One of his main reasons is because not everyone will suck up someone. He feels that everyone picks and chooses. Chaundry states that its a racial hierarchy. Anglos squarely are at the to p.(159) The Anglos determine who is hot and who is not. One of his arguments is about Asians. Asians just dont cut the list, states Chaundry.
