Oh please, without AA, only white people would be in prominent positions or in other high income fields, and non-white people would only be able to work low wage jobs. That's what happened before AA.

Affirmative Action does not mean that the Democratic Party hates or discriminates against white people, so just stop it already

Giving people equal opportunities does not imply AA.
I totally support improving public education, especially in poor neighborhoods, but I'm against AA in college admissions.

LOL. Get outta here. How many of you are Chinese or know any Chinese people who were not raised in the US?

Trust me, they're not checking to see how you voted before they call you a name. You think wearing a MAGA hat to China will get people to think you're smart?

Nah. Chinese people who are gonna make fun of white people don't care who you voted for. They probably care more about whether or not you're rude and fat.

Crazy talk. AA should be illegal. It's naked racism. It directly violates the 14th Amendment.

Thank you CHINA!!!!! You've just enriched the English Language. And now, would someone please produce a YouTube video, with 20-or-so Chinese people PRONOUNCING 'Baizuo'? Most Americans are eager to pronounce Chinese words correctly. We frequently do so, if we can hear the words straight from credible sources (native speakers). And the more native speakers we hear saying something, the better we'll learn how to say it.

Unless you started learning Chinese at a very young age (before the age of 4, really) your auditory pathways cannot detect all the sounds present in most Asian languages.

You can come pretty close if you are good at languages, but you will not hear it quite the same way.

The pinyin is right there, sound it out.

Tonals are absolutely brutal to me. I think they thought I was adorably drunk when I spoke.

AA was fixing the problem of minorities never being able to get ahead despite how hard they tried

If China , the worlds largest source of communism and one of the worst players on human rights and propaganda has a problem with "liberals" or "whites" then I would consider that a badge of honor.
