Documentary: Hong Kong: The strong contrast between Mother Nature and the Metropolis

Here is a video documentary about the life in Hong Kong now, decades after the British ceded the territory back to China.  Based on what I've heard from travelers, and workers to the region alike generally speaking I've mostly heard praise for the autonomous region in terms of layout, architecture, amenities, great views, etc.  It has a fantastic skyline with very tall skyscrapers.

The quality of life, and the manners, and customs of the people are much better than they are on the mainland.  Because Hong Kong has had a selective immigration policy, as well as strong competition for jobs, etc., this probably has had a eugenic effect on the population giving Hong Kong the highest average national IQ of any nation at around 108, according to Richard Lynn, though perhaps it's better to look at it like an autonomous province, which will soon become "fully integrated with China".

Somewhat of an aside regarding East Asia, and East Asians:

As far as East Asians are concerned based on my experiences, and travels in East Asia, I tend NOT to like Koreans, and think Korea is a miserable place.  Mainland China while vast and containing many marvelous things to see and do, is generally not a nice place to live.  I am more ambivalent about the Chinese, the population is large and varied, but they suffer from many of the same vices as Koreans, or so I've heard.  I have a positive image of the Japanese, in terms, of politeness, friendliness, honesty, the quality of life in Japan, the mindset, and the aesthetics.  The Japanese have less brachycephalic skulls, a tendency for thinner longer noses, and have brown eyes, instead of black.  I think they tend to look better.  In East Asia the really good countries are Japan, Hong Kong, and Macao (with the latter being a part of China) in the Northeastern part, and Singapore in the Southeastern part.  As far as travel is concerned in Southeast Asia the poorer countries is where you get more bang for your buck, but I'll cover that in another post.

Back to video:

In the video they discuss food, then at the 15 minute mark religion, then burial at about the 16 minute mark.  At the 19 minute mark pets are discussed. 20 minute mark is the large island nature reserve. More later... It's kind of slow pace, but if you're curious about one of the best, and most successful East Asian places in the world you may want to watch it.

  13 Fascinating Scientific Facts About Blue Eyes Story by Amanda Gardner  •  2w   Like most human traits, blue eyes are determined by genes, and no two people have exactly the same hue. It works a lot like individual  fingerprints , making our eyes two of the most distinctive parts of us. The color of your eyes is really the color of your iris, the ring that surrounds the black pupil in the middle of your eye. Unlike some other  inherited traits  (like the color of your hair), eye color typically doesn’t change naturally throughout your life. Sure, it can appear to vary depending on the external light source, but the pigment shouldn’t fluctuate (if your eyes do seem to change color, see a specialist). But your eyes aren’t just a pretty feature of your face. They can provide surprising insight into your personality, health status and where you came from in the big story of human history. We talked to three expertsdoctors and researchers with a deep und...

What happens on America's Subways - Wild Assaults and Murders - Typically Featuring one Demographic

 There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people.  An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day.  How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...

Site Aims and Rules

Raceology . n. " A scientific analysis of racial differences."  William Shockley Hello, and welcome. The purpose of this site is to explore racial science, race realism, race relations, and ethnography. Unfortunately these issues are shunned by both the mainstream media, and academia, and too often when controversial perspectives are presented they are done so from a supremacist, or extremely distorted and not a  race realist  perspective.  This site aims to present a factual, and fair representation of races, and race differences, though obviously based on the idea that not all groups are equal in their abilities, and not all societies are equal in terms of fairness, and liveability, what is said of some races, ethnicities, and societies and countries may be less flattering than what is said of others. I will try to keep everything presented based either on factual well-researched data, unless it is an opinion piece which may be composed more of anecdotal...
