I love this line:

We need to redesign social systems where Asians are not 75% to 80% of university mathematics departments.

Right.

If trump does not win, this country is screwed. This kind of attitude will make us the most incompetent nation on earth-enough already. i hope the lefties -especially the ones who make a living see where this is going and not just vote with a D.

It's funny how you post up a thread about satire and yet take this piece at face value. Eye of the beholder and all that I guess.

Fortunately forward thinking people have begun to work on this problem. http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/08/finding-the-line-between-safe-space-and-segregation/496289/. Safe spaces are only racist if they are for European or Asian students, and then of course, they absolutely are without qualification. Because you see only non-racist understand that all members of a racial group have identical experiences, opportunities, and barriers.

That would be a fair point if that's what they had done.

The other one goes on about 'lefties.'

No. Since you referenced my other post about satire-that was about it being satire but believable in today's world. This is the same here-there are people saying you can't serve sushi in college dorms because it is cultural appropriation.
There was the protest at Milo's event where women spewed blood on themselves-the college faculty gives that woman the dignity award.
BLM is asking slavery reparations-people like me who are a minority have to pay for it.

These are all lefties and the line between satire and reality is blurring that it is hard to tell which one is real or satire-which was my point in the other post. You can't tell and my point in this is-we are doomed if we let this continue.

Now to be honest, I don't know if trump is the real deal or playing a character to become president-but something needs to happen. I like what he says about trade and him not being politically correct-if he fails to deliver and switched, I will turn against him. The left needs to wake up from its stupor and recognize that their fights in the 60s are over and today's issues are vastly different. They are picking the wrong fight

Arguing stupid things isn't the sole remit of those on the left (or the right) and is pointless to blame on an entire group. Everyone can point at comical arguments made by people on all points of the political spectrum. To then say that this represents the left or the right is part of the problem with the current discourse.

It's not clear to me what you take as constituting the left, but it's also clear that there are plenty of things from the 60s that are probably even more relevant today than they were then given the steep rise in inequality and the concentration of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer, degradation of the environment, etc. etc. How exactly is Trump addressing any of these things? His focus on Mexicans and Muslims isn't dealing with what really affects the average person's day to day life.
