In general, Americans can name more professional sports stars than politicians

Pro Sports is not just entertainment. It serves a psychological purpose for the masses.

Great. Now give Asian Americans affirmative action in the NBA.

Any mental gymnastics used to support affirmative action in business or schooling should also apply to sports. If I hear someone complaining about lack of representation of X in certain field I will gladly point at NBA and Asian Americans ask them out that.

The reason for choosing new technology on the developers part is for job security. If everything were still php you would have outsourced his job to India ages ago. The fact is that the developers need to do this because of the ding dongs mbas in management.
my suspicion is that the out of Africa theory was promoted since it was more PC. Nowadays the "scientific theories" are all political.

According to the latest national Emerson poll today, Yang is in #4 with 8% support.

The thing with exponential growth is that by the time you realize it, it is too late

Yes - from my experience managing bots, low IQ people and bots are pretty much indistinguishable, if looking purely at user behavior.

How many startup people have actually read “Zero to One” by Peter Thiel?

Yang has gone from 0 to 1 and is going to see exponential growth as Iowa gets closer. All these articles are people who have a distorted views of reality and chalk up his support as bots in order to fit their world view. The most likely reason from my observation is bias against Asian American men in leadership positions.

Re:The Yang Gang and Its Bots on Friday January 24, 2020 @12:37AM (#22135684)
Polls have outdated models that don’t accurately reflect the age of social media. Prior polling models don’t work with the changing environment. For example most the people they poll are in landlines and 65+ yrs old.

Also polls are politicized now.

Re:The Yang Gang and Its Bots on Friday January 24, 2020 @12:34AM (#22135667)
Yang campaign is actually seeing exponential growth. Thus the increase in smear articles.

The establishment is running through mental gymnastic excercise to rationalize these results. Thus them calling all supporters bots

Well since the population of the US also increased, the actual decline would be much more pronounced if population had remained constant.
Who else do you think? Globalists of course.

its a feature not a bug
why would that be wrong? if most people are searching for the truth wouldn't it be better to give them both sides of the issue and have them decide for themselves? Why is Google deciding why that specific Hillary query is taboo? And who gave them that right?

Re:US debt surpasses $23T for first time on Friday November 01, 2019 @06:55PM (#21424572)
Current gov has no interest in paying off debt. All conspiracy theories lead to the elites plundering the existing system and then defaulting. This will lead to the collapse of the USD and a new digital currency will take its place.
Re:US debt surpasses $23T for first time on Friday November 01, 2019 @06:52PM (#21424536)
WW2 where most of Europe was destroyed. Contrary to what mainstream media will say is that a large part of it was Germany unable to pay war reparations from WW1 and entering stages of hyper inflation during Weimar Republic. This of course led to a certain party that was really against international bankers. After the resulting chaos we have Pax Americana.
most likely the power line to the cameras were cut or interfered with. They should both be on the same network and it should not be difficult to disable if knowing about the security system before hand.
That’s why we need to enforce borders.
Just more of a smear against Yang. The establishment is afraid.

Also the tint of anti Asian American racism - similar to SV when the hiring team or management group tries to talk themselves into finding reasons to not like a qualified candidate that does not fit the mold of the obediant Asian worker drone. Usually done insidiously to cast doubt on a person's character etc.

If you mention jury nullification, you most definitely will not be selected to be a juror.

yep - once u factor in the TSA body shakedown and traffic to airport, then it about evens out air travel.
A lot of the data I believe is from the Hillel membership / Jewish org membership numbers.

It is intentionally difficult to find and requires legwork since I believe it is intentionally obfuscated.

The data set and lawsuit excludes international students. This is primarily for asian Americans.
If Harvard did not race balance then every year the race % would be different - there should be enough of all races to pick a class of competent people. Why is it that 1 year a class can’t be primarily black or Asian? Before the lawsuit EVERY year the race ratio was almost exactly the same.

Secondly, why doesn’t Harvard just admit Asian Americans that score poorly to bring the Average down and chalk it up to amazing character?
