We are all aware of the meme that Asians have high IQs. In my experience, this is at least true insofar as they are more tolerable than blacks, spics, and sandniggers. I grew up in a suburb of LA that has the highest demographic of 1st and 2nd generation East Asian americans in the country, went to primary/secondary school with a ton of Asians, and pursued STEM in college, so I've had casual and friendly relationships with asians. I have even dated 2 asian girls and gotten to know their families over the course of the relationships. So my question arises not out of a state of ignorance, but of discomfort with the implications of my own observations.
Why is it that in my entire life I've not met a single Asian who possesses the irreducibly complex inner reality referred to as a human soul? I have not associated with Asians personally since my university days (when I came to this realization) because I can't find in any of them any of the aspects that I'm looking for in a fruitful adult friendship. Asians don't seem to cultivate personal identity or knowledge of arts/philosophy of their own volition, nor do they seem to experience life with the same sense of self-important individualism that embodies the best aspects of western society. I can see that they have somewhat of a drive toward achievment in life, and that they abide by at least some simulacrum of morality, and yet literally NONE of the hundreds of asians that I've met in my life have seemed to have that "spark" of personality seems essentially commonplace in white people.
Why is this so? If Asians have high IQ why do the vast majority of them come off as boring/intellectually empty/milquetoast retards?
There are aspects to human personality that are so complex as to warrant use of hand-wavey words like "soul" in order even to refer to such a phenomenon in a conversation. I'm obviously not talking about a freefloating, supernatural Abrahamic ghost.

I'm not referring to emotional intelligence, I'm referring to the degree of complexity of one's inner reality. Asians live in high-context culture so the context within themselves is low, I guess that's the answer to the thread without anyone having to tell me so

Asians are communal.
I guess the question is, do they have no "souls" because their communal culture wipes that from them, or are they communal because they are genetically inclined to not have "souls" . Because i tend to agree with you OP. I live in sydney and go to uni and there are tons of asians, yet they dont always seem to have individuality

Christian individualism is literally the corner stone of western philosophy.
Let me give you an example of what I was talking about from my own life.

I could list a bunch of stories like this of asians group-pressuring eachother through bullying and derision into conformism that literally makes the lives of everyone worse.

I think it's mostly based on their culture. Most of Asia, particularly China, is based on being very smart so you can get into a narrow "successful" field. Asian parents usually push their kids to be doctors or lawyers: respectable positions, but really not something that is really going to stand out or make you a ton of money or be too hard to get if you try. Because of this, they never actually have to try and shoot for the stars or come up with things, so they never develop that side (though I think some do really late in life when they are free of parental pressure and see how boring their lives are).
I've met some pretty "sparky" Asian people, but usually the ones with weird sort of kooky parents or people who rebelled hard. I think that sort of individuality that we see in the West requires a healthy level of rebellion that most Asians don't have.
Charles Wright
>Asian Americans Found your problem.
Carter Kelly
The answer is simple.
The well being of their families and society takes precedence for East asians in general. We dont speak our true thoughts as they may discomfort our peers and loved ones.
You white people mostly just care about yourself. You can hence say whatever shit or indulge in whatever shit without a care on how it affects your surroundings. Theres a reason why toxic insensitive/invasive ideologies like feminism proliferate so easily in the west. You can also see such similar differences between you and eastern europeans and how they act.
We act this way not because we lack a soul. It's simply because we care for people more than you. Period.
Gabriel Kelly
You might be onto something here as I have only ever known Asian Americans, and the few FOB asians that I've known had a somewhat different demeanor to them.
Henry Diaz
>whites >the majority whom listen to nigger music and dress like trash
you ever heard of a place called "South Korea"?
Hudson White
Of course you're not going to see any bubbly Asians, not being noticed is a good thing, you risk being bullied or ostracised for being too showy, especially in America. Our looks and height is already ridiculed, can you imagine us trying to be a speshul snowflake? Just be glad Asians aren't something interesting to talk about, you Americans have so much more to worry than Asians.
Yes, it is where all the extremely cute girl groups come from. You know, the ones who are very feminine and sweet.

Ryder Gomez
To be quite frankly honest, I do feel the individuality of Japanese(I don't know about other Asians) in general are suppressed when we are in a group, as we are quite group oriented. It doesn't mean we all lack unique personality. Especially when you socialized with us one on one, you realize there are so many interesting ppl here.
Nathaniel Davis

Their culture is garbage and revolves entirely around materialism and consumerism. At least America still has old christian values in the rural parts. Stop basing your opinions on your fetishes, you degenerate.
Chase Gray
they are ethnocentric, it's literally that. Blacks and hispanics has been living in the united states since it's conception, they are more likely interact with local Americans compared than the asians who only came en masse since the 1965. They have memes and culture, just not shared.

Jaxon Wood
This pretty much.
>whites dump and abandon their parents in their old age, who make up majority of nursing/retirement homes. >MUH WHITE SOUL
rofl, the amount of disgusting narcissism parading itself as some sort of enlightened individualism in OP is astonishing.
Asians have hundred times more care for their families and communities than your average white. Sure this might bleed into supporting shitty collectivist expansion of government but to say we lack souls when most of you dump your parents in nursing homes and rarely interact with your families is fuckin laughable.
Nolan Hill
I thought that's the word burgers use because they are too stupid to differentiate Asian countries.

Anthony Martinez

Blake Jackson
You know, this might have a lot to do with it. Most of my negative experiences with Asian-american consensus reality has had to do with groups of asians enacting some counterculture borderline racist terrorism against what they (I can only assume) see as quaintness/ignorance of white culture. It's pretty laughable when you see it in context but also somewhat sad, as second and even third generation Asian-americans do not typically break free of this tendency
David Young
It's a Census category. It's actually a combination of Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Indians, Vietnamese, etc.

Honestly though, the Sinosphere hasn't given birth to a truly original philosophy in two fucking millenniums. While the West has Kant, Hobbes, Descartes, Locke and other giants; the East is still repeating the same old shit from the Spring and Autumn, and Warring States periods. Just copy&paste. Truly a disheartening situation.

I would TOTALLY buy into this explanation if it weren't for the fact that all of the Asian-american households that I've become personally acquainted with (and even become a part of) were the most COLD and UNEMOTIONAL wastelands of humanity that I've ever experienced. Both of my asian ex-gfs have crippling emotional problems from being raised by Asian parents in western society.

These people are insane and simply revert to stereotypes thinking they're making some kind of profound argument. It seems to be a common perception that Asians are robotic and "soulless." But obviously Asians have souls as they have a brain just like whites with same components. White supremacists really believe skin color determines whether or not someone is human.

It's a damn shame this thread is filled with so many garbage responses.
Most asians aren't human. They are not fully evolved, therefore you will not find within them the traits that you have come to associate with humanity.
However, that being true, the higher caste east asians at least know not to actively bring down western soceity unlike the other problem minorities that the USA keeps.

Yeah strangely I've noticed that Viets are typically more individualistic than other countries

Since you like taking anecdotes here's 1 for you.
An American was in my platoon, constantly being loud mouthed, blabbing shit and asking stupid questions that was already answered by the sergeant just to make it seem like he exist. Is this what you call muh soul? And btw he was ostracised by almost every guy. Fucking cancer spreading to our national service.
Also there was a fucking cuck Chinese Canadian who got so fucking offended when I said the word nigger as a joke. Thank god for Sup Forums confirming my suspicions.
Jordan Cooper
>same sense of self-important individualism that embodies the best aspects of western society
You mean hipsters who act way too passionate about their juvenile interests? They don't sit around expressing their deeply philosophical ambitions? They dont mull over unanswerable existential questions, as if it is somehow productive, while really only serving to demonstrate their own depth and ego?
I don't see anything wrong with an unpretentious people more focused on community and pragmatic social cohesion, rather than feigning self-importance through epistemological garrulousness.
Joshua Campbell
I'm sorry that he doesn't think you're human. I do.
Carson Nelson
That being said, you will find examples here and there, and mostly in the Japanese population, of Asians with enough non Yayoi admixture as to begin resembling and human and not an insect. This is why many parts of Japanese culture, like Shintoism which was mentioned earlier, resonate so strongly in the West.

Yo dude out of all of my Asian friends I've ever had the Phillipinos are the ones that acted the most like real people. My buddy in highschool's mom was FOB from Phillipines and she was one of the most redpilled/intelligent women I've ever known. I actually post these threads because I hold out some hope for Asians because of Phlip-americans. I don't know anything about what it's like over there though.

Even if you take a look at the genetics chart that was posted earlier, you can see that Japan is very separate from the other Asian countries. I think there is good reason for that. They are probably mixed part Asian part ancient Indo-European or something similar to that. It would explain where Shintoism and Bushido came from as well.
Grayson Allen

Austin Fisher
What you don't understand is just how difficult it is to navigate identity as an immigrant. Yes there is a meme of successful model immigrants, and on the surface that is true, but there are psychological issues and schism that any redpilled, conscious Asians will tell you that exist within the 'Asian' group in the West.
I've been spending my entire 20s dealing and grasping with this issue, and the issue is that you essentially have to juggle 3 different cultures, your parents (country of origin), your whatever-American, and the broader mainstream, 'white' American culture.
The reason why many Asian-Americans can be so psychotic is that they are stuck between hard places. They cannot feel at home no matter how much they try to integrate into the broader white society, and the few that try end up with a self-loathing inferiority complex that bleeds into their personal lives, and inevitably end up without any culture and become socially isolated (whether as individuals or as families).
And this is excluding juggling the damage that being raised by Asian parents have on Asian Americans. Asian parents are not integrated, and work for most part, on their respective parallel Asian cultures that form within the West (China town, K-town, etc etc), so they have no idea what their children are facing when it comes to identity, nor do they have the time and energy to. However, the children are left with Asian values of filial piety and collectivism while being influenced by Western individualism.
So we are essentially given 3 paths:
1. Completely abandon any Western influence and relegate to FOB-like existence for your entire life, even if you were born here.
2. Huddle and stick together with your fellow whatever-Americans and navigate through life. This is what most of us do and this will only give you a sense of security and buffer, but will rarely be an impetus for finding yourself, and being an individual.
