White people are the least racist race ever. How did we end up thinking they were the most racist?

ADOS are about to learn the hard way that the indian and middle eastern migrants have significantly higher in-group preferences than the white people they are replacing. In a global world you now compete against the world, not just white people

I think that a lot of black people dont really understand who their future competitors are. The Chinese and Indians (esp. their top 10%) are good at STEM and business. And they greatly outnumber the amount of white people in the world. You are trading one master for another

If white people were to vanish, ADOS are not next in line. The middle easterners enslaved africans far longer than europeans did, hell they're still doing it. The Indians are caste based and you are not in it. Asians are smart and wont tolerate your crap like white people do

smart guy just won re-election in a very swingy half-way upstate NY district filled with lots of whypipple (including plenty of Karen types in station wagons.) Tweets like this one is how he does it, I think:

Very interesting sign on a Muslim's food truck in Portland; don't ignore the image of Statue of Liberty next to it, part of the package:

In reply to more specific for the dense:

Plus Mexican-Americans may distinguish "Mexicans" from Guadalajara, Mexico D.F., Coahuila, Durango, Veracruz, Sonora, Yucatan, Chiapas, Jalisco, Baja.... Where do the yuppies live, where are they backwards farmers, where are they drug cartels, where's prime business, where are their beach bums, socialites and socialists...

more nuance for the dense:

Part of the problem is certain axioms of contemporary progressive thought are just antithetical to broad Hispanic opinion: you just can't understand American Hispanics (many of whom fled disasters to be here) thinking that America is some disaster worth fleeing. pic.twitter.com/qEAFLJQWlH

Going further, It's parochial (not say a teensy bit racist) to think that American Hispanics, many of whom have been living in the states *before they were states* reflexively identify with undocumented immigrants, and are rabidly pro-immigration in a sternly one-issue-voter way. pic.twitter.com/6que2LJsQ4

I don't understand why this considered like rocket science and has to be emphasized but here it is retweeted by Noah Smith:

I think in general the left needs to do a much better job recognizing and articulating the aspects of America that are worth celebrating.

DOH you can't win any elections in America on the "Amerika sucks" ticket.

And DOH AGAIN-immigrants "of color" who have become voting citizens don't appreciate being told they have made a stupid choice by coming here and becoming citizens of a horrible country, maybe the greatest oppressor of minorities in history.

That many end up voting for the party that doesn't humor people who say it's a racist country should be no surprise! Really DOH.

Thank you, America. Our democracy has proved its resilience in electing Joe Biden

By the Washington Post Editorial Board, Nov. 7

[....] Mr. Biden and his running mate, California Sen. Kamala D. Harris, built a broad coalition of traditional Democratic voters and independents disgusted with Mr. Trump. They won the highest number of votes of any presidential ticket in history and will end with an impressive margin of victory and and strong showings in states in every region of the country.

Instinctively optimistic, unwilling to write off any of his fellow Americans, not likely to be pushed around by hyper-partisans on either side, Mr. Biden is exceptionally qualified to heal a deeply divided nation. He won on a promise to unify the country and to address major problems that have been neglected or aggravated over the past four years. Voters should expect him to live up to his promises — and Senate Republicans, if they do retain their majority, should accept his open hand in a spirit of decency and cooperation. If the voters elected a divided government, they may have been asking for moderation, but they were not voting for stasis.

Mr. Biden’s victory — and Mr. Trump’s defeat — is a testament to the resilience of American democracy. In other countries, at other times, bullies like Mr. Trump have succeeded in becoming strongmen by promising security from dangerous outsiders, demonizing cultural elites and sowing enough confusion and apathy that people failed to resist the slide into illiberalism. Mr. Trump tried all of these tactics. But Americans resisted. They did so in an overwhelming yet orderly fashion, at the ballot box, when it was their turn to have another say, despite the fact that Mr. Trump and his allies adopted a strategy of disenfranchisement when they realized they could not win fairly. They answered his four years of divisiveness by electing a woman — a woman of color — to be vice-president for the first time in the nation’s history. Citizens in unprecedented numbers stood in line for hours to vote, starting weeks before Election Day. State officials adhered to their responsibilities to ensure that people could cast ballots. Withstanding Mr. Trump’s spiteful and mendacious attacks on their integrity, they ensured that those votes would be counted.[....]
