I&#x27;m wondering how long it will take, if ever, until:<p>1. we can put the wasted efforts of tribal cultural warfare behind us<p>2. we can have debates that may not and should not result in unanimous agreement without being disagreeable<p>3. voters are informed deeply about all issues and candidates presented before them from verified sources, not press releases from political operatives<p>4. Elimination of PACs<p>5. Private financing of political campaigns is either abolished or severed limited to small donations from named individuals to a particular candidate only. When funds go unused, they are fractionally returned to all donors<p>6. Prosecution of public officials who take thinly-veiled bribes and other considerations

Is it possible that Edward Blum does not know that there are VC funds that fund specifically Asian American entrepreneurs and scholarships that fund only Asian Americans and Jewish Americans as well? If he is balanced and targets groups other than blacks and Hispanics, I would be believe in the purity of his cause.

<i>The conservative-majority court rejected policies used by many U.S. colleges and universities to use race as one of multiple factors in admissions in order to boost enrollment of Black, Hispanic and certain other minority students. Blum&#x27;s group had argued that such programs discriminated against white and Asian American applicants.</i><p>Discussions about this topic usually happen with nobody bothering to verify, or even explicitly state, their assumptions about the demographics of Harvard&#x2F;the Ivy League. Effectively arguing in the dark. Let&#x27;s shed some light on the issue:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;ivy-league-demographics" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;ivy-league-demographics</a> (And ask yourselves why such basic information was omitted from nearly all reporting)
