<p>Oy. Is that the state of humanism in Europe? Racist apologetics?</p>

Singapore obtained independence so the Malay had the majority of the<br>
population in Malaysia and the Chinese in Singapore.<br>
<br>
By the way, the "quality" of people is determinate by the people asking<br>
them to work. For example, Chinese enterprises working in Algeria bring<br>
their entire workforce with them. They rarely use local workforce. Could<br>
this be linked to their productivity?<br>
<br>
The same is true for businessmen opening factories in China. They<br>
started in China before they started in the Middle East. Usually the<br>
order of investment is from the most rewarding to the least rewarding.<br>
And the manpower quality is surely a factor (but not the only one).<br>
<br>
For what I know, a little, factory owner in North Africa prefer a female<br>
workforce when possible, because the males are slackers. IQ, culture,<br>
whatever. Don't matter. At the end they are less productive than Chinese.<br>
<br>
In Europe, for example, the number of Chinese supported by the welfare<br>
is small (I really never heard of one), where the number of Middle<br>
Eastern is disproportionated to their effective number.<br>
<br>
Do you think Italians or Europeans are racists with Middle Easterns,<br>
Roma or Africans but not with Chinese and East Asians?<br>

If you are a Muslim inside a tribe in Libya, it is difficult you have a<br>
Confucian or Calvinistic work ethic. If you have, you are a misfit.<br>
