... that "Please educate yourself" thing
Do you really think that sheeples are capable of educating themselves??
The fact is that they remain sheeples because they
1. They are not willing to change
2. They are satisfied with what / who they are
3. They do need some kind of 'leaders' to lead them
4. Their lives would be empty if they do not regurgitate whatever their 'leaders' told them
Where I was from it was 100% Asians
Where I am now it's a mix
Where I was in the HS it was 80% Blacks, less than 2% Asians
But when I get to the U the ones who can compete against me are the Whites
So don't gimme that " 95% Asian / 4.9% Caucasian " thing. You know it ain't true
It might probably be in the ratio of 30% Asian / 68% Caucasian / 2% others, but if that is what it is, I say let it be
They do not under perform because of race. They under perform because the schools are crap, they don't get funding, can't get new school books, can't get good teachers (well they get some, but not a uniformly higher level)
I just have to laugh when reading the crap that you have written!
I came from China, and when I landed on the US soil, I actually went to Chinatown to work (kitchen helper) because I was practically penny-LESS at that time
I did not go to school for at least 8 months and when I did, I went to a public school where the blacks were like 80% of the school population
Don't you tell me about broken school, lack of new books and all those shits, I have been through all that
And yet, I went to college on my own (without any help from anybody) and from there I move up my career ladder
Do I have to tell you that I didn't speak one word of English (nor understand anything) when I arrived at the US of A?
I just have to laugh at you guys regurgitating the same old SHIT every single time when AA has been questioned --- if an Asian kid like me could move up, why can't the Blacks/Hispanics?
And no, I didn't have my "tiger mom" with me --- I came to USA by my own, as a refugee, my family was still in China at that time
Affirmative Action's original intent seeks to cease historical racism and racists/sexists from claiming that people of color or sex cannot attend a legal institution
Fuck you!
I am an Asian American and I will tell you to stuff that goddamn 'historical racist/sexist' excuse back where the sun never shines
I never need any affirmative action to get to where I am
I never applied for any aid, and never receive any either
And in academic study I never get - and never even thought of getting - any break just because I am a "minority"
I do not believe in the bullshit that because of some 'historical event' I am in any way 'disadvantaged'
And I will say the same "Fuck You!" to those who say that "Affirmative Action" is still needed

That said, regarding the TFA, I do not know why they complaint about the 140 point above the White thing when the fact is that the Hispanic and the Blacks are being enrolled into ivy league colleges (and all other colleges as well) with really, and I mean, unbelievably low scores!
What they are doing is that they are forcing the talented individuals to share the same class with idiots, they are actually discriminating against those with genuine talents
I dunno man
When will America grow up?
In Japan, in Korea, in China they do not have AA --- and their economies are growing leaps and bounds and everybody can attest to their technological achievements
America should get rid of this fucked up AA thing, or else we can never catch up to those living in East Asia
The guy is asking for a job which is offshore proof, and you guys go off tangent talking about cost of offshoring to five-eye countries
Anyway, the one and only way to ensure that what you do does not and will never go offshore is to create that career for yourself
You can never rely on somebody else
So, pick a field, a field which you know you are very capable in, and start your own business in that field
And since it's YOUR OWN BUSINESS, you, as the boss, get to have the final say on whether you gonna offshore the operation of your own company, or not
In order to trade off some of A to get some of B, you have to actually get some of B. In this case, we've given a lot of A and gotten nothing for it
I have read many comments here and what you have said is so very true I just need to add to what you have written
I came from China
I left China back in the early 1970's, way back when the entire Chinese society was in a turmoil, where nobody can live in peace because the social contract between the government and the people had broken down
A political struggle at the top echelon resulted in a power-struggle at every level, and power grab was everywhere
Anyway, people at large in China had no say --- they kept on losing their liberty, their livelihood, even their lives, --- with some driven into madness and many simply committed suicide since they couldn't take it anymore
To put it in simple terms, to the average Chinese citizens, what they had gone through in between the late 1950's and the early 1970's was that everything they had was taken away, just like that
Now that I am an American, I am alarmed at the current development within the United States of America
The people in the USA will be facing the same thing the people in China faced, if nothing is being done to stop TPTB
What happened back in China was that there was no one who could stop Mao. Zhou En Lai tried his best to slow Mao's incessant hunger for power but he just couldn't muster enough strength to halt Mao in his track. All Zhou could do was to do patchworks here and there
Even Zhou suffered greatly during the social turmoil. His own daughter was brutally slaughtered by Jiang Qin, that feisty wife of Mao, and even with his own daughter slaughtered, Zhou couldn't do anything
The experience from China should be a lesson to the Americans
And if the Americans don't do something now --- frankly, even now, it may be too late --- they and their children will eventually be facing a similar fate the Chinese faced some 50 years ago
I certainly don't wish that to America, my adopted country, but I am afraid that too many of the Americans are way too brainwashed to be able to comprehend what is going on and what is going to come
When it's your job to catch bad guys, everyone starts looking like a bad guy
Anyone who follows the above approach ain't not going to catch many crooks
You simply do not catch crooks by hammering everybody and their dogs
Top crime investigators throughout history don't treat everybody like criminal. Instead, they put themselves in the shoes of the criminals so that they can get to see what the criminals see, think what the criminals think, and understand what the criminals gonna do next
And in the case of this so-called 'chief' of FBI, all I can say that under his tutelage FBI ain't going to achieve anything meaningful
If you guys want to have your own Islamic State in Saudi Arabia, nobody cares
You guys can take down the House of Saud
You guys can turn Mecca into whatever you want
Nobody cares
But no, you guys want to have your "Islamic State" in places where Islam is not the original religion --- In Northern Iraq and in Syria there were Christians and the Yazidis living there even before you goddamn pedophilic Mohammad was born --- and you guys attempt to build your so-called "Islamic State" by murdering the Christians, the Kurds, the Yazidis
Go back to your Saudi Arabia and do whatever fuck you want --- and stop meddling with other people's religion and stop slaughtering other people just because they do not agree with your version of Islam
... everyone suffers
That's the price all of us have to pay when we, the majority, cannot and/or dare not to, control the action of the few
No matter if it's USA or France of Belgium or the Netherlands or Germany, as long as our society can not (and/or dare not to) confront those Islamists and get them to ditch their barbaric behavior, all of us will suffer
You guys saw what happened in Garland Texas just days before
You guys saw the length the government of Germany has to go --- including canceling at least two public events --- just to prevent the events becoming a bloodbath by the hands of the Islamists
And that's not all
As long as we, the majority refuse to, or are too afraid of confronting them Islamists straight on, TPTB will formulate stuffs like the Patriot Act, NSA, and whatnots, in the name of 'tackling Islamic Terrorism', and at the end of the day, it is US, the non-Islamists, lost the most
If them Islamists want to live in the West, they better behave like the Western people do
I am not born in the States, I am from China. But as long as I am staying in the United States of America, I respect the society, the people, and the culture of America --- even though I may not see eye-to-eye with everything that they do
If the Islamists insist on behaving like animals they can go back to where they came from --- they get to do whatever they like in the wide sand fields of Saudi Arabia, I don't care
I am sick and tired of them Islamists --- they create trouble EVERYWHERE
Not only in the United States, Europe, they also make troubles in Australia, in Russia, in Thailand, in Kenya, in China, in Nigeria, and so on, and so forth
The world at large has been very tolerant with them, but there is a limit to everything
