There’s a fun example brewing in the State of Washington (won by Hillary 54-38) that demonstrates once again how the Democrats’ Coalition of the Margins requires constant drumming up of fear and loathing of the White Male Menace to keep their diverse coalition from being at each other’s throats. This time, blacks and Chinese are fighting over affirmative action in state college admissions.
First, some background:
Back in 1998 voters in the state of Washington banned affirmative action in government hiring and public universities, on the model of California’s 1996 Proposition 209. Recently, the state legislature voted in favor of a bill, I-1000, to rescind that referendum and legalize affirmative action. But then, apparently, it was noticed that they couldn’t, you know, do that, so they need a referendum to repeal the 1998 referendum.
A vote in favor of the upcoming R-88 is to legalize affirmative action, while a vote against is to keep affirmative action illegal.
Not surprisingly, professional People of Color are for R-88, while White-Adjacent Tiger Moms are against R-88.
In case you are wondering, the the language of the pro-affirmative action I-1000 / R-88 is shameless gaslighting. From Ballotpedia:
Under I-1000, preferential treatment would be prohibited. I-1000 defines preferential treatment as using one of the characteristics listed above as the sole factor for selecting a lesser-qualified candidate over a more qualified candidate. [Emphasis mine]
However, affirmative action would be allowed under I-1000. I-1000 defines affirmative action as using one or more of the characteristics listed above (except sexual orientation) as factors when considering a person for education or employment opportunities.
Now, you know and I know that the legal concept of disparate or adverse discrimination doesn’t say disparate discrimination is okay as long as the factor that causes one race to benefit over the other isn’t the “sole factor.”
From the Seattle Times:
Affirmative action debate in Washington takes an Orwellian turn
Oct. 21, 2019 at 6:00 am Updated Oct. 21, 2019 at 11:49 amNaomi Ishisaka By Naomi Ishisaka
Seattle Times columnistLike many Asian Americans growing up in Seattle’s civil-rights circles in the 1980s, I looked up to the “Four Amigos” as a powerful model of solidarity and activism.
Native leader Bernie Whitebear, Latinx leader Roberto Maestas, Asian American leader Uncle Bob Santos and African American leader Larry Gossett — each legends in their own right — modeled cross-racial organizing that emphasized we were stronger when we looked beyond our own self-interest and thought about the interests of all. From the 1960s on, they taught us that while communities had different struggles, histories and needs, only through multiethnic solidarity could we right wrongs and raise the tide for every boat.
I.e., Unite to Fight the White.
It was within this context that I was, perhaps foolishly, surprised, confused and discouraged to see that the face of the campaign to reject affirmative action by voting no on Referendum 88 was nearly all Asian American.
Led by Eastside residents Kan Qiu and Linda Yang under the name Washington Asians for Equality, the no on R-88 campaign brought hundreds of Chinese Americans to Olympia to lobby against Initiative 1000 in the spring. The no on R-88 campaign seeks to overturn I-1000, which was passed this year by the Legislature to help women and people of color gain access to public education and public employment in Washington.
The campaign uses Orwellian language to call equity efforts “systemic racism” and “racial profiling.” In testimony on the initiative in April, Yang said, “I-1000 would legalize racial discrimination and penalize hardworking Asians by our skin color. At its core, it would allow less-qualified applicants to be selected based on race.” In his testimony, Qiu invoked not just parallels to the Chinese Exclusion Act but the genocide of the Khmer Rouge and Nazi Germany as examples of similarly disastrous government “solutions.”
In an Oct. 4 Seattle Times podcast, Qiu went further, dismissing historic injustices faced by African Americans. “You’re talking about slavery? That’s like 150 years ago. … Jim Crow law, that happened half a century ago.” Qiu called Jim Crow “government-sanctioned discrimination” and said, “I actually don’t see the difference between [the] Jim Crow law and Initiative 1000.”
It is appalling and ahistorical to conflate a codified system of racial apartheid that was upheld through terror, with an effort to create economic and educational opportunities for historically marginalized groups.
April Sims, secretary-treasurer of the Washington State Labor Council and a co-chair of the Washington Fairness I-1000 campaign, found Qiu’s remarks offensive. “[It] discounts the real sacrifice that folks made to pass the Civil Rights Act and to overturn those Jim Crow laws, folks that died. The folks that were lynched during the Jim Crow era.” Sims’ own family fled the South to escape the violence of the time. Sims said the divide-and-conquer tactics aren’t new, but they are nonetheless disheartening.
Washington Asians for Equality is part of a national political trend of the emerging Chinese American right wing. Using the digital platform WeChat, users can quickly spread information and organize support. From online bullying to direct confrontation, Washington Asians for Equality aggressively attacks any who oppose them — usually by calling their opponents racist and supporters of discrimination.
A recent encounter at the U. of Washington library:
“It is appalling and ahistorical to conflate a codified system of racial apartheid that was upheld through terror, with an effort to create economic and educational opportunities for historically marginalized groups – and if you disagree with us, we will cancel you.”
I wonder if history books will say things like “in the early 21st century, a large group of Han Chinese migrated to North America and converted to the dominant religion of Minoritarianism.”
Naomi Ishisaka and comrades are committed to eradicating this scourge from Greater North America.
“ From online bullying to direct confrontation, Washington Asians for Equality aggressively attacks any who oppose them — usually by calling their opponents racist and supporters of discrimination.”
How dare they! Don’t they know that only certain people are allowed to bully online and call people racist, for equity reasons?!!?
Really. Is anyone else permitted to?
All “affirmative action” is illegal.
It’s a blatant violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Unrelated to the blog post but relevant to topics discussed on this blog. Kind of cringy, kind of funny about a nominal ‘brown’ woman and her quest to find love and please her dad. Lol. Female journalists. Wow.
If Asians had any brains, they would call for meritocracy for whites, Asians, and Jews. Whites would include white latinos who must NOT be allowed to go as POC.
Let blacks and others have their quotas. But no ‘holistic’ stuff for whites, Asians, and Jews.
But one qualifier should be NO AA for African immigrants and AA for browns with American ancestry. None for white Latinos and immigrant browns.
It seems Jews use ‘holistic’ cover not only to let in more blacks but to favor Jews over white gentiles and Asians. That is if Ron Unz is right.
I hold a special kind of loathing for the filthy negrophiliacs that make up the inter-bureaucracy of UW and Seattle, who partnered in covering up the rape of a young white woman by future NFL scumbag Jerramy Stevens, as well as an assortment of other crimes like drug dealing, animal abuse, attempted murder, other cases of sexual assault, etc by the UW’s football team back in 2000-2001.
Yeaqh, that’s something that Ron Unz just doesn’t get. Anti-YTism is the dominant ideology of our times. Without it, the POC coalition would fall apart…..
Just a gentle reminder:
Chinese “American” Federal Judges have ruled that keeping Muslim LEGAL IMMIGRANTS out of America is a violation of the EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE BECAUSE KEEPING MUSLIMS OUT OF AMERICA IS RACIST!!!!!
Bring back the 1883 Chinese Legal Immigrant Exclusi0n Act!!!!
Why the over-philosophizing? These people are ‘hey, this is library’-style FOBs, their children won’t protest like this. They will protest affirmative action but only because it impedes their hyper status-seeking and social climbing. But they’ll affirm every other part.
From your link I found this and is it racism to think that it’s only her experience as she does?
“what it’s like to be the only brown person in a room”
Boo hoo, I’ve been the only white guy in the room at parties more times than I can count AND I have the added extra benefit of being “clowned on” in Spanish while there. And I can pick up about every 3rd of 4th word so I have a “clue” what they are saying and it’s not flattering…….but so fucking what? It was all in jest anyway.
These victims have this caricature of what life as a white person is like that is completely made up in their own minds.
This isn’t racism about skin color this is racism against smart people. These victims don’t wanna do the work and put in the hours so they just want to be given the opportunity not thru hard work and sacrifice but because of skin tone.
IF any person of color, no matter which, put in the hours Asians do in education we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Colorful nonwhite Person of Color Lola Méndez.
Negroes need a new tactic to guarantee their gibmedats. Think the Negro would get more sympathy—and gibs—if they just admitted they are low I Q parasites
I think Uruguayans are almost entirely whites of Italian and Spanish descent.
No need to worry. As per Sandra Day O’Connor, it will be all sorted out by 2028.
Plausibly could be knitting the sweater in the middle in County Cork, tipping a stein in Munich or grazing sheep in rural Sicily like the ill-fated Apollonia in “Godfather”.
Washington State is about 85% white, 8% Asian, 4% Black and 3% other. So it’s a little unclear how AA would play out in that demographic mix.
If the state sets “goals” (aka quotas) equal to each group’s percentage of the population, then Asians would bear the brunt, at least in university admissions.
But there are also so many whites in the system that the state could give Asians all the spots they deserve by merit, and just take all the AA spots reserved for blacks and others out of the white quota.
My guess is that is exactly how the leftist WA state legislature would implement any new AA programs they are allowed to get away with.
Que guapa.
It is not obvious to me, however, why someone whose ancestors obviously immigrated from Europe to Latin America, and thence to the United States, magically transforms into a “person of color” upon arrival here, while if the same person’s ancestors had just come directly to the United States, that person would be stuck as white.
Here’s a recent news story that has to be read to be believed. I’ll post the link and some pertinent excerpts.
‘Anywhere you go, you’re accepted’: NE Ohio city named ‘Nicest Place in America’
Reader’s Digest announced this month that it has selected Columbiana, Ohio as the Nicest Place in America. The city was nominated for its residents’ welcoming nature.
More than 1,000 nominations were filed with Reader’s Digest for the Nicest Place in America designation. The magazine narrowed the field to one community in each state. Residents then voted on their communities. Reader’s Digest considered the votes when it chose the winner, Columbiana.
……Amid the country’s deep political divide, Columbiana runs against the prevailing anger and angst spewed so often on airwaves and social media. Earlier this month, Reader’s Digest announced that it had selected Columbiana the Nicest Place in America, noting how the city of 6,400 lifts its young and old, its thriving and its struggling.
Reader’s Digest sought cities where people treat others well, where respect and community pride are seen in daily life.
……In some ways, Columbiana is typical of a lot of small cities in Ohio. It has a downtown in which nearly every storefront is owned and operated by local businesses. The only exception is a Subway sandwich shop, and that is owned by a city resident.
A diversified manufacturing base makes up a good deal of the city’s workforce. Columbiana has several small to midsized businesses, including R&L trucking, which has about 300 employees. Vari-Wall, a tubing specialist, has about 100 workers.
Columbiana’s unemployment rate hovers at 4 percent, which is lower than the rest of the region, which is about 6 percent.
……It leans conservative, a contrast to 40 years ago when the region’s steel and autoworkers backed Democrats. In 2016, Columbiana County, as a whole, gave Donald Trump nearly 70 percent of its vote.
The crime rate is low, even in the shadows of Youngstown, a city north of Columbiana. In the 2000s, The Plain Dealer reported Youngstown was the murder capital of the country, on a per capita basis.
Columbiana is about 20 miles from Youngstown, and a world away from its problems.
“Things don’t build up here,’’ said Tom Yoder, the owner of Heck’s Restaurant, which serves up a full menu and the happenings of the city on a daily basis.
“There’s not the tension of a big city. Everyone has opinions, but you don’t have that divisiveness here.’’
Sounds great, right? How can they do this in 2019?
One more excerpt that might explain it:
…..Its population, according to the U.S. Census, is more than 98 percent white. City leaders are seeking ways to attract diversity.
“Diversity, like variety, is the spice of life,’’ (Nicole) Ice said.
Well, it was nice while it lasted.
It’s about time to call AA ‘black primacy’.
Btw, why not do away with the entire notion of elite colleges? No matter how you dice or slice it, the fact is elite colleges will favor one small group over others.
Make colleges recruit students the way sports team does.
The weakest colleges get first picks, to even things out.

You heard it here first!
LOL. Complaining about your own tactics. That’s perfect irony and karma.
“Equity Effort” lends itself to “Orwellian” framing because it is and has always been Orwellian (because it is so intentionally vague and malleable in its pseudo-morality and self-justifications that are covering for its real role as a racial war bludgeon).
This article makes that fact as clear as day.

In a follow up to last week’s stories the brilliant all-rounders of Cornell’s football team (15,000 undergraduates) on the weekend lost at home to then 0-7 local rival Colgate, a liberal arts college with under 3,000 students.
The employment-to-population ratio of the black population is almost precisely the same as that for the three other coarse racial categories. Why would blacks call themselves ‘low IQ parasites’ to please you?
Anti white solidarity was easier when White people were 85% of the US population. With Whites now aproaching 60% of the population there are less jobs to fight about, and anti whiters start fighting among themselves
of course, part of the Latino population is 100% European Spaniard. But the anti white sweepstakes is too tempting – by the way I happen to know Argentine Americans that are by ancestry 100% European that had no problems applying for minority jobs as Latino
The solution in WA as in CA will be to ban first all Straight White males period from public universities. Then private ones. Then all Whites, including gay males, and White women. This is inevitable and is likely to happen very rapidly, in the next few years.
The rich won’t mind, they’ll just send their kids abroad now that the USC/UCLA cheating scandal broke. Big bucks for colleges in Switzerland or the UK or Ireland etc. Maybe even revival for German universities. Who knows?
So don’t be White. Not now, not ever. This will never ever EVER stop. So just … don’t be White. Learn and speak Spanish. Change your name to Hernandez or something. Join La Raza and scream about White people. Leave an ample and abundant paper trail of not being White, so you don’t have to wear a White Triangle or something denoting White. Just … don’t ever be White.

Something I didn’t think of, foreign students are mostly Asian/Chinese. So if Asian Americans make up 25% of American students and foreign students are 15% then you add them to get 40% Asian ancestry. I have no idea how to resolve that, especially since foreign students are said to pay much larger tuition.
Another $100 bill just lying there waiting for the GOP to pick it up. Fracturing the democrat coalition would be relatively easy to do, but the GOP refuses to even try.
A few election cycles ago the GOP was accused of suppressing the black vote by handing out money to black preachers to get them to tell their congregations to not waste their time voting. If the GOP really did do that, I don’t get why they won’t up their game today. They wouldn’t even need to pass out cash.
reading the article, it turns out she is half Uruguayan (from her father side) and half white American (from her mother side). But Uruguayans are almost 100% European, of mostly Spanish and Italian descent. A DNA test would likely find her ancestry to be 100% European. That makes the article so funny, how she is desperately running from being white.
Smiled at the irony that #ThisIsLibrary ALSO happened at University of Washington in Seattle.
By comparison, check out the ethnic / racial background of undergraduates at Washington State’s flagship university.
11,825/ 38.6% CAUCASIAN
6,840/ 22.3% ASIAN
4,667/ 15.2% INTERNATIONAL
2,569/ 8.4% LATINO
1,879/6.1% SOUTHEAST ASIAN
1,254/4.1% AFRICAN AMERICAN
554/1.8% FILIPINO
376/ 1.2% AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE
356/ 1.2% HAWAIIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER
329/ 1.1% NOT INDICATED
We can’t say,” We want white Hispanics and fancy Asians only”.
And then the state of Washington was saved by 20,000 tiger moms in a killing rage.
Is there any clear data on this question?
Blacks are seemingly both low iq and uninterested in studies. If a black person with an average black iq studies like an asian grind, how well do they do? My guess is well enough to get into state u on merit, but I have no proof on that hypothesis.
If average black students really can’t qualify for a state university even after studying hard, but they either want to learn or want a skill that gets them to the middle class, I have some sympathy for them. There isn’t a fair solution that doesn’t penalize someone here, but this is the predicament of living with one race that fundamentally does not operate like the others.
Basically “Racial discrimination is different when we do it!”
Washington Asians for Equality is part of a national political trend of the emerging Chinese American right wing.
Would be nice to think so, but ethnic solidarity + lack of racial guilt does not a conservative make. They’re probably about 20% Republican.
Asians don’t merit any spots. Don’t confuse merit with academic credentials.
She’s a very stupid, and very promiscuous girl. Don’t take anything that comes out of her mouth seriously. Lord knows how many guys have been in it.

No, whites are not allowed to organize in collective self-defense. As the titular majority, they are expected to behave with rarefied disinterested mindset above the fray of petty ethnic struggles.
FWIW, I see fights over A/A as superfluous. In the event of it being banned by the legislature or referendum; the academic bureaucracy just restarts it under another name.
Further, opposing A/A antagonizes middle-class moderate non-Asian minority voters. White students could just go to community college or a lower-ranked state university.
Finally, opposing A/A on principle means that conservatives have surrendered the arguement that diversity should include a reserved number of seats for “conservative professors”. More than anything, forcing Right-wing sociology and anthropology profs to be hired would forcibly inject and legitimize race realism in the academy.
The masthead here has lots of authors who would wield much more influence if the title “Professor” was affixed to the front of their names.
In itself a low IQ black population is not such a bad problem fiscally or socially in a country this rich. The liability comes from their exploitation as a status-striving instrument by S+E Asian colonists who are not oppressed and not low-IQ. Of course they couldn’t run this jive without having copied the social-discord methods from status-frustrated white-assorted boomers. Asians can’t innovate like that. Their opposition to Wash. state’s Order 66(?) is similarly counterfeited from ’90s Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot.

THIS IS LIBRARY II: The Revenge!
Washington State is currently 60% white. I imagine the affirmative action fight features whites on both sides of the debate…
I’ve seen stats where the progressive whites generally have moved to the left of blacks on affirmative action.
It’s odd to see a left-leaning outlet characterize those on the political right this way…
A considerable proportion of recent immigrants from Greater China are bluntly politically conservative.
By contrast, the vast majority of third+ generation Japanese Americans – many descendants of FDR internees – stay faithfully on the Democratic plantation, having internalized “people of color” shibboleths heard at two removes in the 1950s and 1960s.

The best move on AA is to implement hard racial quotas.
If Whites have a legally mandated 61% or whatever the SPLC wall chart says we are now, then the enemy groups have to fight against eachother over who gets AA. Goes without saying too that in many many institutions, getting to 61% White would be a huge increase for Whites just on its own.
Idealogical quotas for professors mandatory also. At least 48% of all political science professors must be center-right normies. And 9% literal White Nationalists.

On what appears to be Lola Mendez‘ professional website, she describes herself as:
She graduated in May 2007 from Blue Valley High School in Overland Park, Kansas (a suburb of Kansas City; median family income in 2010: $93,000). She was in New York City from 2008 to 2015. 2010: BA in Marketing from LIM College, Manhattan.
This timeline (high school class of 2007) suggests she has likely recently turned 30 (possibly as old as 31).
Two of her travel writing pics, from Nov. 2018 in Malaysia:
That library video clip is gold.
She claims to have no Black ancestry. At a glance, she looks like a highly exotic, light-skinned Black. Maybe like a middle-aged Madagascar woman. Or a Hottentot.
White liberals around me are telling me they are going to approve R-88, i.e. reinstate affirmative action, because UW is “too Asian”. Meanwhile, the reason UW is too Asian is because it is 17% international students — with >50% from China alone! The actual percentage of Asian Americans at UW is only around 25%, with probably equal share East and South Asian:
https://studentdata.washington.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/10/Quick_Stats_Seattle_Autumn_2019.pdf
So Asian Americans are actually being lumped in and hurt by their FOB co-ethnics; the latter are preferred by UW admin because they pay 3x higher tuition, and are also taking up precious limited spots in the popular CS, engineering and business majors, and taking jobs at AMZN and MS when they graduate thanks to OPT and H1b.
The entire Seattle area is practically drowning in Chindians, all arrived within the last 10 years. Most Indians arrived to take jobs at Microsoft, Amzn or one of the Indian outsourcers. Most Chinese arrive via EB5 or as students then take jobs. The town I live in was barely 8% Asian 20 years ago, now it’s closer to 40%.
It’s way pass time to end the H1b and OPT visas. American jobs should be for American citizens only. Trump needs to end this gravy train for our universities and businesses.
For the first time in a very long time Democrats got full control of Washington state government in 2018 (roar to that Reps had narrow majority in one or both houses for long time), I’m hoping that they utilize this power to push through 2 things that will do more than anything to make conservatives/Republicans/white politics relevant in the state again – raise taxes through hook or crook (WA has not state tax), and bring back affirmative action. So far the Democrats are full steam ahead on this.
I am very curious as to how the state politics of Washington, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Virginia evolve as Dems become vehemently anti white party.
Now that Asians are a much bigger voting block in WA, if this Affirmative Action vote fail, it might spur them on to vote (R). But then again, with so many effing Indians running for office, and all as left wing nutjobs like Kshama Sawant and Paypal, I’m not so hopeful. All of the East Side used to be (R) strongholds even as it was highly East Asian, but now with the huge Indian influx, it has almost all gone (D). Subcons are a lot more liberal politically than East Asians, except for the Japs like this Naomi chick who wrote this dumb article. They’re still bitter about the whole internment thing, always forgetting that it was an effing (D) president who put them there.
Bad news for America, Indians are not only liberal, but they also love to run for office. East Asians are more conservative, but they don’t run for office. The few who do are also (D) libtards. Admitting more Chindians will only hurt the Republican party, why can’t those GOP cucks understand that? Even Trump is still calling for more “best and brightest” from Asia. Ann Coulter was right about GOP being the Stupid Party.
We can sort this out, and have places for everyone.
The problem is the Grievance Industry® and its constant messaging of inequality under every rock; thus unhappiness ensues when one group is told that they are not getting their share of certain positions.
From an interview with Ann Coulter the Great, Oct. 2019 (see comment-106):
“Roar”?
Are you posting from a Kindle Fire by any chance? Thank your neighbor Jeff Besos [sic].
It is only natural that black community appeals to a sense of restorative justice will have no resonance with a people whose history has nothing to do with those injustices of long ago, and whose view of life and opportunity is mercantilist and competitive—a fixed economic pie, with those who try the hardest getting the most.
I suspect that in the future, black activist and political groups will increasingly find (if the non-founding stock immigrant population keeps increasing), that the tried and true political tactics and discursive appeals that have their roots in the civil rights movement will simply fail to work.
Expect a lot of anger and puzzled fury—though there’s already plenty of that in evidence.
Cornell’s big thing is hockey.
What evidence is there that women are being denied access to public education? The proportion of female students at the state’s major universities (and probably all of its universities) exceeds 50%.

My ethnic background (Irish) is no less less concealable than her ethnic background because of my distinctively Irish-sounding name. (“Ray Huffman” is a pseudonym) There’s no mistaking my heritage.
The only two times in my life that I’ve ever suffered any anti-Irish bigotry were from Hispanics like her–who I never even brought my ethnicity up to.
The irony of this kills me.
Naomi Ishisaka
Come on, don’t be such a snowflake — be brave — she just wants to talk.
This is interesting. I think they could get more votes, from white people too, but they’re corporate masters won’t allow it. Look how afraid the rest of the party was to talk about immigration and trade, which left a huge lane for Trump to slide into.
Equality is used in the sense of equality of opportunity; equity is used to mean equality of outcome.
The shift to equity as a goal was an implicit acknowledgement that blacks will never achieve proportional representation without the equivalent of quotas. The only important metric now is population proportionality in all roles and jobs and institutions.
Using the word latinx unironically should be grounds for debloodlining – the complete and utter extermination of the user, and everyone related to him down to the 16th generation. Y’know, just in case it’s genetic.
Its the years _and_ the miles.
In the last two years I’ve been single—still living in Southeast Asia—I’ve almost exclusively been involved with white, blonde, and blue-eyed men from the States, Australia, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands.
No Southeast Asian guys around? LOL
Hey, we’re talking about Chinamen here, hoss.

Given her dating “resume”, I assume she’s had a little color in her.
An ‘87 Yugo would have less miles on it at this point.
I suspect you meant “illegal” rather than “legal”. No, illegal immigrants don’t have a right to move to the US. Legal immigrants with legitimate green cards, sure they generally do have full rights to move to the US.
We all know the hierarchy of sexual market values by race, and where Oriental men lie within it.
Perhaps more salient than the presence of Oriental men is the (relative) absence of Negroes, Arabs, mestizos, etc. – her demonstrated and admitted preferences for these dusky lot cannot be met in Bangkok. What’s more, the absence of gibs in southeastern Asia means that only the white men (and undesirable Oriental men) have the resources to sufficiently entertain her before schtupping her – unlike in Europe, North America, and Australia, where the governments steal money from white men, then give it to the swarthy parasites, who in turn use it to chase white women.
Lastly, she is close to her date of expiry and is possibly seeking a suitable patch of soft grass into which to leap from the carousel – Negroes are for fornication in one’s twenties; but Whitey is for marriage in one’s thirties or forties (followed, of course, by divorce-rape in one’s forties or fifties – at which point a gal can party and travel the world again, with the added bonus of alimony and child support meaning she can finance things with no concern for how broke Mandingo is…).
She’s gone, girl!
“City leaders are seeking ways to attract diversity”
The city folk should round up those city leaders and give them a good caning.
“Caning is a form of corporal punishment consisting of a number of hits (known as “strokes” or “cuts”) with a single cane usually made of rattan, generally applied to the offender’s bare or clothed buttocks (see spanking) or hand(s) (on the palm)”
Maybe that would bring some common sense back into their brains.
Uruguayans like to THINK that they are 100% European but the DNA says otherwise:
https://archive.fo/20121211061848/http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/108068634/abstract/
The Native American contribution varies from 1–20%, while the African contribution ranges from 7–15%, in different regions of the country.
So the average Uruguay approaches 1/4 non-white. This is very common in almost all Latin countries. The operation of the color line in the US meant that whites stayed very white – most white Americans are close to 100% white. But the typical Latino, even if he appears and identifies as “Spanish” has more than a touch of color.
You have to look it up because it doesn’t mean anything without context.
The No No Boys were those Japanese American men who answered no on Questions 27 and 28 of the questionnaire they were given when they were interned during WWII:
Question number 27 asked if Nisei (American born Japanese) men were willing to serve on combat duty.
Question number 28 asked if individuals would swear unqualified allegiance to the United States and forswear any form of allegiance to the Emperor of Japan.
As the war progressed they released a lot of the internees but if y0u answered no, no then they kept you in the internment camp.
So someone who is “in the spirit” of the No No Boys is not loyal to, and would not fight for, the US, by her own proud admission. “Social Justice” and patriotism are opposites.
Ultimately if this low IQ of certain races does turn out to be true we can fix it with programs outside of the university system to supplement the income of the various groups impacted.
For example: Low IQer becomes a mail carrier or cab driver making only 30-40 thousand annually…there is nothing wrong with giving this person, through the tax code, a credit to bring their salary up to a living wage (whatever that is defined as in that state)…
However this business of giving everybody some form of affirmative action benefit no matter the IQ is getting a little ridiculous and it leading to all of this identity politics and gaming of the system to get various benefits which should actually only be reserved for the low IQer who cannot make it otherwise in our technologically advanced societies…
Good grief. Her father is from Punta del Este («El Monaco del Sur»!):
A more meaningful headline would be “My White Father Wants me to Marry a White Man.”
The “Latino” shit is sensationalist (and, ultimately, meaningless) nonsense designed to manipulate and confuse the entire affair. Her father, like all psychologically healthy people, wants grandchildren who look like him (to be concise about it).
Italian fathers, Canadian fathers, Irish fathers…they all want their children to marry white men, even though these fathers may speak Italian, French, and English – what in the Hell should her (white) father’s speaking Spanish have to do with anything?!
It’s the same with Negro and Oriental fathers – language is less influential than race in such contexts.
Or as the Chinese stamp collector said, “philately will get you everywhere.”
Moron sailer chinese fathers have much more influence on our kids education than our women dont project your fantasies on our race you incel
haha…meant to say “prior” to that, stupid Siri. And remind me when will computers be smarter than humans?
Being a sub-continental myself (although not the same variety as Sawant and Paypal type), I be the first to warn the heritage white population of this country about the threat from them. Their ancestors created the caste system in India where they convinced 80% of the population to take a lower status in society without firing a single bow, it has been the most successful apartheid/slavery/serf hybrid system for over 2500 years now. In doing so they wrecked a incredibly advanced and egalitarian society which had toilets in every people’s home 2500 years ago, bringing them them to today’s terribly tragedy where close to third of the kids are malnourished and half the people crap in streets. But these people are not affected because they sit on top of the pyramid.
Now they are trying to do do the same thing here. Will you all descendents of William Wallace please notice?
With a 100 Trillion or more in unfunded entitlements and military pensions, half of Latin America tee-ing up to migrate here, can the USA be classified as rich ?
Quite a few Germans too.
The problem is that the free-market evangelicalist mindset is so deeply entrenched among the BoomerCons that they’ll never see the immense political potential to be gained as the Democrats fatefully embrace woke capital, with all that comes with it.
I’m not sure what is to be done about this. The experience of my parent’s generation with the job market, employers, what is required to get middle class status, and so on is so radically, totally different from mine’s that at best, we talk past each other. People who know they will never be rich and can expect to be worse off than their parents in every metric of life, no matter what they attempt or how hard they work, are not going to be sold on modern GOP economic orthodoxy. It’s just not going to happen.
Most ordinary people want the same things they always did, generational differences aside: a good livelihood for honest work, the ability to marry and start and raise a family. That’s good news: it means that the amount of true believer SJW types out there are way less than you’d get the impression, going online or watching TV. But it also means that regardless of how nutty the Democrats get, unless the GOP stops treating economics like religion, they’ve got no future. Yes, they should ditch other annoying vote-losing tendencies as well, such as embracing losing wars in the Middle East, but it really is the economy, stupid…
Nice little lie by implication and omission.
Loving v. Virginia was in 1967. There were NO miscegenation laws in force on the West Coast then. Miscegenation laws had been declared constitutionally invalid in California (where her parents probably met and married) in 1948 in Perez v. Sharp. Other West Coast states will have followed suit no later than the 1950s.
By 1967, Japanese war brides were a well known phenomenon on the West Coast. Ishisaka’s attempt to create a stir, more than 50 years later, is disingenuous and seems desparate.
There’s an additional factor besides unfamiliarity at work: I’ve noticed that Americans who haven’t lived in Asia or have no connection to that part of the world tend to really have a hard time grasping just how contemptuous these societies are of darker-skinned people in general, blacks in particular. Petty racist attitudes toward black people in the United States, once upon a time so omnipresent and casual, now has the social stigma akin to felonry, to the point where people will bend over backwards to not be accused of being racist. (One glaring example: Jeffrey Dahmer might have butchered dozens of young men, but as early as the 1990s, he was at pains to state he was no racist!)
Many of the new immigrants, needless to say, come from societies where this is not the case.
It’s hard to see how tensions in the Coalition of the Fringes do not develop over this.
You forgot White Feminist women. Deny them their Matriarchal privilege, you’ll have a hell of a fight on your hands. You won’t just be racist and sexist, you’ll be a rapist.
I suppose that bending is buying an expensive house far from work, all for the ‘good schools’? How long before they figure THAT one out? Every suburbanite, a racist.
OT
Dunno if Steve has talked about this yet, but yeah: drug cartel has just defeated the Mexican army in battle. Totally the kind of country we should asymptotically approach open borders with.
ZMan has a point: one thing that would really, really enrage a lot of American citizens is if American cities-not just certain areas of certain ones-become war zones all because the government is unwilling to prevent Mexico’s messes from spilling over here. Theoretically, Trump and Obrador should have a lot they could agree on-namely, the need to curtail the power of oligarchs, and that a key way of doing that in Mexico is adding pressure from the lower classes rather than letting them out the escape hatch north-but TweetMan is off busy jerking off the Chamber of Commerce.
Yep, SJW yenta.
No I think she really is this slutty and stupid.
I love how she calls white Latino men “white-passing.” In her syphilitic mind, Latino and white are mutually exclusive.
This article is at least 70% horseshit. Though the part I believe is that she doesn’t give her white mother’s individual humanity a second thought in any of this.
Government decisions, e.g. who gets into State U, who gets a sinecure at State U, etc, will always be political.
Make government as small as possible (<< 5% of its current size) and thereby minimize the damage.
It’s the wine country from Yakima to Walla Walla, all hispanic. That’s why I stopped drinking wine.
Actually closer to 70%. But if you just landed in Bellevue, WA, you’d think you’ve landed in Beijing, or if you go to Costco-Redmond or anywhere near Microsoft, you’d think you’re in Mumbai.
LOL fight fire with fire. Liberals are the most racist of all people. Asians need to wake the hell up and start voting GOP. Unfortunately the effing Indians are stuck being Trump hating libtards.
Well, what about those movies where the CIA shoots off these big caravans of SUVs careening over the border and just kills them up a powerful mess of carteleers? What about them, huh?
Uruguay is the only country that has succesfully comited genocide. In their central park in Montevideo. they have a statue of the last four indians in the country, who were shipped to Paris and died in a circus outside of Paris. And guess what, there are no indians left to complain about it. And guess what no one outside of Uruguay complains about it.
In other fun Seattle news not fit to print. In the article 10 ways you can contribute to the recovery of Puget Sound

There’s no such thing as “Affirmative Action.” That term is supposed to imply that the government has a right to control people’s lives. But that’s not true. It should be called “Illegal Interference.”
Nothing that the government does can be called “Affirmative.” Remember that the government takes tax money, and then spends it. So it would be even more accurate to call it “Tax-payer funded control over how other people should live.” But the government wants to be seen as “good” (not tyrannical) so it creates euphemisms for itself. That’s why we have “Family Court” and “Restorative Justice” and “Reparations.” All of those are “good.”
When it comes to college admissions, neither blacks nor Asians should even be considered. Blacks are a bunch of criminals; the only thing they do “at college” is fuck and smoke pot. And they ruin the campus for everyone else. They harass white coed girls shamelessly. Asians have thier own culture, which is not compatible with American culture. We want our kids to learn about Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, and Aristotle. But Universities have redesigned the curriculum, so that Asian students will feel more comfortable. So now the kids learn about international history.
American Universities are supposed to be places of high ideals, gentility, and good manners. They are also supposed to be think-tanks where the American experience can be examined, improved, and cherished. That means lots of philosophical debate, historical narratives, and a genuine sense of community. But with a bunch of blacks and Asians walking around, that can never happen.
“aggressively attacks any who oppose them — usually by calling their opponents racist and supporters of discrimination”
Judge Naomi out of her own mouth. This is exactly what she is doing in her article.
” found myself dating minority men with roots everywhere from Haiti to Iran, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Pakistan, and beyond”
Yes, because Pakistan and Sweden have similar risk profiles for abusive males. Good lord, this woman is not only a slut, but semi-suicidal.
“I left the States and started traveling full-time, having my share of fun in countries like Morocco…”
Morocco. Chop.
For a girl with a masculine chin and a nose like a potato, she sure thinks highly of herself.
“Asians have thier own culture, which is not compatible with American culture”
This is true. I like East Asians, particularly Chinese. However, when you bring millions of them into your country, they bring their culture with them. An explosion of cheating is happening at North American universities, and the Asian population is to blame.
They have almost no interest in our culture, apart from picking up the technical skills and making money. Not that there is anything wrong with the Chinese sticking to their own worldview and prioritizing success and money over all else, but facts are facts.
Here in northern NJ you can get the Mumbai feel in the lovely town of Parsippany.
If you want to feel as though you’re in any part of Squatemala, just head on over to the fine community of Dover.
Doesn’t matter that they oppose this AA thingy, even though entertaining in the short run.
They will still mostly vote for democrats.
The only course of action to save America is to stop immigration + robust deportations.
Everything else is a distant second place.
I don’t know, when I attended college (a ‘not ivy league but ivy grows on the walls’ caliber institution), I, a mathematics major, routinely entertained spirited discussions with the Chinese immigrant students concerning favorite theorems, alternative routes of proof, ways to attack a problem set, nonstandard problem solving heuristics and strategies, etc. With the exception of two or three spare math-olympiad credentialed, full scholarship, high-octane, high iq performing oddballs (who were better than the Asians but were outnumbered by them), most of the whites could barely eek out basic difference of cubes identities, trigonometric identities, u-substitutions, and elementary reasoning about number theory which the East Asians had clearly internalized from around the age of 14 or 15. As well, many of the Chinese maintained, on the side, a healthy disdain for China’s communist past, a disdain for the cultural destructiveness of Chinese communism, a curiosity concerning market oriented free societies. They were way more interesting than the median mediocre inept white! Even the more intellectually oriented whites tended to squander their energies on social justice warrior studies or kitsch dadaist art projects.
Preach it!
The shift in urban tawdriness , density, and squalor which one experiences when driving on route 10 east bound from the relatively nice stretches of Randolph/Denville/Morristown going into Parsippany is surely a spectacle to behold.
And in the occasional event that my father would drive me to the Dover train station in the early morning for me to attend some high school academic tournament in NYC, he would always make sure to have his loaded pistol and a baseball bat ready while we waited for the train.
I’ve only been to Montevideo but anyone with noticeable non-white features are vanishingly rare there. Even if this girl’s dad is 20% colored, her mom is white American and FAIAP this girl is white. She’s only a minority insofar as she desperately wants to be. It’s clear she despises her parents.
As a White Hispanic myself, I agree. This is a self-referential love letter written to herself. She has no “otherness” and it bothers here, so she has contrived this narrative that people just couldn’t understand her “Latinx-ness”…nevermind that having a father from Uruguay and being raised in Kansas, makes you about as “other” as a 4th Generation Italian-American living in Kentucky.
No one who knows her or knew her growing up would probably even understand what she wrote. She’s trying to sell herself a storyline. We have in our community the same thing the black community does with Redbones. Sometimes the most militant and race-conscious of all.
Since when has the constitution been considered in this country? Surely not since 1865.
Before the residents of Columbiania seek to diversify their population they would be advised to take a look at the history of the city of Dubuque, IA. It was a nice, quiet town with the low crime rate attributable to a white monoculture. Then a liberal was elected to the office of mayor. Seeing the ‘evil’s of being crime free, he arranged the import of several black families from Chicago. Dubuque now has the same drug and violent crime problems present in other cities where blacks are domiciled in numbers relatively close to their national representation.

Do you suppose that her pictures show the few instances where she has her knees together?
She saw the diminutive manhood on a SE Asian, and said, “It’s twoo, it’s twoo”, ala Blazing Saddles.
Japanese in particular tend to be smaller than about any other group. Japanese condoms are specially made on smaller mandrels. Japanese women think average white men are impressive.
Koreans and Chinese are closer to world average. Really huge guys tend to be from mixed race groups, which is why Dominicans and blackish or pardo Cubans tend to be heavily represented amongst the “hung jury”.
