Comment Re:Are only black people "diverse"? (Score 1) 514

Google is probably not an accurate representation of that employment market considering that it seems to me to be exactly the company that would make deliberate attempts to hire for diversity.

Anyway. While the amount of whites seems fairly accurately representative of america as a whole, the proportions of non-whites is interesting.

White (72%)
African American (12%)
Asian American (5%)

Asians are grossly overrepresented and african americans are very underrepresented.

That seems fairly accurate.

If you look at it, christianity seems designed for a society where everyone feels like shit and is oppressed, while priests tell you that everything will be better once you're dead (as long as you made sure not to have fun in this life, then you go to hell)

It seems to be the kind of religion ideally suited for a super authoritarian society.

Comment Re:The problem with the Humanities (Score 1) 264

1: It seems fairly common among humanities students that, unless they also study some "hard science" subject on the side, they are fully aware of their own weakness in those subjects and do their utmost to avoid having to come close to them.

2: It seems fairly endemic among STEM students that they believe that all humanities stuff is useless garbage that matters to nobody and that everything can be solved by "logic".

3: Evil and destructive ideas? What?
