    Unfortunately, for being so called the smart group, Asians are not really that smart! I am an Asian by the way. How do you not know that you are being singled out for discrimination and you continue to vote for Democrats? They are still slaves at the Democrat plantation. Truth be told, we have some Asians who love entitlements because who will turn down free monies? While, they are in the minority, they all vote Democrat! The multi-million dollar lawsuit of those Asian students against Harvard finally, I guess they all hit their heads and regained consciousness. Finally, a light bulb lit up in their heads, you know guys, I think we are being discriminated against! You think? Ding! Ding! Ding! Bingo!

  2. As measured by transfer of wealth from the productive to the non-productive, Obama was indeed the greatest US President ever. Healthcare insurance law changes, new Government agencies, increased Government social program spending, and business supressing and expensive regulations were Obama’s “contributions” as President.

    If the measures of Presidential perfomance covers things like protection of our Constitution, our economic system, personal freedoms, and preservation of our unique and productive culture, Obama was the worst US President ever. By far.

  3. I read that Asians average about 5 IQ points more than Americans. In my estimation, American’s strengths tend to include good problem solving abilities and when motivated can find very creative ways to getting things done. The English tend to be strong in writing and their scientists tend to be more rigorous in their utilization of the scientific method.

    Each of the major cultures have been around for thousands of years and thus has stood the test of time. Each culture has a strength that has served them well. Although historically almost all cultures have displayed racism to a significant degree, in reality, we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

    Survey: Historians rank Obama 12th best president

    By CRISTIANO LIMA

    Historians have ranked Barack Obama the 12th best president of all time, the highest rated since President Ronald Reagan, in a new C-SPAN survey released Friday.

    Less than a month after exiting the White House, Obama received high marks from presidential historians for his pursuit of "equal justice for all" and for his commanding "moral authority," ranking third and seventh among all former presidents in each respective category. The 44th president also cracked a top 10 ranking for his "economic management" and public persuasion.

    Poll: Obama tops list ranking best president in Americans' lifetime

    More than 40 percent of Americans say that Barack Obama was the best or second-best president in their lifetime, according to a new pollfrom the Pew Research Center.

    The poll asked people in an open-ended format which president has done the best job in their lifetimes, using respondents' first and second choices for the survey's findings.

    Forty-four percent of Americans said Obama was either the best or the second-best president in their lifetime, with 33 percent saying the same for Bill Clinton. Thirty-two percent said Ronald Regan was the best or second-best president in their lifetime.

    Meanwhile, 19 percent said the same for President Trump, who has been in office since 2017.

    Experts rank Trump as worst president, Obama 8th best

    A panel of 170 presidential politics experts considers Trump the worst president in history, according to rankings published by the New York Times. Obama is 8th, with Lincoln, Washington and Franklin Roosevelt holding the top three spots. The same experts ranked Buchanan last and Obama 18th in 2014.

    Notable movements: Clinton slid from 8th to 13th and Jackson from 9th to 15th, "arguably the result of contemporary scorn for [Clinton's] treatment of women, and for evolving attitudes on [Jackson's] treatment of Native Americans," per the Times. George W. Bush moved from 35th up to 30th.

    Top 10:

    1. Lincoln
    2. Washington
    3. F.D. Roosevelt
    4. T. Roosevelt
    5. Jefferson
    6. Truman
    7. Eisenhower
    8. Obama
    9. Reagan
    10. L.B. Johnson

    So a bunch of liberal college professors get together and start ranking presidents. This is merely their biased results.

    There was an actual survey conducted among Democrats, Independents and Republicans. They took an equal number of respondents. I believe it was 500 people from each group, total of 1,500. That is a small sample, still, more balanced than your usual Democrat sample of 100% Democrats. They were asked to rank US Presidents including, Reagan, Carter, GH Bush, GW Bush, Obama, Clinton. Trump was not included as he was not elected US President at the time of the survey. Asked to pick the worst to the best, worst was Obama, Carter and GW Bush which is about right, GH Bush scored higher than those 3. Among the best US Presidents, Reagan was judged the best and Clinton ranked 2nd.

  7. Allocating resources to those who are likely to be the most effective utilizers of those resources is sound practice. Why should someone with better qualifications be denied access to arguably the best education? Society as a whole is more likely to benefit from an enabled genius than someone who doe not quite make the cut.

    Unfortunately, some Harvard professors appear to have dimininshed the value of this institution, causing it to not be a net benefit for society. I base this on the unethical conduct, incompetance, and the apparent lack of Harvard graduate’s sense of commitment to improving our system. Other Ivy league colleges have similar issues. Business managers are taught to only consider the tangible and to emphasize short term results. Many business issues involve employee and customer relations. While most executives complain about the lack of employee or customer loyalty, they seem unprepared to come up with effective policy to achieve their goals. Executives also frequently complain about the lack of qualified job applicants. Too many of our major corporations are run by executives in name only and are taught by teachers in name only.

    There needs to be a feedback mechanism that adjusts to the significant indications of systemic issues. Some of these indications are headlines related to corporate governance issues and executive complaints. In other words, these colleges, and by extension our society, would benefit if they were run as a business rather than an ineffective bureaucracy. Then again, where would we find qualified and competent executives to run these colleges?

  8. But what about the ones that don't make the cut, but are still smarter and got better scores than the blacks? What happens to them. They worked harder and got punished and now they don't get to go to harvard all because their parents gave them every advantage in life.

    Also would you be for this kind of racism if it were reversed? Would you be ok with the NBA getting rid of its black players so 14% of Asians (who are only .2% of the NBA) could play? Would you be ok with record labels stopping signing black rappers to give record contracts to less talented whites?

    The truth is people practice reverse racism and excuse it because they falsely imply that blacks for instance, cannot ever be racist? Yet, they continue to demonize whites? Remember Van Jones on CNN on the night of November 8, 2016? He said it was a white lash because all those whites voted for Donald Trump in the elections? He conveniently, forgot the same whites elected Barack Obama into power for two terms or 8 years? Also, why didn't he call blacks voting for Barack Obama a black lash? That they voted for him because of his skin color and not his qualification for office? Seriously, Obama was a community organizer and junior Senator from Chicago! There were more people qualified over him including, Sarah Palin who was mayor for Wasilla and actually, elected Governor of Alaska yet, liberals said she was not qualified?

    Yet they have Reagen #9 and nearly all have him top 12(which he sure as hell doesn't deserve)

    One of the surveys I posted is from the people not historians.
