    There's this thing called the internet where you can read about countries.... Or I can go down to my local hood and see how warmly I would be welcome there

    Sounds more like a personal problem rather than reality.

    The Tea Party Trumpers feel emboldened to show their true colors and wear their bigotry on their sleeves. They had to import Orban to CPAC to give the new far RW party someone and something to model themselves after. Really pitiful for Schlapps...digging really deep into the pit of anti-democracy and away from the US constitution.

    Yeah, no kidding. It's a rabbit begging to be chased down a dark hole.

    OK I didn't see in the article what he said at CPAC that had righties cheering that you found "reprehensible."

    Your denial of reality certainly sounds like a personal problem but it's not mine

    You noticed those key omissions as well? You don't need that you're supposed to just be outraged because of who it was.

    You're the one that's projecting your fears onto others, in this case, Jamaicans. Your duplicity is rather infamous now.

    Quite the contrary of having fear I have common sense to stay out of an area that is known for being hostile.

    Whether that is in this country or a foreign country. When's the last time you went to Jamaica or down to your local Hood?

    You liberals talk a good game but you don't walk the walk that you talk.

    Your inability to address a post without taking a little cheap shot at a person is very well known by now. It's pretty cheap but I just consider the source and move on

    You have yet to demonstrate "common sense", and you're definitely projecting with that last sentence.

    Wait a second, you're the one painting with a broad stroke an entire country, but I'm the one taking a cheap shot? LOL

    That sure says a lot about you.

    The topic of Jamaica is all yours, but now that you have been called on it, you want to change the topic? Ok, what other crazy ideas you want to paintbrush?

    It all falls under "bigotry".

    Try going back to read because I'm not the first person that mentioned Jamaica.

    But anyhow regardless of what the topic is or where it drifts you seem completely incapable of sticking to it instead of trying to get your petty little insults in at the poster. Hopefully you will gain more self-esteem one day where you're not insecure enough that you have to attack others

    Because the privileged Gentry are haughty and view them with disdain. They only value them as tokens. Real freedom liberty and power? That the privileged Gentry work to remain in control of.

    #STOPASIANHATE: Higher Ed Establishment Joins Forces v. Asian Students at SCOTUS.

    [​IMG]
    A generation ago they were similarly united against the Jews.

    "A lawsuit brought against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, for admissions discrimination against Asian applicants is scheduled for argument in the U.S. Supreme Court on October 31, 2022. It could end Affirmative Action as we know it."

    We can hope.

    Brief filed with the Court:
    "The grand judicial experiment of excusing racial discrimination in university admissions in the hope it would promote the educational objective of diversity of viewpoint has failed, and accordingly, this Court should overrule or modify its holding in Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 306 (2003) (“Grutter”). Despite the Court permitting the use of race in higher education admissions, viewpoint diversity is increasingly endangered on campus. Since Grutter, the range of viewpoints permitted on campus, particularly on matters regarding race, has narrowed. It’s time to return to the constitutional prohibition against racial discrimination without an exception for education."

    Amen!

    [​IMG]

    The Edu-Gentry's backslap of Asians goes against everything we are as a Free People.

    "The dirty little secret of higher-ed admissions is that achieving a desired “diverse” racial mix means discriminating against Asian applicants — or at least, secret until Students for Fair Admissions exposed it."

    The Extremely Left Wing Edu-Gentry defend this shocking treatment of Asians:

    “An Asian American in the fourth-lowest decile has virtually no chance of being admitted to Harvard (0.9%); but an African American in that decile has a higher chance of admission (12.8%) than an Asian American in the top decile (12.7%).”

    A Black D Student has a greater chance of admission than an Asian A student? And they defend that as "just" and "reasonable".

    "Such unequal treatment followed the 2003 Supreme Court decision in Grutter v. Bollinger permitting schools’ temporary, limited use of race as one of many factors for the desired educational objective of viewpoint diversity. Harvard and other schools have used this loophole to drive de facto illegal racial quotas, using admissions subterfuges like personal scores and a “holistic” approach reminiscent of the methodologies Harvard developed a century ago to limit Jewish enrollment…."

    Yes. It's reminiscent of higher Ed's past anti-Semitism.

    "Not a single college or university supported the Asian students. To the contrary, several dozen briefs were filed against SFFA on behalf of hundreds of colleges, universities, higher-education and professional-school associations, teachers unions, more than 1,000 professors and deans and even college basketball coaches."

    Asian hate among the Edu-Gentry is a real problem that needs to be pulled up by the roots.

    "The American Bar Association, which accredits law schools, bluntly demanded the court “not ban race-conscious admissions policies.” The University of California president and chancellors argued that “universities must retain the ability to engage in the limited consideration of race.”

    The ABA is a radical fringe left wing group. They have no business accrediting law schools. They are pushing a position that the KKK would have agreed with.

    "A group of highly competitive schools including most of the Ivy League claimed that without racial preferences these schools could not achieve their desired racial mix…."

    Racist bastards.

    "Chief Justice John Roberts once wrote, hold: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”"

    He's right.

    [​IMG]
    May the Court's decision result in a more fair and just society.

    And like the topic title, this anti-asian bigotry cannot be spun and hopefully it will not continue.

    Hungarians have their unique language, their own culture, a long history.

    What is wrong with wanting to preserve that? They love their culture.

    Which part? I listened to the video on your link, and it certainly sounded like the same speech to me.

    I heard him clearly, talking about not tolerating homosexuality, not allowing immigrants in, not tolerating other races or what he called "the mixing of races."

    I heard your fellow conservatives clearly as well, cheering every word.

    He talked about the media and what they would have in their news about him. That is where I heard him mention these things.

    Is what minute was it on the video because I didn't hear this being claimed as his view and them cheering it.

    Both Poland and Hungary have strong leanings to negative réactions to minority groups.
    Call it what you will. The two have created more problems for the EU than any others in the area of human rights.

    Because it defines a fundamental principle of human rights which are necessarily followed in the EU. Every member signs to promise to adhere to the UN human rights which is closely mirrored by the EU.
    Orban has attracted more sanctions and fines for defying them than any other country.
    Having said that , poland has been very welcoming to ukrainian refugees, coming from "next door". Of course ukrainiens are white Christians...

    All of that is nothing but projection. Look at their Orange Lord. Never takes responsibility for any of his bad life decisions.
