But that points stands in Detroit and an Indian reservation as well as eastern Kentucky or West Virginia. Race is just one criterion and it probably (in my opinion) isn’t the useful one.
You could seriously get a full ride to any school if you were born on an Indian reservation, and the Indian gaming commission makes 10s of billions of dollars a year.

There is no reason that Indian reservations should even have poverty issues.

None.

Sorry the guy who thinks Vietnamese and Indian people are predisposed to owning shitty hotels and nailsalons thinks me calling out a 40 billion dollar a year industry exploitative is racist.

I'm real sorry you took the bait.
It's really starting to feel like we're going in circles here, but why would someone who worships a guy who was buddies with the world's most famous pedophile be disingenuous? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah because they’re next to China. Only Iran and Russia are dumb enough to choose China (fry you in egg rolls) over the US (make you mine our resources). Imperialism sucks but one is objectively worse
Same with India.

Proximity can determine being an ally with someone, but China keeps fighting India, which will push them right into our arms.

Republicans won the popular vote.

More people voted for them over Democrats.

If we had national service mandated and people had to move around, I bet a lot of people would get out of West Virginia and Detroit and find less “structural” obstacles
I have absolutely no proof of this, but I'd wager the original idea behind each "version" of the structure is to sort the wheat from the chaff, in some sense. Like, we will tolerate _____ if they integrate and we all make money. Reconstruction in the south certainly still resonates to the present in a lot of really complicated ways.

That isn't to say that within each version there aren't other forces at work in every direction, too.

I will check out that book. Anything that causes demographic change would change the issue, but I'd oppose mandatory military service personally if that's what you meant. I could compromise on civil service options tho. I have ideas for a Civilian Conservation Corps.

Yeah, they won the popular vote.

Where's the lie?
A lie by omission is a lie.

Dems likely won the popular vote in the class whatever Senate seats that were up.

I was once in an HR class and the black professor told me, the only whitey, that I should attend Morehouse College on a minority scholarship. I didn't do it.
