    And now we have another national security threat. Reuters is reporting Pelosi’s laptop was stolen during the insurrection at the Capitol.

    comparing people who have endured 250+ years of racism's frustration to people who feel "voiceless" b/c the media has mistreated Trump for 4 years? Yeah, let's tear up the constitution b/c it hurt Trump's feelings.

    Disregard my “hope” post above.
    You are clearly, deeply blind to the truth.

    So one of the MAGA rioters who died is dead because he tased himself in the balls with his own taser while trying to steal a painting from the Capitol. :emoji_joy:

    I'm not going to get into the rest of it because I know it isn't going to go anywhere. But this is actually easy to explain. It's because of the characteristics of the Asian immigrants (and the workings of our immigration system). Asians are more educated. And Asian immigrants have overwhelmingly been better educated than immigrants of other races. It's because so many have immigrated to America as skilled, educated labor.

    That means the first-generation Asian immigrants are typically educated and in relatively high-paying jobs. And it also means that the second- and third-generation had parents and grandparents who were educated and successful. In my family, myself and my siblings each have advanced degrees. That isn't surprising because my parents, my grandparents, and even my great-grandparents were/are all very educated people.

    If you actually break up Asians into different ethnicities and look at how the various ethnicities tended to immigrate to the United States, you'll quickly see why your understanding of this issue is flawed. For example, people of the Hmong ethnicity are some of the most impoverished in the country. Unsurprisingly, they didn't immigrate here as skilled, educated labor. They immigrated as refugees.

    You mean disparities between various ethnicities and races can be explained by things other than racism and bigotry?

    Yep, and only 6 days into the year. Everyone else who dies this year because they did something really stupid is playing for 2nd place.

    That is still keeping it all about Trump. Which is my point.

    I had heard someone being interviewed on CNN that if we think that there were NO Russian operatives in the group, we're fooling ourselves. Now that could sound conspiratory, but they have been planning this for some time online - Parler etc. Think the Russians were listening?
