Apparently Asians are non-violently antisocial far out of proportion to their IQ and criminality. That might be kind of relevant.

It’s not the before and after of Americanization that is odd. That is probably to be expected if you accept the theory that immigration skims a relative elite from various contries and then the kids revert to the mean and learn antisocial behavior from their peers. The odd thing is the racial distribution of the violent and antisocial behavior. Chinatown should be a lot more scary than it is.

Rates of mental illness of all varieties in the US are one or two orders of higher than anywhere else. A lot of that is overdiagnosis, but the difference is too large to be just that. People who choose to emigrate to a different country are, by definition, weird.

During the famine, Irish clans would get together and, if there wasn’t enough of a harvest to go around, literally vote families off the island and send them to America. The population of the US is descended from people like that. We should expect considerably higher levels of anti-social behavior.
