What is so admirable about west coast employers that you want to see that poo poo here?

found this in the preface of the book i'm reading, seemed relevant

quote:

The book is written not only for the interested layman — and for him I have tried to make things as simple as possible — but also for the professional engineer in the rocket business. For I have discovered that he is frequently abysmally ignorant of the history of his own profession, and, unless forcibly restrained, is almost certain to do something which, as we learned fifteen years ago, is not only stupid but is likely to result in catastrophe.

why are the people laughing at that freak's jokes rather than at the freak himself

the casual racism is a nice touch, just in case his horrific hair and total lack of humor didn't make him hateable enough already

I figured it was probably either the US or Canada. Boy thats depressing (US I mean, I have never been to Canada)

edit: It would be interesting to pair that with how diverse each area is. Are the low values low because people are tolerant, or because there is such an overwhelming majority of <whatever> that the thought never occurred to them.

pretty sure it's the opposite - places with few/no minorities usually tend to be more racist

that said, there's way too much blue on that map. if the question was about "black or Hispanic people" rather than "people of another race" the US would at least be crimson

no, it's probably accurate, and a lot of people in the usa are just hiding their true feelings because they know it's inappropriate to say them.

but that's how social progress is made (q.v. the racist tree story). in france where 30% of the population is openly racist it's going to be harder to raise a kid who doesn't also harbor the same feelings.

PLEASE CLAP
if someone says people in an area "don't care about race, it's about class", it's because they've kept out minorities on a statewide level (see: oregon)

i want to pay a bunch of black people to move to vermont so we can see exactly how "not racist" they are (vermont's black people currently are more likely to be in poverty than black people in georgia)
