I vaguely remember that year—>solid. LMAO.

Twitter and Facebook, see, there’s your problem right there…

I suppose you're right, they're obviously not representative of society and clearly tend to lean left, I think that's pretty clear. Still, some of the users are real people.

Just for the record, this kind of political debate is the kind I most enjoy because it's not the typical stupid partisanship (or at least not much.) I mean, if "slavery was bad" becomes a partisan issue again, then we've got some serious problems.

And the reason I'm up haranguing you poor bastards is because I was simultaneously watching the NY Rangers lose while updating all the FCS schedules for 2022 (which I'm very happy about getting done - even if the coaches and conferences will need some cleaning up.): Bisonville.com - Bisonville Main Page

I think the issue is not so much that they’re right or left as especially with Facebook you’ve got to work really hard to not get put in a box where they’re only showing you what they know you want to see.

We all agree slavery was bad, what we don’t agree on is wanting to continuously focus on a past that has by and large been rectified and solved via Constitutional Amendmens and massive legislative efforts. Good God already!

Or what Facebook wants you to see/their agenda?

Maybe it helped a little bit that we spent 20 billion dollars rebuilding the economy in their home country instead of going back on our promises for a century. In any event I think what you say about how Japanese Americans feel about internment is mostly not true, except for the bit about not talking about it much. And it’s certainly not true that they’re dominating education and business that was just some freak out we experienced for a hot minute in the late 80s.

But yes shitty things happen and for the 4th time yes maybe we can do a little better going forward.

I'm not talking about the nation of Japan. I'm talking about Japanese Americans thrown into internment camps. Asian Americans on average are the most educated wealthiest and even high the highest IQ scores. Asians score so high on ACTs that schools like Harvard adjust for them. It's not genetic, it's culture and the lowest divorce rates

I thought we were talking about whether or not we should have a slightly more representative democratic republic or not but whatever.

So all Asians are Japanese Americans now…

Just as all whites aren't Irish, Norwegian or German. But I still call them white. And a black guy from Zimbabwe is different than other blacks but the same. Black guys. But specifically Japanese Americans do quite well
