I hate it when comedians foray into political journalism and abandon their main ability; 'comedy'. I'll be dead and buried when Frankie fucking Boyle actually has any moral integrity to chastise anyone on ethics and morality.

I think Turks have done that to this site a few time. Haha, there is a reason why they're nicknamed 'Turkroaches'. It is such a graet nation to observe as it exists in a vacuum alone, unique culturally and politically.

No way being a fag is a lifestyle choice. A guy that is half up another's ass won't suddenly marry a vagina at forty. There are men however, that live in denial and try to have straight relationships and there are men that could become through some sort of sexual-abuse. It's purely contextual, but in general men are born gay. The is a huge difference between a fag and a dyke. If a man is gay, you can bet that he only wants the 'D'. Women are more fluid with their sexuality, many young women have bisexual or homosexual phases that they grow out of, many college-aged dykes end up marrying men, I'd say far fewer women are born lesbians compared to men, but women are more likely to experiment sexually. I also would say that women are far more likely to become homosexual through sexual-abuse than men. The trannies however... there seems to be a 'fashion' in certain subcultures to considers oneself 'trans'. It's pretty insulting to the people that actually suffer through life with the disease of transexuality. They live hard lives with incredibly high-rates of suicide, depression and other mental illnesses. The whole 'normalisation' of 'trans' is trivialising their plights. People are quick these days to automatically go for the transition; hormone therapy and genitalia mutilation. Why not try to take it one step at a time? Treat the depression first, treat the mental illness first and if their lives don't adjust through that therapy, then transition. If it is true and gender is just a mental state of mind, then CBT should help them ease into their own sexuality rather than diving off the deep end into irreversible medications and surgery. 1/5 of transsexuals regret transitioning! These people need help and they need to be understood! It's great we are moving towards a more accepting society but acceptance means nothing without understanding. http://thefederalist.com/2015/08/19/transgender-regret-is-real-even-if-the-media-tell-you-otherwise/ http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885 https://www.theguardian.com/society/2004/jul/30/health.mentalhealth

Everybody enclaves into segregated neighbourhoods. Koreans, Chinese, Mexicans, Peurto Ricans, Indians, Pollacks, Ukrainians, Germans, Irish, etc. A fun fact; Buffalo, New York was entirely segregated by Irish and Germans and they even had their own cemeteries. So no, Asians are far from the only people that segregate themselves and integrate poorly. People like what they know and stick to it, that is just human instinct, we are tribal animals after-all. Engineers usually don't run companies that don't create. That is just how life is; they aren't being blocked because they are Asian, they are being blocked because they are engineers. There is a preconceived notion in the business world, that a businessman must be a business man and the worker are the workers. Upwards mobility is usually stifling for those that aren't in management positions. That isn't how meritocracy works. Most companies want to make money and I really doubt in very liberal California in probably the most liberal field there are many racists running companies and keeping the Asian man down and out. Businesses typically don't thrive on racism. http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/stem-education/2012/02/15/more-engineers-starting-businesses In data sets there are always discrepancies. Why should a group that has 50% of the working population have a majority or any power in upper-management? That is a very leftist view on life, just because there are three people in a room and one has more money than the other two doesn't inherently mean the former has abused or stolen from the other two. What if most aren't pushing for upwards mobility? What if they aren't suited to management? What if they just plain don't want to? They aren't being stopped by the directors or media, if you can give me solid evidence that isn't an opinion I'd concede that point. I really doubt directors and casting agents are thinking to themselves 'haha fucking Asians, no roles for you'. No they think with their wallets, and the most profitable stars in Hollywood are white. Why are they white? For two reasons: whites are the largest demographic to sell to in America and secondly people usually find their own race the most attractive. Hollywood sets the beauty standards incredibly high and to make the most money they need the most beautiful starlets in their roles. That is why Scarlette Johansen is playing a Japanese role, there is no racism, there is no secret agenda, it is motivated by pure greed. The main role in America isn't Asians, it's white people, that is why the main role goes to white people, to sell more tickets. It is just economics, people are inherently biased towards that sort of stuff. I'm sure you'd gravitate to a film that had a pretty Asian girl as the lead protagonist and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just like how Japanese videogame companies design videogames that appeal to a Japanese audience the most and produce most of their software on Playstation; because that is the console that Japanese people own. Whitewashing, blackwashing, yellowwashing, it's all done to appeal to a target demographic, I don't know the demographics of pre-teen Nickelodeon TV shows but I'd wager since most of America is white, most of the audience is white also. It is just appealing to the lowest common denominator, it isn't intrinsically racist unless the racism is looked for. The reference you provided me is an opinion piece from an Asian journal, you know they have an agenda. Think about it, just like Makoto being cast as a white person to appeal to a target audience, AsAm News appeals to Asian-Americans but cherry-picking creating drama for their target audience; Asian-Americans. You aren't the only person that has had assumptions made on the superficial. I've had people assume that I'm a drunk racist because of how I speak. Attractive in your opinion, doesn't mean attractive in their opinion. Let's be honest here, everyone has a type. Personally I'm not particularly attracted to black people, and there isn't anything racist in that. Perhaps, the people that segmantilize themselves in enclaves are racist themselves? Perhaps they are the people that discriminate? Many Blacks and Latinos live in enclaves but still hasn't prevented over 50% of them facing discrimination. I'm not saying that some Asians don't have it tough, or that they don't live in poverty or that they don't face discrimination but every does, every race does, even the majority race. If had to choose a race other than white, I'd easily go Asian, Latino and then black purely on the basis of least resistance. I already have to deal with the bullshit of people 'asking where I'm from' on a daily basis so that is one thing we have in common. Hell even today, there is a strong social media movement that is anti-white, you can't have missed this, it really is everywhere. It seem racism on all fronts is something to be wary of. White-male cis scum seems to be a popular tagline for some people.

I think I did mean that.

People shit in the streets of India. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2016/nov/18/open-defecation-india-solution-world-toilet-day http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-27775327

What do you mean 'hell' that no person signs up for? Asians and people of all races immigrate to America and thrive, people sign up to come to this country for a new life, a new opportunity. It's just reality that not all of them can succeed, sorry but that is life. Many of them do however, and I don't think you realise anything about the immigration policy. You may think you do being a 1st generation America, but you really don't. Having a 'harder time to succeed' doesn't make it hell, I'm afraid. You cannot and will not convince me that America is 'hell' for Asians just because of some people's precognitive bias. Hell is having to sleep on your grandfather's tombstone because you have no where to live. Hell is having to shit where you live. Most Asians even report to succeeding in life at a far better rate than their parents. This 'victim-hood' is largely nonexistent. http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/asianamericans-graphics/ 73% of Asians do not perceive this 'bamboo ceiling' you do. 19% of Asians have reported feeling discriminated against in America, as opposed to 71% of blacks, 52% Hispanics and 30% Whites. Even if you have suffered through bias and racism it doesn't make it the norm. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/06/29/roughly-half-of-hispanics-have-experienced-discrimination/ About Silicone Valley, did you not read my previous post? " You do realise not everyone in every field deserves an equal amount of the pie. If no Asians are entering the media industry, why would they have equal representation? The same exact logic applies to Jews. More Jews enter the media industry than other ethnicity so more Jews will be in the media. Just because a certain ethnicity makes up a % of the population doesn't entitle them to make up an equal representation in any field, that isn't how meritocracy works. " Why would an engineer be in the boardroom? That isn't their profession. It isn't logical to expect a 50% engineers, 50% accountants, 50% lawyers, 50% directors, 50% managers, and so forth. If there is a higher rate of Asians studying engineering there will be more Asians in engineering, it's simple. It's complete and utter nonsense that Asians are always typecast into subservient roles. Why was an Asian Vice-President of Chase for years? Why do so many Asians run their own private medical clinics? The CEOs of Microsoft, Pepsi, Adobe and Mastercard are Indians. Youtube was ran by a Chinese-American, and many more successful people coming from America's smallest ethnic group. No offence but to me it looks like you have a victim-complex. What do you mean Asian aren't allowed and sort of real representation? Who is stopping them? Honestly, show me the people that are actively preventing Asians from being a part of the media. Maybe if more Asians entered the media instead of having a cultural focus towards the academics, then there would be more Asians in media. Want a Japanese channel in Georgia? Don't' complain about it, start one like the Koreans, they have about five channels in their native language. Asians are the not the only people that have the stigma of being the perpetual foreigner. Do you honestly believe that Hispanics don't have that stigma? I have that stigma and I'm white. Do you realise how difficult it is to be employed in America on a green-card? Sorry, if I don't buy into the eternal suffering of the Asian but Asians have no problems that other races don't also suffer. Why would my wife care about Cecilia Bustamante? Because they have the same heritage? Please, come off that nonsense, that is racist in itself to assume that in anyway my wife would care. Since when is every missing person reported? Asian Americans are bursting through America. Medicine, technology, business, it's only time before they are largely represented in politics as well. They are more successful than any other group, there is no hell; Asians are not second class citizens. Nobody thinks 'that a dumbfuck Asian' but many people think 'that's a dumbfuck redneck', 'that's a dumbfuck nigger', 'that's a dumbfuck spic'. No old ladies clutch their purses when an Asian steps on a train, but they sure as hell do when a young black man does.

Well, all the Asians I know are very, very successful. Vice-President of Chase, doctors, school teachers working at the best schools in America, para-legals, mechanical engineers, bio-chemists and so on and so forth. I even asked my wife, she said she has never felt bias for being Asian or a woman. In my experince, which is limited to major metropolitan areas. The Chinese Exclusion Act happened in 1882 and was repealed over seventy years ago, irrelevant. Media representation? You do realise not everyone in every field deserves an equal amount of the pie. If no Asians are entering the media industry, why would they have equal representation? The same exact logic applies to Jews. More Jews enter the media industry than other ethnicity so more Jews will be in the media. Just because a certain ethnicity makes up a % of the population doesn't entitle them to make up an equal representation in any field, that isn't how meritocracy works. If it were so, Asians wouldn't make up around 50% of Silicone Valley http://www.mercurynews.com/2012/11/29/asian-workers-now-dominate-silicon-valley-tech-jobs/ . Asians have the highest rates of college graduation despite having to score higher on standardised testing. http://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2016/demo/p20-578.pdf Asians have the highest rates of acceptance at Havard https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/admissions-statistics Asians make up 21% of Yale despite having a total American population of 14% https://oir.yale.edu/sites/default/files/factsheet_2015-16_0.pdf http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/03/31/10-demographic-trends-that-are-shaping-the-u-s-and-the-world/ Your link doesn't state 'working adults' it just says 'larger households'. Asians actually have the lowest rates of poverty. http://www.npc.umich.edu/poverty/ Not only mentioning that but 'poverty' in America is relative to the fact that it is the richest nation in the world. I'd rather be in American 'poverty' than to live in 'poverty' in the Philippines of India. https://www.debt.org/faqs/americans-in-debt/poverty-united-states/ Relative poverty is stated as half of the median American income and that is just over $26,000 p/a. http://www.census.gov/data/tables/2016/demo/income-poverty/p60-256.html The only actual real issue is having to score higher on standardised testing, which apparently isn't even an issue because Asians are still 'over-represented' in university. Hell, that isn't even a bad thing, as far as meritocracy goes it looks like Asians deserve it. So no, I do not buy into the fact that Asian-Americans have 'hell'. In fact it seems that the Asian-American community is thriving despite of this 'hell'. And to top it all off, Arabs despite being from Asia, aren't Mongoloids and are Caucasoids. 'Asian' is synonymous with 'mongoloid', not a 'person from the Asian continent'. That is why there is a distinction. If we go even further and follow the logic of 'person from Asia' = 'Asian ethnicity' then all Jews are in fact Asians. The Right of Return allows all Jews to become Israeli citizens. Israel is in Asian, ergo Jews are Asian. To top it all off that would mean Asians are over-represented in the media and other field.

They don't behave like that. Their accountants behave like that.

No thanks to that.

Yeah, what a curse. http://www.pewresearch.org/daily-number/asian-americans-lead-all-others-in-household-income/

Do people actually mean 'Fascism' when they speak of 'Fascism' or do they mean 'Totalitariansim' and 'Dictatorship''?

You're exactly right. Even the pollsters can obfuscate the stats. 'Well that wasn't a terrorist act, but this one is'.. What do they count the Tsarnaev Brothers? As both? Because they were definitely Caucasoid Muslims. Is Time only counting crimes perpetrated by American citizens? If you read the Time article and then the source the give (https://www.newamerica.org/in-depth/terrorism-in-america/what-threat-united-states-today/#americas-layered-defenses), there is clearly a discrepancy. Time speaks of 'white right wing extremists' v 'jihadists' but their source is 'left wing v right wing v jihadist'. Then if you read further Time states that Jihadists have killed 26 people but their source claims 94. Tsk, tsk, just a little detective work (a click of a bloody mouse!) and their story falls apart.

On top of that ^ Hinidis represent about same demographics as Muslims https://www.hafsite.org/hinduism-101/hindu-demographics

Disproportionate to their population. In America it's no surprise that white Christians commit a lot of crime because they are the largest population. Just like a person is more likely to die by falling out of bed. Nearly everyone sleeps in a bed and there are definitely more than 3.3 million beds in a America. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/01/06/a-new-estimate-of-the-u-s-muslim-population/ 3.3 million Muslims makes them about 1% of the population. According to time 48 have been killed by white extremists since 9/11, whereas 26 have been killed by radical Islamists. White people make up around 62% of the population. So if the complete total of terrorist attacks is 74 then 62% of the population has committed 64.86% of terrorist acts. Whereas Islamic terrorism has accounted for 32.43% https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/ http://time.com/3934980/right-wing-extremists-white-terrorism-islamist-jihadi-dangerous/ Am I scared that I'll die in an attack? No, definitely not. They don't happen often enough, and I'm more likely to get hit by a stray bullet from a drive-by. Am I concerned about the numbers? Yes I am.

Another attempted Islamic attack on the West today. A psychopath wielding a knife screamed 'Allahu Akbar' at the Louvre. http://news.sky.com/story/louvre-terrorist-armed-with-machete-shot-at-paris-museum-10754100 Islamic Extremists really do perpetrate a disproportionate amount of violence in the west.

Yeah you are right, it was a little over the top for a comparison. It isn't a competition between 'Neo-Nazi' attacks and 'Islamic Extremism'. The two can exist in a vacuum and it's not entirely impossible a huge increase of coverage for 'Neo-Nazis' while still being dwarfed by 'Islamic Extremism'. I'd actually like to see statistics on 'hate crime reports' and 'new media covering hate crime'. I think it'd be a very interesting set of data to look at, it could be the complete opposite of what I think, maybe 'hate crime reports' are spiking while 'media coverage' is dipping. But I'm not saying the aren't majority aren't sincere hate attacks. I'm just not taking the information at face value and I'm looking at possible other phenomena that could be an influence, because it does happen and the world is a odd place with thousands of different factors coming into play. I'm not denying there is an increase in hate crime, I just want to know why. Is it Trump? More than likely yes, but I want to know if there are any other factors that are coming into play. I may fall into using righty tactics without realising but I feel you do the same with lefty tactics. You seem to put all faith in the victims without question. I'm just not one to believe a crime was committed on the basis that a person makes a claim of victim-hood. We can't really observe all the stats right now, but I'd love to see 'hate crime reports' v 'hate crime convictions' to see if there is any discrepancy. That also isn't foolproof because people are often wrongly convicted or let go free without punishment. The problem with stats they aren't undeniable facts, they create an accurate picture but there is always room for error. I'm not one to buy into conspiracy theories at all but I also don't deny that there are very much a possibility. Isn't it a conspiracy by Exxon to fund climate denial campaigns? Why couldn't a leftist organisation do the same towards the Trump administration by false reporting hate crimes? People are quite immoral and will use and tactics to get a foot up, I doubt it is true but I don't deny the possibility as I'm just not the all knowing person I want to be. Even bloody universities are guilty of pushing rape trials, the more rapes that are tried and convicted on campus the more federal funding universities get (well not in that sense, they just don't get funding cut). They are insentivised to have bloody rape cases tried and convicted! The US really isn't that racist. It really isn't. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/05/15/a-fascinating-map-of-the-worlds-most-and-least-racially-tolerant-countries/?utm_term=.4d370a5fe326 Just from what I've observed and from that data, I can say that. Maybe in other states, in other cities it is far worse (maybe the just polled liberal Atlanta, Chicago, NY and LA). The most racist thing I've experience is a black dude saying to me 'black people can't be racist'.

They are also anti-Semites, anti-white, black separatists that put a couple of dozen bullets in Malcolm X. Even the Southern Poverty Law centre I disparaged earlier lists them as a hate group.

The rhetoric changes when you it's called 'extremist Islam' or 'fundamentalist Islam'. Take this for a thought; America is a Christian country, it can easily disassociate 'radical Christians' and 'normal Christians'. America has that advantage with Christianity because the society on a whole understands the religion, understands it's role in society and know when Christianity oversteps it's boundaries. While America has the complete opposite with Islam. Islam has had nothing but a troubled history with America, from the Nation of Islam, modern extremism and Sharia nations being the antithesis to America. It's almost incomparable. You know Dylan Roof is an outlier, you know most Christians don't want to ethnic cleanse and throw homosexuals from roofs.

On a side note a girl that attended the UC Berkley Milo Yiannoplous extravaganza was pepper-sprayed to the face because she was wearing at a glance a 'MAGA' hat. It actually said 'Make America Bitcoin Again'. People are nuts! These college students have dived off the deep-end.

Yes, the won't learn accounting or anything that is more esoteric. However, it is a good place to start. To learn the value of a dollar, to learn the value of your time, to know that you have to step up to be beyond the rest of the pack, to learn that you will be taxed, and learn the people will walk on all over others. It these basic foundations that people need to learn in their formative years to help them understand where they can go and what they can achieve in the world. It's useless having a degree in political science if you are naive with real world experience. I feel the problem is a Gordian knot of issues. The more people that get degrees the less valuable they become, but to get a degree one needs to have money, but to get money they need a degree and then when it's all said and done the job now requires four years of experience. That's not really the point, I was more specifically talking about Public Enemy, a very black-pride rap group. It's just a funny thought knowing the those guys were backed by a white nerd. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just that some people would be surprised is all, it was more a joke than anything. True but you cannot deny that there is a very strong anti-white and anti-authority core to BLM. When one of the leaders calls 'white peepo' a genetic defect of blacks, you know something is up. Check out the rhetoric being spewed by Yusra Khogali. Nasty stuff.

Exactly! But he doesn't really support the alt-right. He just panders to them, because he know that is an audience without a news network. It's a huge untapped oil well! From a social perspective, it is horrible to spurt that sort of nonsense but from a purely business perspective it is ingenious. Look at what turning Andrew Breitbart's (a Jew and a classical conservative, as in the economic sense) vision into a vitriolic Alt-Right and pro-Trump source has got him. He know has the president's ear and has made huge amounts of money.

You don't need to go to school to be prepared for adult life. In the past that was what summer jobs were for. A teenager will learn more about the world flipping hamburgers for shit money than they would getting high by using their parent's allowance. Now they are lazy and won't do it because illegals do it for dirt money. Hard to convince a teenager to learn responsibility and hard work when they are earning $2 p/h. Hell, it's gotten to the point where blacks can't even get work in SoCal because speaking Spanish is a prerequisite for customer service. University isn't for everyone, some people are stupid and that's okay. They can learn a trade, be a welder or plumber, but no one wants to do that because they have been sold an idea by the baby boomers that they need to get a degree to get a job. I've been offered an entry level construction job up in Chicago that is paying $15 p/h. If I get a truck and move, I'll take that job, because I'd rather earn $100,000 p/a as a labourer than go $40,000 in the hole. In theory, of course public schools could but they won't. It'll take something huge to change something so ingrained into American society. No one I know. I just find it hard to imagine an ardent anti-white BLM supporter being pleased about their favourite afrocentric rap album being created behind the scenes by a white nerd.

Also I believe the Southern Poverty Centre like I believe Breitbart. Politicised nonsense.

No, but I do believe that there are crazy lefty people out there that will use their victim-hood card to propagate their views. I just cannot take anything at face value, especially when we live in a world that has devalued the word 'rape' to the point it no longer resembles what it was a decade ago. I just don't know what constitutes as 'hate crime' anymore. I work with several people from minority groups and they haven't experienced any of this, nor I have I witnessed it. Nor has anyone in my wife's immediate family (and the time it did was twenty years ago). I don't know where this is all happening but it isn't around me. I encounter fucking assholes at my work all the time but I've never experienced or been told of racism, sexism, and religious bias. I cannot and I won't speak for everyone in America but to me it really does seem like it is being blown out of proportion. The way it is portrayed in the media, you'd think my wife would be getting her head kicked in by Neo-Nazis once a day. I'm not saying it doesn't happen nor am I saying it hasn't increased but it does seem to not be as widespread as you'd imagine. America really isn't as racist as people portray it. Steve Bannon isn't a white supremacist. I'm sick of defending the guy, I don't even like him, I just know it's completely untrue. If you want to insult him, just call him a moral-less lizard that will manipulate a media empire to extract money out of a niche audience. He may be a greedy, money and power hungry asshole, but a white supremacist he is not. I just don't see a true white supremacist associating with a Jewish company.
