Comment Re: Next Up, Blacks & Hispanics (Score 1) 156

Swapped policies? Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Just because people say it doesn't make it true. All the evidence suggests that as racism became gauche, the elitist Democrats caught up to the Republicans on racism=bad. When the Democrat leadership started virtue signalling to prove they felt white guilt, the core racist wing of the party abandoned it, not because Republicans were racist, but because they weren't constantly talking about racial justice.

Importantly, no the policies of the parties didn't change. The Democrats finally got with the program on Civil Right. The constituencies that had been defined along elitist/non-elitist lines never changed their policies, never swapped parties.

While that's true in theory, the reality is I feel very comfortable competing against offshore workers on a value/$ basis.

This might change over time, but America has been pretty good scooping up the brightest and best from around the world, seriously hamstringing the ability for those markets to develop a really high quality workforce. There are pockets of value to be found, but it's a grueling search.
