Demographic Distribution of Jobs in the High-Tech Industry

Intelligence, Logic, Race, Reason, Technology

“On average”: These two words (one is a preposition) are missing from Jared Taylor’s brutal appraisal of the demographic distribution of jobs in the high-tech industry. That, I think, would be my one quibble with Jared. Thus, “On average, Asians are better at programing than whites, whites are better at it than Hispanics, Hispanics are better at it than blacks, and men are better at it than women.”

Of course, if you have been schooled to think illogically—as are most graduates of America’s secondary and tertiary educational institutions—then disparity in the representation of racial groups in the high-tech industry, relative to their proportion in the population, you will chalk up to racism, sexism, onanism, etc.

However, should you care to pursue your illogic, as Jared politely urges, you will be at pains to rationalize the discrimination the high-tech market is alleged to exhibit toward Asians, who are more likely to be employed in the hi-tech sector than whites.

The wife of a high-tech magnate takes to cake for the most foolish statement to be quoted in the segment. She would not be enjoying the fruits of her husband’s labor had he made hiring decisions based on color and sex, rather than on talent. This colossal idiot claimed that the high-tech industry is “steeped in the pernicious myth of meritocracy.”

Not-So Silent Majority?

Democrats, Elections, Race, Racism

“A lesson for Democrats in future midterms,” said one Bill Burton, a regular Democrat bobbing head on Fox News, “is to figure out how to talk to white voters.” Burton is a former White House deputy press secretary for the Obama administration and an Obama campaign veteran. Naturally, he has also parlayed his political connections into a “consulting” and strategizing business.

This admission from a Democrat (with a gig on Fox News) was quite a shocker. To me, at least. However, anchor Megyn Kelly thought nothing of it and failed to pick up on, and run with, the theme.

Race RoboCop To The Rescue

Democracy, Elections, Race, Racism

No doubt you are as “grateful” as I am that race RoboCop Eric Holder sent his federales to election stations across the country to ensure that anyone who wants to vote can vote, and that if a voter is asked for an ID, informed of a citizenship requirement, hasn’t been provided with “bilingual assistance” or a ramp for a wheelchair—he can quickly call a hotline to register a complain of “intimidation, discrimination, obstruction,” and racism, naturally.

“Groups and individuals—including the NAACP, the American Civil Liberties Union and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder —are doing everything they can to prevent states from improving the integrity of the election process,” writes Hans von Spakovsky in the WSJ.

“How many non-citizens participate in U.S. elections?” ask two professors of political science, writing in the Washington Post. And they reply:

More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote. Furthermore, some of these non-citizens voted. Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010.
… Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats (Obama won more than 80 percent of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 CCES sample), we find that this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections. Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) won election in 2008 with a victory margin of 312 votes. Votes cast by just 0.65 percent of Minnesota non-citizens could account for this margin. It is also possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for Obama’s 2008 victory in North Carolina. Obama won the state by 14,177 votes, so a turnout by 5.1 percent of North Carolina’s adult non-citizens would have provided this victory margin. …

The coda to yesterday’s election post was, “Tomorrow, Americans decide who will do the distributing: Republican social democrats or Democratic social democrats.”

It should have been:

“Tomorrow, non-citizen votes will decide who will do the distributing: Republican social democrats or Democratic social democrats.”

The Hateful Eric Holder

Barack Obama, Capitalism, Crime, Race, Racism

While he’s a legal positivist, a militarist, and loves Lincoln for every unpardonable crime Honest Abe ever committed—Mark Levin offers good commentary on a good many issues. Unlike the rest on radio, he’s smart. Today he nailed Eric Holder, who had rushed to Ferguson, Missouri, to racialize the shooting of Michael Brown, but who has said nothing on the murder of a string of white girls by, allegedly, one Jesse Matthew, a black man. Likewise, Obama is mum about “cops and soldiers coming under attack,” but wouldn’t shut up about his personal affinity for Trayvon Martin.

Admirable too is Levin’s ongoing offensive against establishment Republicans, Chris Cristie of late, and the “Chamber of Crony Capitalism,” whose business it is to collude with government to obtain corporate welfare and subsidies (amnesty) and undermine free-market capitalism. “They use the nomenclature of liberty,” says Levin, to bamboozle.
