On Being Chinese in Rushton’s World:

     Dear Diary, 
     
    
   
   
    
     ...Life is great at the Univer- 
     
     sity of Rushton Ontario. Rush- 
     
     ton’s admission policy gives pref- 
     
     erence to racially pure Orientals. 
     
     We do not sacrifice academic ex- 
     
     cellence to admissibility. Let’s 
     
     face it: some races are just not 
     
     made for higher education. 
     
    

    
     ..A girl asked me out to- 
     
     day. I said no because I have 
     
     to study for the MCAT; it’s only 
     
     14 months away. My grandfather 
     
     says that I shouldn’t worry about 
     
     girls now because when I get into 
     
     medical school ”chicks will come 
     
     flocking to me.” I mumble to my- 
     
     self: ”Chicks will come flocking to 
     
     me, chicks will come flocking to 
     
     me...” 
     
    

    
     ...tried out for every var- 
     
     sity sport, but didn’t make any. 
     
     Joined the chess club and was 
     
     elected president. 
     
    

    
     ...1 am beginning to discover 
     
     the drawbacks of going to school 
     
     at Rushton. First of all, we don’t 
     
     have very many white or black 
     
     students to bell up our marks. 
     
     Secondly, there are more and 
     
     more minorities at the university; 
     
     for example, half my friggin’ eco- 
     
     nomics class must be Korean or 
     
    
   
   
    
     Japanese. 
     
    
   
   
    
     From A Diary 
     
    
   
   
    
     ...Went out with some white 
     
     guys last Friday night. I had 
     
     one light beer. Luckily my par- 
     
     ents didn’t find out about my lack 
     
     of restraint, but I grounded my- 
     
     self and did all the supplementsry 
     
     problem sets for calculus. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ...-Today, I discovered that I 
     
     have small genitalia. I scratched 
     
     my braod forehead, put on 
     
     some clothes and prepared three 
     
     physics labs. ”Chicks will come 
     
     flocking to me...” 
     
    

    
     ...“I’ve created a program on 
     
     my computer which can calculate 
     
     my marks to date, correlate them 
     
     with previous years’ marks and 
     
     project my final marks for the 
     
     year. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ...Crimes rates are way up 
     
     in our neighbourhood since the 
     
     whites started moving in. Why 
     
     can’t they be more law-abiding 
     
     Orientals? We should bring back 
     
     the dealth penalty. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ...1 woke up late this Sunday 
     
     morning and studied for a few 
     
     hours before breakfast. Took a 
     
     break from studying to read some 
     
     chemistry. 
     
    

    
     ...Lhought about sex as I 
     
     flipped through my biology text- 
     
    
   
   
    
     book. Took a cold shower and did 
     
     physics. ”Chicks will come flock- 
     
     ing to me...” 
     
    

    
     ..-“I found out that my sister, 
     
     the black sheep of the family, is 
     
     going out with a white guy. I’m 
     
     worried about the genetic impli- 
     
     cations for the children. Can you 
     
     get AIDS from your brother-in- 
     
     law? 
     
    

    
     ...Got 98 percent on a Physics 
     
     test last week. Since then, I’ve 
     
     had four nightmares about the 
     
     other two percent. 
     
    

    
     ..Same girl asked me out 
     
     again. I said no because we 
     
     might be having a surprise Cal- 
     
     culus quiz next month. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ..Got an A plus on my biol- 
     
     ogy project. I demonstrated that 
     
     two white rats could run through 
     
     mazes faster than two black rats. 
     
     My results were published and I 
     
     won a scholarship from the Pio- 
     
     neer Foundation. | 
     
    

    
     ...Haven’t thought about sex 
     
     for five weeks now. Five weeks 
     
     ahead in Physics. Going through 
     
     chemistry notes for the third 
     
     time. Only 108 days left until 
     
     final exams. “Chicks will come 
     
     flocking to me...”

     LONDON, Ont. —- The stu- 
     
     dents’ faces were painted half 
     
    
   
   
    
     in white and half in black and, | 
     
    
   
   
    
     as they circled outside the au- 
     
     ditorium, shouting and waving 
     
     placards, police officers swarmed 
     
     around all over the area. 
     
    

    
     On the evening of Feb. 8, 
     
     there were 200 demonstrators, 15 
     
     police officers, 100 journalists and 
     
     an audience of 2,000 present at 
     
    
   
   
    
     this auditorium at the campus 
     
     of the University of Western On- 
     
    
   
   
    
     tario. 
     
    

    
     The event: a public debate 
     
     between David Suzuki, renowned 
     
     geneticist and science educa- 
     
     tor, and J. Philippe Rushton, 
     
     the Western psychology professor 
     
    
   
   
    
     who, in a span of two weeks, had | 
     
     become Canada’s most controver-_ 
     
    
   
   
    
     sial academic. 
     
    
   
   
    
     While achieving his notoriety, 
     
     Rushton has been placated by 
     
     many of his fellow university pro- 
     
     fessors for his views linking race 
     
     to intelligence and his beliefs that 
     
     blacks have smaller brains, are 
     
     more promiscuous and show less 
     
     criminal restraint than Orientals 
     
     and whites. 
     
    

    
     Rarely mentioned, however, is 
     
     that for at least four years, some 
     
     of Rushton’s work has been paid 
     
     by a right-wing American foun- 
     
     dation which finances studies on 
     
     “racial betterment.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     Presenting a 13-page paper ti- 
     
     tled “Evolutionary Biology and 
     
     Heritable Traits,” Rushton told 
     
     100 delegates at a session of the 
     
     conference that “Mongoloids,” 
     
     having evolved later than “Cau- 
     
     casoids” and “Negroids,” have 
     
     larger brain and scored higher in 
     
     intelligence tests. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Among traits used by Rush- . 
     
    
   
   
    
     ton to show that Orientals are 
     
     more sexually restrained are the 
     
     frequency of marital and pre- 
     
    
   
   
    
     marital intercourse, the size of
