[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a followup to my previous post, those who attribute diversity to America's failings are barking up the wrong tree. The ECONOMIC INEQUITY is what is causing UNHAPPINESS among certain segment of the society that has been left out by globalization or are just plain lazy and entitled. This situation has to be corrected by better economic/fiscal policies that helps the ones left out by various retraining or better education models and other innovative ways. Tax policy and better income allocation can be one of the factors in addressing this situation.

Blaming NON WHITE or ANY one group for economic situation is not a solution. Thats what demagogues do, attribute blame as a solution to a problem. [/quote]

I liked your first post but today there are educational opportunities beginning with pre K in public schools but still great disparities in achievement.  One fellow [central american] told me when in K-12 he did not take advantage of his opportunities [HS in eastern FX county] and many friends ruined their lives with gang affiliation etc.  stated should have applied himself and could have been engineer-felt somewhat caught up since was licensed master tradesman.

So absurd that many get to check Hispanic box when are from highly educated families etc.  There were no Polish check boxes in 1915.  Virtually no ESL-my dad and family really mastered English immersion style.  [b]What we do need to do is bring back manufacturing and tech related stuff.  Get the call centers out of ie India and in places like DC and Philly and Baltimore.[/b]  [/quote]

What is happening in manufacturing is due to mechanization more than globalization. Everyone wants to blame China or India or Asia or whatever as the reason for American loss of industry. [b]But nobody talks about the billions of dollars that are benefited by American corporations selling their products(Apple, Google, FB, Microsoft, GE, Insurance companies, Auto Companies, Consumer product companies, Engineering companies) in a 2.5 billion population market. Do you know how many millions of jobs are created due to these 2.5 billion people in the USA? Of course it is inconvenient to talk about facts that doesn't work with our confirmation bias [/b]. It is much easier to reconfirm what we believe or told to believe by demagogues than to understand facts.

Having said that, yes there is a segment that is getting affected by mechanization/globalization. But the way to address that is not to blame BUT to find solutions to train them and change the economic policies that will benefit the poor rather than the rich who benefits disproportionately due to mechanization/globalization.[/quote]

You should know " how much easier to reconfirm what we believe" since you are doing it yourself.[/quote]
