re: Whites have an unfair advantage. BIPOC communities can’t get ahead.

I bet if you asked whites whether faced racism or were disadvantaged
That's not true either.
56% of white Americans say that being white helps a lot/little in the US compared with 14% that say it hurts while 28% say it neither helps or hurts.

So whites do not say that they're disadvantaged at all. 56% of white Americans say they were advantaged.
The polling for other racial groups on their own disadvantages is vastly different.

We do have an advantage its called work ethic and no desire to sit around waiting for the government to enrich our lives. It also helps that we value family and desire better for those we love and are willing to work for it.

Is abortion your love with dem policy?
It's more a hate of the Republican party.
I liked Mitt Romney but Trump's turned me off the Republican party for a long time.

Indian-Americans in the convenience store and motel business seems to do well.

That sounds emotionally driven.
Just admit you love dem policies.
Be honest. If you can. I know it challenging for progressives.

Typical low IQ party hack.
Most grown ups have realized this is fake, which is why there are more non R and D than R or D.
I'm going to guess that your issue is gayness. Most anti Republicans are gay

Understood. You're more of a socialist/ globalist/ warmonger type. Makes sense. That party's over there, to the left.

These aren't really fair comparisons.
The Indians are sending their very smartest and well educated over here. They aren't just sending peasants from the streets. I am sure it's the same with Filipinos and Taiwanese.
It would be like saying that PhD's from MIT constitute the average American. No, not really.

Be very careful. A lot of those 'Indians' are Pakistani and they don't like you getting it wrong.

Our neighborhood Indian store is always bemoaning long hours and low revenue. He seems miserable.

And if he's in San Fran, he still has to put up with people taking a dump in the street.

Not quite considering that whites are actually much more likely to inherit farmland in the first place AND land was disproportionately offered to white Americans in the 19th and 20th century, hence whites do not have less opportunity to do so.
An individual, and that’s what we all are, who is white and did not inherit farm land is disadvantaged against a non white who didn’t inherit farmland.

I don't love Dem policies in the slightest. As you can see, I'm a pretty big critic of policies like affirmative action.
The election denying and conspiracy theories that Republicans seem to embrace just repels me from the Republican party.
I didn't mind Mitt Romney or Bush for all his faults. Can't stand Trump and I'm not going to vote for Republicans until they ditch the guy and Trumpism.

This is a prime example of why I'm not going to vote for Republicans.
While I'm not gay, I don't care if someone is gay which is more than I can say for Republicans.

Democrats care deeply if someone is gay, they will give them advantages straight people don’t get..

We're products of the system around us whether it be the value system we grew up, the state that you belong to, and the language you speak.
Otherwise, there's nothing distinguishing an American from a non-American or a Westerner from a non-Western person or a Muslim from a Christian. What's the point in having borders if we're all individuals?!
So we're not just individuals. If we were individuals and not products of the system around us, we wouldn't vote in ways that fit our demographic.
One could design a model to predict how someone votes given their:
Job, Age, Ethnicity and State.
If we behaved like individuals, there would be far more heterogeneity in the way we vote.
African-Americans wouldn't vote 95% Democrat.
White Southerners wouldn't vote 90+% Republican.
We're not just individuals because we definitely don't behave that way as members of the voting public.

Simple question: Do you believe the media is objective or work for the Dem party?
