At the very least New England states should have lobster since it's cheaper up here.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

For the purpose of many demographic stats, hispanics are considered white. The military stats come to mind.

The respondents in the "some other race" category are reclassified as white by the Census Bureau in its official estimates of race. This means that more than 90% of all Hispanic or Latino Americans are counted as "white" in some statistics of the US government

Yup, Hispanics are counted as white in a lot of cases.

One case off the top of my head is bop.gov where if you want to search for a Hispanic inmate, you have to list him as White.

2015 Demographics: Profile of the Military Community

quote:

Race/Ethnicity. Less than one-third (31.3%) or 407,563 of Active Duty members identify themselves as a racial minority (i.e., Black or African American, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Multi-racial, or Other/Unknown). The percentage of Active Duty members who identify themselves as a racial minority has increased each year since 2012 (from 31.6% of enlisted members and 21.9% of officers in 2012, to 33.2% of enlisted members and 22.8% of officers in 2015). The overall ratio of racial minority enlisted personnel (354,997) to racial minority officers (52,566) is 6.8 racial minority enlisted personnel for every one racial minority officer. To conform to the latest Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directives, Hispanic is not considered a minority race designation and only Active Duty members’ race was used to determine racial minority status.

They are counted as White.



vvvvvv that report actually goes on to separate out the Latino/Hispanic population from the White statistic

:coolspot::coolspot::coolspot::coolspot::coolspot:
i have some xpertise on this and the way it works in the federal govt is that they consider whether you're hispanic or not to be your "ethnicity" which is different and separate from your "race"

your ethnicity is two categories: hispanic or non-hispanic. so the way statistics are reported it flows from gender > ethnicity > race. the races are white, black or african american, native hawaiian or pacific islander, asian, native american or alaska native, or two or more races (excluding hispanic).

Is overpopulation really a thing? Or is it just something to cover up for the fact that the first world nations take up an ungodly amount of resources?

Yes overpopulation is a thing for all living organisms, but humans are able to mitigate higher population densities with things like better infrastructure, food security, environmental protections, etc

idk what the rest of that article says, but I don't think pointing out that Venezuela is utterly hosed necessarily means you agree with a case for interventionism.

well more than a few people are making GBS threads on them today for that article + one that took on TeleSUR (which is doing zesty memes now and is thus popular on Twitter), Ben Norton said he's calling them "Girondin" from now on and there's been several cancelled subscriptions from people I follow

Nah because smart people say Hillary is a bad candidate.

Trump voters who were torn between the two and voted for trump were dumb though as they couldn't realise which of the candidates they shouldn't vote for

Both major candidates were ones you shouldn't have voted for

And at least one the two major minor candidates too.
