There is nothing racist about using Oriental. It describes a recognized area of the world, the Orient. It does not refer to someone based on the characteristics of their race. It is based on geography and nothing else.

I posted a link to the stats I used.
You were wrong and should apologize for not taking the care to check.
You ask for evidence?
Where is the evidence that BLM are about 'unarmed' black men getting shot?
BLM is about the systematic racism that means black families still have to give the 'talk' and killings like this still happen regularly.

A proper paper of an experiment describes the methodology well enough that it should be repeatable.
The hallmarks of a proper study is that the results are verifiable and repeatable. Most peer reviewed published studies pass these requisites.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be published in the 1st place.
That's fine. If you believe if any disparities in achievement is obviously due solely to racism. Single cause and single solutions are rarely realistic.

It's all in front of you face. There is not one instance, it was a complete system.
No, I believe that when people see the truth it awakens them and starts a fire.
Instead of being "stuck", it gives you purpose to move forward.
"Most peer reviewed published studies pass these requisites."
And yet they don't according to the data. You do know the peer review process right? It's not the panacea (not that I know of a better process) that you make it out to be.
Simple google search, "published medical papers that cannot be replicated". First result.
A massive 8-year effort finds that much cancer research can’t be replicated
Unreliable preclinical studies could impede drug development later on
Dozens of major cancer studies can't be replicated
A project aiming to reproduce nearly 200 top cancer experiments found only a quarter could be replicated.

Trust but verify.
And yet I have yet to see proof of this 'truth' you defend. Huh.
Also, "There is not one instance, it was a complete system" sounds really really conspiracy. "Complete system" makes it conveniently hard to prove doesn't it?" 'It's all around us' sounds very cool & Yoda like.

From wiki.
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement that seeks to highlight racism, discrimination, and racial inequality experienced by black people. Its primary concerns are incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people.It started following the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Rekia Boyd, among others
My apologies. I did not realize BLM was about the whole system. I thought they were primarily about police killings of black people (mostly men).
You confuse the crimes that gave the impetus to start this movement with the issues they are concerned about.
That's a basic error.
@John_Jacob, do you really feel black people born in America could be successful if they only tried harder? Is that what you're basically saying, that there is an even playing field for them, and they can go as far as their talents will take them?
Because, if so, that's a load of shit.
Historically, since reconstruction in the South, the plight of black people has been one of oppression and rules specifically designed to disenfranchise them in one way or the other. They introduced voting regulations that included literacy tests....but would include grandfather clauses that would allow poor illiterate whites to vote. Separate but equal school boards? Sure, sounds great until you realize all the resources go to the white school, while black children are forced to do with lesser equipment. Buying a home to create generational wealth....ever hear of "red lining?" Which was a process where it was impossible for a black family to get a cheap, government backed loan to buy a home, while they were literally giving them away to white families. Then we can look at the environmental racism, which forced blacks to live "on the wrong side of the tracks" metaphorically speaking. Black communities frequently have highways/expressways going through them, or rail traffic. The pollution and environmental hazards are significantly worse for these communities. You talk about marriage rates in the 60s compared to the 90s. There are multiple reasons for the decline, and part of it is the racist war on drugs. They made it so that possession of crack held a significantly higher penalty than powder cocaine. It might shock you to know that blacks used crack more while wealthy white people used cocaine...So, the jails became full of black men for selling drugs, or the suspicion of selling drugs, which broke up families and caused a generational shift that nobody saw coming...and those communities are still feeling it today.
Basically, blacks have had the deck stacked against them since about 1870...And obviously chattel slavery before the Civil War wasn't good for them as well...

I don't have to prove nothing to you, because you are nothing but bad intentions.
I made my statement and it's well documents about the struggles of black americans.
It's not a mistake how people like you cut out a lot of history.
One of the things people dont think about is, why in the first place will a conservative polling company such as the Rasmussen Reports conduct a poll regarding the phrase "It's OK to be white".
If it was such an innocuous term, then what is the point of asking such a question to someone in the first place ? It is infact passive aggressive and stupid.
Therefore, that term must mean something else - and it does, based on how it is used by trolls and racists online. Infact Rasmussen Reports conducting this poll is in and of itself intended to troll and create a stir.
People who are racist pricks like Scott Adams just need a bone to pick on, and this was the perfect one for him to grab on to and vent his right wing outrage.

Money isn't the only thing that matters to people.
In the case of Scott Adam's, he's shown himself to be highly narcissistic, with claims of genius and high IQ. The demise of Dilbert in itself is likely quite a blow.
