Illegal immigrants should, as a general rule, be deported.
(2) There are a few exceptions, i.e. real asylum claims, but the intentional conflation of invited immigrants with un-invited immigrants banned by law ("A path for EVERYONE!!!") is yet another thing that would have been utterly remarkable to ~everyone until very recently.
(3) No hate for hard-working foreign citizens who technically aren't supposed to be here. I'm an aggro-nuff person, and would 100% sneak into a richer state if I were (say) a journeyman carpenter.

But, I wouldn't expect THEIR COPS to support me in this amoral personal mission.
(4) ~Every non-pure-Libertarian argument against what I'm saying here boils down to: "The USA is evil, and deserves what she gets. Look what happened to the Indians!"

But, I DID look at what happened to the Indians, including some of my relatives...and so favor strong borders.

Actual racism has declined 80-90% since the 1960s, but the level of media/activist focus on this problem has remained stable or even increased, largely for economic reasons.
(2) "Where'd Reilly get them numbers (?)," pt. 1.

Anonymous professional polls asking people about their level of support for racial segregation, inter-racial dating, etc. are conducted literally every year. The attached shows changing levels of support for inter-race marriage.
(3) "Where'd Reilly get them numbers (?)," pt. 2.

However, data-mapping resources like Elephrame indicate that (per most 1960s baselines I've seen), 'anti-racist' activism may be increasing. There have been 5,799 BLM protests alone since 2014 or so...elephrame.com/textbook/BLM

Reading the @ManhattanInst report on U.S. race relations, from @epkaufm (media4.manhattan-institute.org/sites/default/…) is fascinating- if depressing. As I've noted before, we don't seem to be facing any measurable increase in racism whatsoever, but instead a moral panic about it.

Some take-aways...
(2) First - while that troubling 6-8% core of bigots we see in housing rental, etc, remains a problem - racism empirically is WAY down. Per page 9, only about 10% of whites object to inter-race marriage on well-done anon surveys, and 17% of ALL marriages are inter-racial.
(3) But, people don't know this. Per "Key Findings," 8/10 Black Americans and 6/10 liberals whites believe Black men are more likely to be SHOT BY POLICE than killed in auto wrecks.

That's insane. For context: there are ~50K fatal and 600K disabling/injuring wrecks per year.

No one denies racism exists. The center-right Black "1776" position is simply that this variable does not explain all problems in POC communities or differences in performance between groups. A 6% bias in apartment rental does not cause a 72% 'illegitimacy' rate.
(2) There are 3 problems with the "ethnic conflict explains all ills" narrative: (a) many of today's problems (fatherlessness) did not exist when racism was much worse, (b) many do not exist for POC immigrants today, and (c) all exist at very high levels for poor WHITE people.
(3) There's a lot to unpack here. ~Equal rates of bigotry exist against groups that perform very differently. Polls showing 8% of Americans wouldn't vote for a qualified Black President ALSO find 9% rates of bias vs Hispanics and Jews...and 40% vs Muslims. news.gallup.com/poll/183791/su…

This is an actual breakdown of the most recent available national data concerning violence against Asians.
(2) It's interesting that I'm not really dunking on any one group here. Violence against Asians - the last line of the chart - is remarkably diverse: 27.5% Black, 24.1% white, 21.4% Hispanic and "other," and only ~24% ASIAN. But, the "white supremacy" thesis is weak.
(3) This an interesting example of stories we choose NOT to tell. The white-on-Black crime that causes media hysterics is only 10-11% of crime v. Blacks. Even B-on-w crime is max 16% of crime v whites. Anti-Asian crime is 75% (!!!) inter-race; no one cared until this Spring.

Serious if unoriginal question: why are the people/rulers of mighty nations "of color," like Japan, China, Ethiopia, Nigeria, India, Mongolia, Arabia and the UAE...just etc...never referred to as "colonizers?"
(2) I ask this partly to troll SJWs...but also because I'm not ashamed "our" Generals batted .499 against "the whites" - and would have hit for a much higher average if the Great Khans hadn't run into syphilis. Defeat isn't some kind of mark of sophistication.
(3) It has been noted that I "just straight-up ignored" the Ottoman, Moorish, Musan, and post-Muhammad Muslim conquests. Good point. I see you TOO, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Morocco, and Mali!!! #more_colonizers

There is no logical/mathematical argument that people should take an anti-viral vaccine that is 95+% effective - per Israeli data - against a virus that itself poses a 1/5,000 risk of death to healthy non-seniors...and then continue wearing 2-3 face masks and socially isolating.
(2) I keep saying this, because the underlying argument here is so dangerous for freedom: "If you have a 1/20 chance...of causing me a 1/5K risk...given (say) 1/100 odds you HAVE The Thing on Day X...stay inside!!!"

This logic could be used to ban literally anything.
(3) For those saying my first post only breaks down the risks to ME...ok: the risk you pose to someone ELSE post vaxx would be (1/20+ (your daily risk of having COVID) x 1/200-5,000 (average risk to them) x 1/20+ (vaccine risk reduction)). That's a 1/80,000 to 1/2,000,000 risk.
