Looks like that meme counting jews in the media, except it's counting white people and it's from the New York Times

@matrix It's not as effective when the group in question already makes up like 70% of the population as when it makes up 2% of the overall population.

@ChristiJunior
The idea that the general makeup of the population should be reflected everywhere is retarded in the first place

@igel
Yes. I can't wait for the based Asians to use their superior intellect and finally conquer the west.
@ChristiJunior

@matrix @ChristiJunior lets hope japan wakes up before that and conquers china

@igel
They are woke. Basically all Asians hate all the other Asians. They just need to wake up their sex drive to have a fighting chance.
@ChristiJunior

@ChristiJunior @matrix Also at least 13% of them are Jewish, so if you took away their overrepresentation it'd actually be pretty close to US demographics.
@ChristiJunior @matrix And that percentage would likely be much higher if like half of that list weren't elected officials. I think around half of the media/Hollywood figures listed are Jewish. And with respect to police brutality, around half of the heads of major police departments are black or Hispanic.

:thinky:

@matrix Lets do some math.

922 - 180 = 742 whiteys.

180 goes into 742 a little more than 4 times, so lets round that to 25%.

Whites make up 73% of the US population. Lets just call it 75%.

That makes it exactly fucking represented by the population.

These fucking retards have literally made a graph arguing against the existence of systemic racism in America.

@matrix So what they are admitting here is that POC are massively over-represented in law enforcement.

So we know its not the boogeytman of racism, but in fact, a problem of criminogenic behaviour in these racial groups. Since we’ve already demonstrated that POC can reach positions of power just as easily as whites can — and certainly seem to be equally capable of doing so, a reasonable explanation here is that POC have a cultural problem that is their own making and when they reject that culture they succeed just fine.

This whole article is arguing against every point they are desperately trying to make. This kind of broken logic cannot happen by accident, you have to deliberately ignore the data you are seeing here.

@shebang
Yeah, and they decided to put them right at the start of the article.
The article is contradictory. They also bring up the the House which almost mirrors the general population.

@matrix @shebang PoCs are underrepresented, but not really, and they're still oppressed even when they aren't.

>The rise of people of color to positions of leadership has not been a guarantee against the targeting of marginalized groups.

Then whats the point of this article?
@matrix @shebang you'd expect someone reasonably minded to question the premise or model if the conclusion doesn't match the expectations but oh well

@shebang @matrix
I've been patiently waiting for everything to become "equal" and for all of this horseshit to closed out and over with, so we can focus on either repairing or getting off this planet, fixing that part where we die when we get old, or figuring out why the fuck we're here in the first place.

I don't think that day's ever going to come. It will never be enough. Identity politics will always be here. It will always work.

@matrix lol black people are overrepresented in positions of power
@matrix 19.5% .. isn't that over-representation since black people make up 10~13% of the US population?

What are they including in PoC? Am I (🇮🇳) a PoC? I think not. A lot of people don't even consider me Asian (Russians are Asian's too btw).

I also want to see this char redone with the number of self-describe democrats, republicans and independents. There's your actual diversity measure: diversity of ideas.

@djsumdog Looks like this article considers PoC everyone with non European ancestry, however yeah PoC is an ambiguous label. Asians are often excluded from it when they are inconvenient.
