At 8:38 Richard claims 40 to 50 percent of fortune 500 CEOs are foreign born. That is almost certainly false. This was my analysis of Fortune 100 CEOs:
I think Taylor overstates Chinese American loyalty to China. (20 minute mark). Though to be fair Chinese Americans have a more positive opinion of China than other ethnicities:
Richard says that race isn't important except for blacks, but we should look at actual data instead of his feelings on things. All non-white groups have a strong racial identity, and everyone thinks race relations are bad.
And of course it is worth mentioning that CA would be a swing state without demographic change, white Californians voted for Bush in 04 and Romney.
Minor quip, Richard says there is a Jewish left in Israel but it isn't very big. Well that is an understatement!
At around 34 minutes they talk about Hispanic MAGAs. Jared should have brought up the racial differences within the coalition:
At 35 minutes Richard says that altruism is a strength of whites and the west. Well Richard, what do you expect the west to look like when it isn't run by whites anymore? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Richard also says that whites aren't going to be able to preserve their majority, and it would be like trying to keep Brazil white. Well Richard would Brazil be a positive or negative direction for the US?
Overall I thought there were many times where Hanania wasn't hammered as hard as he should have been...
Another example: Richard claims that people really care about their family and not their race and that is why there are anti nepotism laws, but there are of course anti racism laws as well.
Richard says that people eschew race and culture at the expense of economics but most people don't want to immigrate even if they live in poor areas:
White westerners are one of the few groups in the world that doesn't have to choose between economic prosperity or living around their own people and culture but they are throwing that away...
Taylor should have brought up the fact that NY and NJ were whiter than WV in 1940. Wealth made those places diverse, diversity didn't make them wealthy.
1/ Thread looking at paper from 2014 from dissecting claims of a labor shortage. This data is all old at this point but we see similar narratives today. On one side people claiming a labor shortage and on the other side, college graduates claiming they can't get jobs.
2/ The idea that America is falling behind in skills goes back a long time.
Some excerpts from WSJ article about the 10 million population cap referendum in Switzerland. The journal admits the historic wave of immigration to the West hasn't solved economic problems:
Economics professor from Canada admits that immigration hasn't solved Canada's problems.
Economic output per worker has stagnated across some of the countries that have accepted the most immigrants.
1/Short thread on race and Greek life. This legal scholar recently filed some FOIA requests for public universities to get some data on mainstream frats and sororities (IFC/Panhellenic) and this is what the data looks like overall:
2/ The IFC fraternities they looked at were slightly less white at around 72%. Everywhere greeks life was at least 15% whiter than the university population as a whole.
3/ Comparison between % of undergrads who are black vs panhellenic sororities. At the schools that turned over chapter level data almost half of chapters had no black members.
1/ Short thread. The WSJ asked business historians to rank the greatest entrepreneurs and business leaders in American history. Here are the racial demographics:
