  1. The Feminist DEI Fraud. Coming Apart was a book by Charles Murray the Libertarian, long ago. He noticed that Americans were starting to marry and sort out socially, along class lines. Intermarriage between classes was more common, long ago. Tucker Carlson cites him as an influence on his thinking. What are the problems this brings up? People who go to college tend to come from good families. And the children tend to often inherit genetic advantage. If Mom's a dentist, Dad's an engineer, chances are pretty good, the children will be bright. And have a good home to grow up in. And have their parent's money and social connections in life. Their parents will believe in education and start the kids out at a young age, headed for college. Then feminism came along. Girls should be let into college. DEI pushes advantage to girls. But who goes to college? Girls from the upper class. Mom may be a Dentist. Dad may be an Engineer. Feminism says women & girls were not historically advantaged like men in the past. So then we rig the rules of society, to let more girls into college. But who benefits? Poor girls? Not a chance. It's girls of the upper classes, who benefits. It's mostly them at college. Then at college, the girl is likely to meet and marry a young man, of similar background. They marry, have kids, the virtuous cycle continues, regardless of the political affiliation of the parents. So when a young woman with a college degree meets and marries a young man with a college degree, guess what? She gets to use his money. His money helps her buy a house. But feminist analysis of society does not measure women's progress, based on class or marriage, taking into account the parent's money, the husband's money. It only takes into account how much women are paid....the fictitious "wage gap"...Warren Farrell the former feminist, friend of Gloria Steinem wrote a book about it, debunking the "wage gap"....doesn't exist in reality because women simply make different choices than men. So feminist accounting of social advantage doesn't take into account family, parents, husbands....or even class advantage. Therefore the enterprise of the feminist analysis is a complete fraud.

  2. Japanese Americans and discrimination. I met an old guy who was in a Japanese internment camp. It was a real thing, for a long time. But has it stopped? Are they still oppressed? But in college in the 1970s, I was in the library. Reference Section. Picked up a book of statistics. Official American gov't stats. The online version is around now. Book, "A Statistical Abstract of the United States". I looked up income data on various groups. I was interested since I had Japanese friends, wondered if they were being discriminated against, like I was told, they were. I was a bit surprised. The data did not fit the narrative. Even back then, Japanese, Chinese Americans were out-earning white Americans, went to college more often. Arthur Hu was a Seattle area computer programmer who was interested in the topic. He kept track of the data, one Asian Americans, for decades, on his site, something like "Asian American Index of Diversity". Michelle Malkin the Republican writer interviewed him. We called Arthur "The Chinese American version of Rush Limbaugh". The left hated him. He exposed via data, that so many false myths had been built up, by the political left. Same thing is happening today. Japanese Americans, Chinese, Korean, Filipino Americans, now Indian American like Vivek Ramaswamy or Kamala Harris earn far higher income, than whites. Kamala's mom was Indian. Glenn Greenwald has the data. Video, "2nd Gentleman to WEF"....11 minutes in. If Kamala wants to bring in DEI if she is elected, if she actually believes in levelling group differences in income, she's up against a real problem. What is it? She's half Indian. She'd have to discriminate against herself. Her husband is Jewish. Another high earning group. If Kamala wants to level differences in income, she'd have to discriminate against Jewish Americans like her husband. As Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk agreed on a recent video on this Rubin Report site, basically DEI is anti-Semitic. Very true. If she actually believes in DEI, it would also mean, if fairly implemented, we'd also have to bring in quotas on Asian Americans. To me, this DEI stuff is anti-American, punishes hard work, achievement. Of course, most people would figure out: in real life, the more we bring in DEI, the more behind the scenes rigging of the process, we'll see.
