The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They want to be able to have objections to affirmative action,

I don't consider having an objection to affirmative action as racists per se, but it can be. The Asian objection to being unable to get into Med School, etc., isn't due to racism. It's because of the perception that they lost out on the good school due to affirmative action because the Asian quota was filled. I once watched the District Director in my area show me the ethnicity breakdown across the various pay grade levels in the district and got the perception that I was competing in the "white boy" slot against other white boys.

to be in favor of stricter enforcement against unlawful immigration,

I was floored when I realized the cartels had set up a business to advertise around the world and charge up to $30,000 to get you to the US border. I don't want that and I think no one does. And pregnancy vacations to give birth in the US and have a migration link. We DO want to take our fair share of people endangered in their homeland, but we can place caps and limits. We need the money to be able to process people back out the door quickly.


to be supportive of more stringent law enforcement,

There's a time and place for that. Not everyplace is an inner city or urban barrio though.

and to believe in/support a more positive telling of America's history -

Just give it to them straight, they'll figure it out.

even though doing any or all of those things might have a negative impact on minority communities.

Improve the transit out of the barrio to areas that have jobs.
