What was it by asian?

how much cash did you bring with you from africa? probably not much. ain't many white immigrants anymore. white folks are older too. gotta control for a lot of variables here.

What is the breakdown in Japan? In India? In Sweden? In Mexico? In Zimbabwe?

So the people who settled/ stole/ conquered this land have most of the money. What's your point? The world's not fair? Cry me a river.

Mr. Mudede, you know damn well you'll get farther in America than in a country run by someone, like, say... Robert Mugabe. Tell me, what is the net worth of Latinos in Zim, hey?

Hey Nigga Schola, Why are you pulling the middle class black American cry baby routine? Name for me the highest ranking woman in the Chinese government? The highest ranking out gay white male in the Zimbabwe government?


Prove to me the Coni Rice is not the most powerful black woman that has ever walked on this earth. Show me another country with a media giant like Oprah.


Where do you and Erica get off acting like you are the voice of the oppressed? Erica - Ms. boycott the Mexican Republican and ruin his business. You - I spent the last year writing an embarassing vanity film that I don't need to get paid for. What do either of you have to whine about?

But by all means keep it up at The Stranger, we've grown used to the stable of trust funders and privledged Africans preaching to working class white people about how we're oppressing you.

My question was supposed to be name the highest ranking Black woman in the Chinese government.

Hey! I'm white! Where's my $120,000??? Maybe I'm Black/Latino and I just don't know it? Entitlement now!

Behold the arithmetical reason for white faces on magazine covers. Why do you think Rolling Stone and MTV embraced grunge instead of hiphop? Racism? Don't be thick--it's just sad practicality. Racism precedes the decision, but reversing the decision would do nothing to lessen racism. It's the money, stupid. I don't think people who level such bogus charges of racism are thick enough to really believe what they say. They are angry, but they are not analyzing. Also, crucially, they seize an opportunity to score a cheap political point. They are Karl Rove without knowing it.

Imagine my excitement when I learned I have a trust fund! Please e-mail me the account information immediately. Gratefully, ECB
