblique, but not exactly orthogonal or parallel axes. It is women of the South: Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia that possess the most physically “feminine” traits: the swaying of the hips, the deep and rich voices, the tenderness, care, and calmless that women of the East are less able to exhibit.

We will discuss the above phenomena and introduce new vocabulary which more accurately represents reality in another article.

Given this, I believe they have about five to seven/eight years of runway before mainstream awareness of what I said above. After that, they may not even be able to lock in (marry) a yellow monkey, whom they relentlessly despise and propaganize against to (1) try to show affiliation to men in the leading idea-world she wants to join, and (2) reduce the chance that these men will pair off with other women, leaving her with fewer options.

”AsianFoundersClub” Annie Hwang and Phoebe Yao audition for “American white tech bro” idea-world

I don’t believe you become a Thiel Fellow and run a YC company without knowing what you are doing on purpose.

The modern world proves across all ethnicities that the behaviors of men and women though correlated with race are in reality imprecise, and that nobody can be identified solely through their genetic nature, of which great individual variation even among closely related individuals exists. There is an anarchic nature to life that women recognize which drives them to get to the top of any society they so perceive as potentially fitting her tendencies. Women with strong fathers tend to stay closer to a society; men who immigrate to another place are oftentimes naturally weak and not strongly affiliated with their homes.

Because women have a brain state that causes them to repeat the ideas of men they like, as are weak men also prone to mimesis of those deemed as strong as written by Ibn Khaldun in the Muqaddimah, organizations created and headed by women should be viewed with scrutiny. I believe them thus to be unsuitable for any roles which deals with arbiter of what is to be: judge, police, admissions officer, leader, secondary or postsecondary educator. Though they can enforce norms, they cannot really be the boundary the way the strongest men are.

Many women do not really care about the development of higher ideals (note: I do not say none!) so their actions and presentations should be viewed as merely auditioning for a world and husband instead like an animal mating ritual.

It’s sort of like this: in college, you start a club, but you need sponsors. So you try to find people who have more money than you, and you do what you think they believe, except generally you need some tact to not seem so obvious and beholden. Politics, women, same thing.

It’s too bad probably the grand majority of the other men in the group are too socially unaware to see through this.

I recommend the book “A Presentation of Self in Everyday Life” to understand how to analyze things. I would say the grand majority of modern/liberal/city women are realists/shapeshifters. Not all, there are some genuine ones out there.

Designer Phoebe Yu dismisses non-Occident cultures as ‘cheap’ and ‘weird’

I have tallied the counts of adjectives she has used for various countries, listed separated by Occident and Orient.

Is she intending to be a Western supremacist? Probably not unlike the aforementioned examples, she might not realize it. Is she an example of negative Eastern representation in Western media? Yes.

Conclusion

As we can see: being a yellow monkey, white monkey, Uncle Tom, or diversity hire is deadly to one’s sense of self-identity, integrity, independence, respect from other self-determined people, and confidence. Let the aforementioned examples serve as warnings to those who might choose this path and a notice sign to the puppet-masters.
