@criticofthecath @xwanyex In what ways is America more like India exactly? Be specific, other than that, you have to see Indians....

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex This is the dumbest argument. By every measurable metric, Indians are some of the most assimilated immigrants in America, highest income, lowest use of wellfare. You're only complaint is their religion is icky.

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex There are Indian Christians of course but you wouldn't want them. And you would complain about whatever else because that's just what racists do. It's not like Europeans have only brought prosperity everywhere. So again fuck off and enjoy living in your mom's basement

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex That's not data, it's a feeling, and it's not behavior attributal to any specific ethnic group. For instance, our current President famously behaved in the same manner.

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex The percentage of Indian immigrants in the US who are scammers is incredibly low, and the criminal element of Indian origin americans is way lower than all other ethnic populations so your feelings have no basis in fact. Scammers in India/Pakistan are a different problem

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex well you aren't being good faith at this point so kindly fuck off.

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex Also they can have been doing background checks on Foreigner's for ever. Of course different countries have different levels of capacity but that can be a factor in weighing the totality. If they have no social media presence or it's scrubbed you would view that as a negative

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex It's a process of course it's not going to be infallible. But you can get a communist from a 'compatible' European country by the same things you are worried about. The point is to make it harder and filter out as many as you can.

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex The government does it all the time when the grant security clearances. I've been through the process

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex Yes no one has ever been able to do background checks/investigations on people in other countries.

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@xwanyex Oh fair enough. But those people are stupid. Life has a certain amount of cruelty that can't be avoided. We've just evolved so that the cruelty isn't being eaten by lions or whatever.

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex Only a moron would think the cultural compatibility test would simply be did you answer these questions correctly. No wonder you would prefer worse people from 'better' countries. You are telling on yourself

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@criticofthecath @xwanyex You can decide if the individual is culturally incompatible. We are about individualism! I totally agree that we should have a much more rigorous standard for the compatibility of culture. People should be changed here, not trying to change here (except for more food options)

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@xwanyex This is a dumb take. Sure it's crueler, but who gives a shit? Meritocratic would be in the interest of the country, why would you want to take worse people from a country with a better average?

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@nickgillespie No one really cares who participates in the boys' section, though. Sports aren't segregated for their benefit.

I'll be writing about this for NR, but I will lay the Los Angeles situation out here flatly. Pratt didn't lose because of fraud. Pratt lost because, just like Chicago, it's an 80/20 Democratic city. In fact, he seems to have placed exactly where was in the final polls.

The real scandal is what's legal: with a 100% mail-in system, an endless window for ballot counting and legal mechanisms for unions and organizers to harvest (and later "cure") ballots, California's system is a purpose-built black box designed to fuel paranoia. And for no other purpose than that it allows Democratic intra-party battles to become a test of organizing strength for NGOs and unions.

People are right to be angry about the system. But even the way the votes are being counted now makes perfect (albeit disgusting) sense without recourse to claims of "fraud."

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@impoliticeye @AliceFromQueens Hmm, interesting if that's the case. Everything with this guys is just messy enough so that no one will ever truly be satisfied on any story.

[Ananth T Sarathy @asarathy]

@AliceFromQueens I dunno, this is the source i can find, https://t.co/AM1p7JkFvK google says it's pretty reliable, ymmv.
