Why does it matter if SSL is commonly understood to reference the South Side Locos? Clearly people have been affected negatively by them. If you aren't going to stand up for them, how do we believe you really stand for black people and

You're right, that too... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS This is a travesty. Honestly don't see myself using or promoting Open * anymore until they get this issue sorted out.

On the other hand, there are Americans who firmly believe that highly educated people like yourself from poorer countries shouldn't be giving your knowledge and work to first world western countries that are already wealthy. They think

I don't have a strong opinion on whether you should or shouldn't be here, but I wanted to give a different perspective. It's really only tangentially related to this whole discussion. A lot of Americans have been taught that

One human is complex already. People, groups of humans are even more problematic. Social media is a hard problem because people are hard to get a handle on. And I think that's good. People should be allowed to be skeptical, to have anx

People respond to incentives. They must've figured out at some point that using attractive models for advertising sells better to normal, average people. Not all models you have on hand will be attractive enough for the magazine, so th

I was being facetious anyway. "x is bloat" is a common saying in free software communities.

A while ago I switched to a habit of eating only one big meal a day to get the bulk of my nutrition. The timing doesn't matter that much, just whatever is convenient and what feels good for me any given day. It is flexible though. It m

There's no positive stereotypes. Given the stereotype that Asians are smart, what happens to impoverished Asians who did not have a good education and upbringing and aren't as smart as others? They get demoralized and are cast asi

Why is that okay for them to do that? Genuinely curious.

But the possibility exists. That you can make money by simply trading stocks, without actually putting much in too much work and time (outside of research and education). I have a hunch, just a feeling, that the powers that be prefer that w

On the flip side, if this trader instead made 700k on options, he'd be celebrated as a hero who beat the market at such a young age and Robinhood would be an empowering role in elevating the young and disenfranchised. That is just the

>If a white person preferentially hires or promotes other whites, you'd claim those whites benefited from privilege. But you won't say the same for Asians, Untrue, I have not claimed this anywhere or have implied such a thing.

I think you are misreading something. I am arguing against the suggestion that Asians have unearned privilege which allowed them to become successful in America.

by Ghjklov 6y ago
I don't understand why you are arguing these points at me. I didn't say anything about whites. Unarmed Asians being killed less by police and Asians being capable of racism doesn't mean Asian Americans are privileged lol. Wha

It's the kind of token gesture that actually just makes people more skeptical or angry at PoC who most of the time had nothing to do with the gesture.

>Would it also be okay to suggest Asians are over-represented because of unearned Asian privilege? That would be an incredibly stupid and unequivocally false thing to suggest because the odds are actually stacked against Asians, and they

Nothing to see here except devs covering their asses from accusations. As a PoC, I recognize that actions like this do nothing to change the system and they are really just diversions from actually putting in effort to make a real impact.

I think "not as frequently" is a understatement. Cats are orders of magnitudes less dangerous to humans than dogs are, it's not even something I have to think about when I walk outside. Meanwhile, often times, the only thing

People don't believe they'll literally drop dead next month. But they believe they'll get kicked out of their apartment if they can't pay rent. If that happens, they might end up losing their job after not being able to
