ShadySands Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 A Kasich and Hickenlooper unity ticket? Free games updated 3/4/21
Elerond Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) So some races consistently given preference over others isn't institutionalized racism? Setting a quota on how many Asians can be admitted to a university isn't institutionalized racism? What's your evidence of institutionalized racism against other races? You can go here and look at the actual statistics for Harvard: https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/admissions-statistics Those numbers tell that asian americans are over represented in Harvard (22.2% of admitted students compared to 6% of population). African americans representation is about same as their percentage of population (14.6% of admitted students compared to 14% of population). Native American or Pacific Islander have are bit over represented (2.5% of admitted students compared to 0.9% of population). Hispanics or Latinos are under represented (11.6% of admitted students compared to 16.3% of population). Non-hispanic white americans are under represented (49.1% of admitted students compared to 63% of population) By this numbers show clear institutional favoritism for asian americans and it is white americans that mostly suffer from this favoritism. Don't take this post too seriously Edited August 25, 2017 by Elerond
Volourn Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Nah. Good chances Asians could reach as much as 40% if they weren't discriminated against. It may be stereotyping but let's face it for whatever reason Asians are smart hardworking 'nerds' who tend to take their schooling way more seriously than other groups.

smjjames Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) A Kasich and Hickenlooper unity ticket? The only unity ticket that ever worked, and I checked wiki, was Abe Lincolin and Andrew Johnson. So, the question is "Would an unity ticket even work?" Although, they're going to try and run as Independent or something. Edited August 25, 2017 by smjjames
Gfted1 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Another statue of a rebel general that should be torn down. 3 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
smjjames Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 All you're doing is linking to a statue of Yoda, not idiots saying it should be torn down.....
Gfted1 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Yes, thats correct. Im the idiot that wants it torn down. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
smjjames Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 You're just trying to parody the real internet raegouts (spelling is intentional).
Gfted1 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 *sigh* It was a joke I saw on the Chive. But yes, its a parody of this weeks moronic masses. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Malcador Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Yoda wasn't a rebel though. Never really was with the Alliance and was just Republic loyalist defeated by the insurgent Imperials Why has elegance found so little following?

I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Malcador Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Well the Separatists were the rebel side there. Heh, Lucas even gave them the label of Confederacy of Independent Systems, just noticed that.

Hurlshort Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Of course, the comparison would work better if the Digital Arts Center voted as a board to move the statue, and then a bunch of Ewoks marched in protest. edit: Yeah, I am saying Ewoks are racist. They live in the forest and were ready to kill everyone until Threepio showed up. Edited August 25, 2017 by Hurlshot
Gromnir Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 not the star wars historian some others may be, but am recollecting ewoks preparing to roast han solo, alive, over an open flame. ewok intent to burn alive, and presumably eat other sentient beings were overlooked rather quickly by the band o' heroes.... racism aside. 'course most offensive were the culinary preparation o' han solo which had him being cooked, fully clothed, w/o any pre-seasoning, and absent any kinda wine as far as we could tell. what sort of animal cooks w/o, at the very least, salt and wine? still, the initial joke, when we saw it a week or so ago, were worth a small chuckle. was onboard with gifted 'til the "moronic masses" bit.
