The Self-Imposed Glass Ceiling of Asians

Isn't it odd that a writer who was an associate editorial director of an investment firm, High Net Worth Inc., and assistant managing editor of a financial paper, Crain's Investment News, should be "executive editor and owner" of a fluff magazine like The Improper?

Chang also holds a law degree from Temple University.

I saw her on some "celebrity" segment on television, and was wondering what a Chinese woman sees in reporting on beautiful white film stars.

In fact, she was "reporting" on the beautiful Julianne Hough, who is a professional ballroom dancer and the star of the popular television dance competition show, Dancing With the Stars. Chang dug deep into Hough's childhood, and asked her ugly questions about Hough's recent, reluctant, revelation that she was "abused" as a young girl and teen-ager. Hough came from an ambitious dance family, and she spent many years in England with a "host" family studying dance, away from her own family. Apparently it was the ballroom instructors who took advantage of this girl/woman (as Hough says, ballroom dance competition requires very revealing clothes, and has very sensual moves, even of eight-year-old girls).

But, Hough recovered and is now a celebrity, living as "normal" a life as she can, engaged to American Idol's unassuming host Ryan Seacrest. She is well-known for her elegant dancing and superior choreography on Dancing With the Stars, along with her brother Derrick Hough, whom I've compared to Fred Astaire.


Chang seemed to relish pulling this "abuse" story out of Hough, as though tarnishing this beautiful white woman was her objective. It looks like Asian Woman Envy of White Women, to me.

So I was right to wonder about Chang's odd career trajectory.

Like all the high profile Asian/Chinese I've studied, I find that they drop a high level, high skill career either to lower their standards within that discipline, or to change it radically.

For example, Vera Wang is known as a weddind dress designer. All serious wedding dress designers from Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, to Amsale Aberra hardly deviate from this difficult and exacting field, and in fact work hard at excellence and innovation within that discipline.

Wang tries something - red wedding dresses, for example - then changes her mind and makes black dresses (who buys red and black wedding dresses? - which shows her inability to read her clientele). She then deviates completely from that and goes into mediocre (poorly styled, poorly assembled) ready-to-wear clothing, then perfume (her two endeavors are not selling, nor making her a household "perfume" name), then household items like dishes and table cloths (with basic, unimaginative designs), etc., etc.

I've wondered why this is in numerous blogs I've written about her (look under the heading "fashion" to find more blog articles), and the only conclusion I've come to is that she reaches a plateau and cannot go higher up in creativity or even in production. It seems as though she reaches some kind of ceiling.

I've observed this about Asians in general. There is some level of brilliance which they demonstrate, and then suddenly, they...STOP.

Chang is just another variation of this truncation. She was clearly well-versed in finance and investment reporting, then she gave that up and started some Hollywood trash magazine.

I wonder when whites, who are going through an infatuation period with Asians, will begin to realize that their (our) culture is slowly getting eroded because of that, and being replaced by something inferior?

Asians are also beginning to use the "racist" and "prejudiced" argument in many occasions, which is a way of getting what they feel they are owed without working for it. So, together with lowered excellence, we are getting entitlement-greedy, race-baiting, Asians.

Chang filed a suite in 2003 suing Billboard for:

$30 million in damages under New York law for gender- and race-based discrimination and defamation, among other charges, from a group of defendants that include Billboard parent VNU and the publication's publisher, John Kilcullen, and executive editor, Ken Schlager

Part of her complaint was that:

...employees began chirping that "[Billboard Editor & Publisher Keith] Girard had hired Chang to work at Billboard because Chang was his paramour, rather than for her professional skills and ability to make a valuable professional contribution to Billboard."

I wonder where they got that rumor from?

I tried to find out more on Chang's personal life, if she was yet another one of those Asians (East Asians) who is married to a white man, with half Asian children, but couldn't find anything. Perhaps she had put all her stakes in getting Girard, but he wouldn't have any of it. Savvy co-workers clued in though.

Now, here's an interesting piece of news, the Improper, which Chang co-owns and runs as the Executive Editor, has Keith Girard as Editor and Publisher [Source here].

A cosy conclusion to all that suing, I would say.

Still, I wonder when whites, men and the abandoned women, will begin to catch on this slow but sure erosion of their race, and of their nations.
