* Whites like Del Toro sit as a thin film at the top of Mexican society, much as Jews do in the US. In both cases, the .7-1.0 SD difference in IQ at the group level leads to several orders of magnitude of outsized influence.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s La Griffe\u2019s smart-fraction theory through the lens of ethnic networking.<\/p>\n

Del Toro the individual, who would be a despised conquistador in Chiapas, is a typical Hollywood\/Manhattan courtier peddling crap that he knows will receive support and acclaim from the Ministry of Information.<\/p>\n

* Bottom line, \u2018the fringes\u2019 are really the centers of power. They are the ones who cannot be criticized in any way, are the defacto Aristocracy, and do most of the censoring and controlling of society\u2019s boundaries.<\/p>\n

* Del Toro is one of those people, like James Whale, Tim Burton and David Cronenberg, who have a gift for design, but aren\u2019t terribly good at storytelling.<\/p>\n

The visual style can fool you into thinking there\u2019s going to be a good film but it just doesn\u2019t work out that way.<\/p>\n

He also seems to have a fetish for inserting his own Manichean politics into his projects. Of course both Pan\u2019s Labyrinth and Devil\u2019s Backbone featured Francoists as the baddies.

* Remember Mohamed Noor, the Minneapolis policeman who for unknown reasons shot and killed a nice Australian tourist when she tried to say something to his partner? Turns out he was hired after the city drastically lowered their standards for psychological screening in the name of diversity. Welp, turns out that those lowered standards are still keeping out too many vibrant applicants, so they are being lowered even further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
