saying Asians in general are much better at math is racist. It's also true.


No, in my opinion, that's not racist. That's a positive stereotype based on race. It would be racist to say "I hate Asians because they are better at math than I am." Also note, you can't be a white supremacists based on that statement.

So are all stereotypes bad? On a side note do you consider yourself more left or right on the political spectrum?

It’s so damn warped.

Black people want to stay away from white people and they’re not only accommodated, they’re celebrated.

White people want to stay away from black people, or even hint at it, and they’re fired and vilified.

Such bullshite. It doesn’t go both ways. It’s racist hypocrisy.

Some are true some are not true. That should be the measuring stick instead of whether someone is offended or not.
Indians own a store next my house. My son refers to the owner as his Indian friend. My daughter says he's racist. Well the guy is in fact Indian. Is it racist to point that out? I can kinda see both sides. Why single out his race? But would he be ashamed to be called Indian? I don't think so but I don't say hello my Indian friend when I walk in. I just say hello.

I'm to right of the spectrum with most things but also an atheist and not a fan of how law enforcement treats citizens.

Scott Adams isn't racist, as far as I know. But he's not stupid, either.

I find that every stereotype is based on statistical facts. So, if it's not racist to say that statistically Asians score better on math sections of the SAT, then it's not racist to say that Asians are better at math.

He's not dumb. He knew those remarks were going to cost him. He must be ready to retire.

Some things are more important than money, but I suspect he'll be fine if he were completely canceled. Financial independence allows you to do things you otherwise wouldn't do.

You have spent a pretty good chunk of one whining on this thread.

It's only 3 pages so I looked.

Your first post was at 1:40 PM.
Your reply to me was at 6:01 PM.

You are a halfwit, spent 4+ hours of your precious Saturday hovering over this thread to blather some more.

More white people need to say this. It’s true. How is it OK that 27% don’t think it’s OK to be white.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Boycott everything whites have invented and see how much you hate them.

This sucks. For multiple reasons.

Read Flynn’s “Citizen’s Guide to 5G Warfare” and look at stories like this.

My neighbor is black and married a white woman. They have two children. How are their children supposed to respond to this?

My neighbors and colleagues who are of different races don’t talk about these things. Some things are better left unsaid. We all get along just fine.

Stop falling for the divisive polls and narratives out there. It’s how this nation will fail.

Adams should read the book, too. I’m surprised he said something this strong. It’s not that he’s wrong. It’s just that this narrative that races can’t get along is going to try to become a self fulfilling prophecy if people don’t see it for what it is: a false narrative that is being fed to the public.
