the coloring of America

[Anonymous]

This is what I saw at the DNC convention. It was striking compared to the crowd at the RNC.

The DNC convention had all kinds of people; the RNC had mostly one kind of people. But, then, they don't care about "inclusion" so...

I can't take the case because I let my NY bar license lap, so I refer her to another lawyer. He wants more than $1,000 per hour, and she balks. I refer her to a another lawyer, who agrees to $1,000 per hour.

The client is African-American; I'm Hispanic and I grew up speaking Spanish; the second referral lawyer is Muslim and was born in Pakistan.

In the next several decades, these NYC demographics will spread out to the rest America, and America has nothing to fear.

You are right about Hispanics and Muslims from Pakistan or many other countries. Add in Southeast Asian Indians, Koreans, Vietnamese and Chinese. The continuing decline in the African American population and their political impact will grow as Hispanics and other second and third generation Americans rise to prominence.

thanks for being such a clown

Do you resent that lawyers of color are changing $1000 per hour ? (Sorry you didn't go to a good graduate school, better luck next time.)

The majority of Hispanics still vote Dem.

First generation immigrants are always liberal. But look at Italians now. They're often very conservative. Hispanics are not going to give up Catholicism over 1 or 2 generations as they become more established. They remain very very Christian and family oriented. Many eventually own businesses. Go look at a state like TX where they have lived for a lot longer than most states. They vote very conservatively.

Traditional Catholicism is very aligned with the democratic party. So is traditional Christianity. The problem is the Evangelicals and Opus Dei, who are fringe and support a Christian Nationalist state. These are two very different things.

Didn’t work that way for Asian Americans. They actually became more Democrat the longer they’ve been in the U.S.

Asians aren't super Catholics tho, dumbazz....

No, the PP is correct, at least Catholics and the Democratic Party of the past. It was about supporting policies that benefited the poor and working class. If I meet a Catholic now, I wouldn't be able to assume their political persuasion, mostly because of the anti-abortion stance of most of the Republican Party draws in a number of Catholics.

I would like to think many Catholics would support policies that ease the burden of others, but it seems to me that a lot of Catholics are more interested in judging others for their actions and punishing them by withholding support. Maybe these people aren't practicing Catholics, though. (I'm a practicing Catholic, FWIW.)

You could charge these companies a $1,000 an hour too, but you'd have to get off your lazy ass and stop blaming POC for your own failures.

“As of April 2023, according to the Pew Research Center, 62 percent of Latinos believed abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Twenty years earlier, most Hispanics told Pew that they opposed abortion rights by a nearly two-to-one margin. (The most recent polling has been conducted online, instead of over the phone, but the surveys show an overall gradual shift in opinions.)”

54% of Texas Latinos and 60% of Texas Latinas voted for Biden.

Try a louder dog whistle. I run a government contracting firm and the only lazy asses are those whose pictures we put on our website and are kept quiet in meetings. It’s worth it to get the DEI points.
