in which just show up as a "oppressed minority" and get all the sweet sweet silicon valley money and get off for committing crimes like theft and identity theft
If you want to have a social safety net, which I think most people do, then you need to have some basic means of restricting that social safety net to members of the society that pays into it. If only citizens are paying for it but the entire planet can claim it, then the social safety net collapses and nobody gets any help.
safety nets are rarely stable or scale correctly to start with.
I don't really want to argue the particulars of social safety nets. I'm just saying that most members of our society want something to that effect, and that controlling access to it is a prerequisite for the functioning of such a system.
Even California lacks the wealth to provide freebies to the entire planet.
don't tell them that
I think they're already figuring it out.
only ones not in the cities
which, unfortunately, is not most of the population of California. Then again most of the population of California is probably illegals by now who don't really get what is going on, all they know is that they get money to send home, or more than they had before.
nah, California can easily have a safety net for everyone, provided everyone else pays along (source: typical Californian faithful)
have wallstreet pay for it 😉
Increase taxes on the software engineer making $300k and living in a trailer.
and the 5 star chef working for Microsoft and sleeping on the city bus
I don't know how the story is going to play out, but eventually reality has to reassert itself.
Doesn't California lead the nation in wealth disparity now?
we'll see how the 3 state thing goes in...November was it?
And that's probably not counting illegal immigrants, as I doubt their incomes can be measured by whatever metric is being used.
reality wont reassert it self with those Cali goons, its basically like this http://martianmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/in-the-red-3.png
Sweden beat SK 1-0 😉
affirmitive action is racist by US supreme court definition
no
the supreme court rules in 2016 that it is legal to discriminate against white people
basically
its ok to be racist against asians in the US
asians are 5.6% of the population
one of the smallest minorities
yet google and major universities are constantly accused of discrimination
the supreme court is dangerously wrong on that ruling
doesn't that set a veeeery bad precedent?
oh yea
so if the left thinks that oppressor > opressed
did you mean "affirmative action is [not] racist" ?
than why would they stand for discrimination against asians
to be fair, the left you refer to would consider people dying as "corpse appropriation" if it would win them an argument,
Asians are white whenever it suits them too
because white doesnt mean anything anymore
it now means "dominant class"
acorrding to regressives
well its just a metaphor for the "Everyone i dislike is Literally Hitler"
it all just means the same to them
Racism is "Power + Prejudice", and Asians and Jews are powerful, so they can't be victims of racism?
