I don't think that "severe discrimination" even compares to the regular subtle discrimination faced by most non-white Americans (and Europeans), and that's part of why it's still in place in the US. I'm glad for you that you have the option to choose a place that supposedly discriminates against your child less.

I hold a different belief - it is that the liberal faction in our society - while virtuous along some dimensions - has promoted economic and racial policy which has contributed to the worsening of race relations and made life worse for the black and white working class.

The disintegration of black, and then white social organization at the lower class levels can be tracked - I believe if there existed a revival of tacit knowledge, the trades then the society would be more prosperous and less divided than it is now.

Some of us on the left and right see eye to eye on this and the moderates are the ones who are delusional. The middle class concentration on information processing has damaged the society and their faction does not acknowledge negative results from knowledge. This is not anti-intellectual - the residents in HN must respect the note that every major stagnation in history is accompanied by the formalization of education and society. You all know it is true of computer code - beset by legacy issues.

That is why I take projects like Urbit seriously.

Where's your data supporting this claim?

He demands, as entire sectors of academia creak above his head, threatening to crash down and dash him against a floor on which the phrase, "reverse racism," is painted in 12-point font between two 200-point quotation marks.

Yes it does.

Everyone gets discriminated against and stereotyped in subtle manners. All that varies is what way people are stereotyped.

Even in the USA, the people called "white" aren't considered the pinacle in every area.

(Also, if you want to see real discrimination try being of Chinese descent in Malaysia)
