The idea that immigrants should only come from countries whose culture matches America's ignores how successfully we absorb newcomers. My poker game is filled with Dominicans, Bangladeshis, Iranians, and Jamaicans, all trying to take each other's money in we-are-the-world beauty.

A reminder: as was learned in 2020, this doesn't necessarily mean that all liberal ideas win. Immigrants mostly come here to be capitalists, and are buying into the U.S.A. #1 thing, not Woke white elite theory about them being victims of white privilege

This is exciting news! When I was growing up and going to college for my PoliSci degree (to go into foreign service/govt.), I had to work to pay bills... couldn't do any internship, couldn't study abroad. I'm happy you will provide opportunities for this new generation!

Kid in taxi early on in Killing Fields gifted a hood ornament, later on when supposed to kill the guy, recognizes him, let's him go with "Mercedes #1", a decidedly non-Khmer Rouge slogan.

Zip code culture wars vs genetics

"I have estimated that some 25 percent — and possibly more — of the overall effects of a parent are driven by where that parent raises their child. In other words, this one parenting decision has much more impact than many thousands of others."https://t.co/HQPK6ome1p
