Tiger Mom Amy Chua Accused of Racism

Not much adoration was given to author Amy Chua after publishing her new book 'The Triple Package' which gives us a glimpse of a hot idea for achievement in contemporary America.

Many may already recognize her sudden unsavory reputation in 2011 as the hardnosed 'Tiger Mom' - making it no secret that Chinese mothers are better parents and in the long run produce children that are way more successful than the average American child.

Recently, Twitter blew up with negative criticism against, Amy Chau, 51, due to her new heated theory that there are some religions and races that are shall we say, a cut above the rest.

One thing for sure, Twitter is not shy in their criticism, labelled ' Full-blown eugenics-pushing racist' by one commentor, another spared her no niceties called her a 'basic racist!'

Another comment was more cautious alleging that the '1920s called and want their theories back.'

Chua does not hide the fact in her published new book, 'The Triple Package' where she co-wrote with her Jewish husband Jed Rubenfeld, that the Chinese unsurprisingly are the cream of the crop out of eight groupings that are considered to be brilliant.

The other seven in no certain order are Iranian, Jewish, Lebanese-Americans, Cuban refugees, Indian, Nigerians, and Mormons.

Nevertheless, the husband and wife managed to pinpoint three unique qualities these eight inhabits have that assures them accomplishment over other groups; supremacy, insecurity and instinct control.

According to Chua, these particular groups appear to achieve the American Dream far more than the others - as measured by job rank, income, test scores and things of that nature - is not easy to discuss,' as stated by the authors.

To add fuel to the fire, Chau and her husband do not give the African-Americans ant breaks either. According to the writers, African-Americans don't make the list for the reason that the Civil Rights Movement ruined their possibility of any power.

It appears for most Americans, the book is not an easy pill to swallow, however, Chau and her husband insist that they mean well and that there the argument of their book 'is the assurance of a day when there are no longer any prosperous groups in America - just up-and-coming people.'
