Makes sense that California is losing population at the same time, even with mass illegal immigration:

https://notthebee.com/article/california-records-first-ever-yearly-population-decline

California's population fell by more than 182,000 last year, the first yearly loss ever recorded for the nation's most populous state that halted a growth streak dating to its founding in 1850...

faced racism from whites

sure, whites are the most racist people on Earth

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2325502/Map-shows-worlds-racist-countries-answers-surprise-you.html

of course, the problem is that nearly everyone else is even more racist.

I would say especially with Covid idiocy, the recent census would have to be the most fragmentary and inaccurate ever. Dey don' give no shit, and the population of California both legal and illegal is much higher, so nobody knows who left and who came in.

A lady on my trip whose daughter majored in Chinese languages and spent a lot of time in China says that the Chinese authorities grade black people on the darkness of their skin for social discriminations. Ne plus bigoted, but they inject all of this social divisiveness into USA.

I don't see how it would benefit YouTube to serve videos to you without ads.

Well, maybe they get paid per view for propaganda, but you're probably not going to watch propaganda.

Network is the most expensive part of running any website. Computers are cheap, but keeping them connected and serving data is expensive. So maybe you can help drain YouTube's money by increasing their networking cost and not watching any ads.

Spending all my five decades in the Bay Area, I've had friends and colleagues from that culture who trusted me enough to frankly discuss the racism of their culture with me. Most of the American born ones don't share those values of their parents.

There is indeed an entire pecking order inside of their racist minds.

Is the out migration from blue states to red states mostly conservative type people fed up with the woksterism? If so then their relocation to red states will make the red states redder, and the blue states woker.

Or, is the out migration economic refugees? If so then they will bring the woke / blue state values with them, making the red states bluer.

We shall find out.

I have a Thai friend from way back. He’s half black from a liaison between a Thai woman and a black American serviceman during Vietnam war. And he told me about how he was treated there... very poorly. He’s a nice guy and a hard worker but he immigrated to america as a teen simply to get away from the blatant racial discrimination. Keep in mind this wasn’t a foreigner in that country. This was a fully integrated child who grew up within that language and culture and was firmly rejected by the people based on nothing but his darker skin tone.
I’ve been to Thailand. I was amazed at the sheer variety of skin whitening products in every drug store. Not much sun block available outside the tourist areas, but if you wanted to whiten your skin, there was an entire wall of products.

My wife is half Thai, but grew up in Midwest america so she’s all American culturally.

I've heard quite a few times that certain areas like TX and Idaho are sick of CA locusts swarming their state, bringing their stupid voting habits with them, and turning the state and local govt bluer. This would suggest lots of economic refugees who don't realize that they're running from their own voting habits. Of course that's pretty anecdotal.

And while I know some of these areas have shifted to blue, its hard to say why with certainty.

But my bet is on economic refugees turning other states blue. Espescially with the democrat plan to inflate asset prices, especially in CA. More blue locusts will flee. They will arrive in red states, but their wokeness and virtue signaling is infectious like a filthy virus. When the CA bluetard stands up in a school committee meeting to proudly virtue signal that they stand for black lives, it rubs off on certain others.

Unfortunately, it is the economic refugees, and they are turning our cities blue. Austin is already California East.

The vast majority of their money is probably from ads, but they can still gather quite a bit of intelligence on their visitors by logging their browsing habits - which videos you watch, which ones you watch to completion, which ones you abandon, specifically where in the video you abandoned it, what parts of the video you rewind / pause / etc...

For example, if you abandon videos when it presents a tranny, they can assume you are "transphobic". Do you often pause the videos when you see a shirtless male? = Gay. Pause on titties? = Evil straight cis male. etc...

I've heard they're getting pretty good at this type of analytics and inferences. I think they mostly use this intel for advertising, but I'm sure there's lots of other uses for it, and other companies who would pay for it if google choses to sell it.

India's multibillion-dollar skin lightening industry under fire as Indians seek whiter shade of pale

I read an anthropology article somewhere which stated that at all times and all places, in all cultures, the majority of men find lighter women more beautiful.

Upper class men generally get their pick of women, and they tend to pick lighter women.

And so over the centuries, in all countries, the upper classes tend to become lighter skinned just from this effect alone. It's true in Japan as well as in Nigeria.

The Europeans, having evolved in the far north longer than any other group, lost pigmentation primarily as a way of getting more Vitamin D in the dim Northern European climate, though they too had the same effect of upper class men picking fair women.

But now this makes Europeans look more upper class all around the world, because in every single culture everywhere on earth, the upper classes are lighter skinned. A random benefit for white people. Not their fault. But they get blamed for it, even the poorest white person gets blamed simply for having white skin now.

Obligatory Michael Jackson comment

farmer2021 says

You will see that white privileged start to diminish.

What "white privilege" are you talking about? I was never given a damn thing for being white. I only suffered discrimination for it.

But btw, I think Indian women are beautiful. I told that to a Chinese friend once and he said "Ew, really?" I guess he disagreed.

Give us an example of discrimination based on your race.

Section 1005 of the bill offers “socially disadvantaged” farm owners total debt forgiveness of up to hundreds of thousands of no-strings dollars per farmer. But white men needn’t apply. The bill’s definition of “socially disadvantaged,” drawn from elsewhere in federal law, limits aid to racial groups who faced historic discrimination.

Newly elected Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), who proposed the measure, says it will make up for years of discrimination. Sorry, senator, but this is discrimination.

...



Here’s the hitch: Only women, veterans and owners of “socially and economically disadvantaged” concerns (again, defined racially elsewhere in federal law) may apply during the program’s first three weeks. Most white males go to the back of the line, even if their needs are more pressing.

Treating white male farmers and restaurant owners like second-class citizens violates the principle that we are all equal under the law, a principle guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.

Where I am from, being lighter (even though everyone is white) meant that you are not a farm laborer, that is belonged to a higher social class. That was the case until 1920's or 1930's, at which point well-tanned females became fashionable, and even now light brownish skin color is considered more attractive than milk-white (sorry, Irishpersons).

This type of admission discrimination exists throughout every single damned school in US of A. Unfortunately, people can avoid seeing the reality around them if they try hard enough.

Thankfully all of the Liberal Refugees that still believe in Shitting on the streets, fleeing to Florida. Will most likely end up in another Liberal shithole(They seek each other out) like Broward, Tampa or Dade. Where they wont effect other counties in Florida. And thankfully thanks to Matt Gaetz, Ron DeSantis shut down the School of "Dirty Deeds Crooked Elections". We don't have mass mail in voting, and we require Voter ID for all counted votes.

Another positive thing to remember also. Those shrinking Blue States, besides the fleeing population. They also shrunk in Census data, because they don't count.
So for Florida and Texas, I think the net gain from California and New York, will be offset by Florida weeding out the illegals from out census data.
That alone will be huge for mitigating the elections going forward. They wont have the extra 3 or 5 million extra people on the voter rolls to hide the phantom votes.

farmer2021 says

Lot of white women try to tan specifically to get to brown shades preferred by "top men" as you call it.

I remember reading somewhere that white skin used to be associated with not having to work in the sun. With the industrial revolution whiteness became associated with having to work in the factory and a nice tan showed the world that you had leisure time.

Yup.

There's also scholarships / grants / etc... specifically for all kinds of identities, including skin colors, except for being white.

Being beat up by the black kids in the project because I was white.

Not getting extra points on the civil service exam because I'm white.

Getting passed up for promotion because I'm white and would not increase "diversity".

Being accused of having privilege because I'm white.

Racists are always talking about color rather than character. The party of slavery and discrimination is still trying to enslave people with discrimination.

I was explicitly denied a speaking spot at SXSW for a technical talk which was otherwise acceptable. The reason was my race. I, as a white man, was rejected for not contributing to the "diversity" of the tech talks. It was purely about my race and they told me so.

How's that for an example?

I think Whites playing victim games is not useful. Actually "No competent" person looks good playing victim games.

Just because white people are discrimiminated against doesn't mean they are victims.

And anyone that treats anyone a certain way because of skin color is a racist.

farmer2021 says

Dude, we literally can't do anything, specifically white males. It's been going on for a long time. At my college a group started CIA, Caucasians In Action. Had nothing to do with other races. It was literally about helping out fellow white males get jobs, etc. University forced it to be shut down. Meanwhile there are dozens of other racially based groups looking to get a bigger piece of the pie than they already have. Half weren't even qualified to get in to my University.

Whites and Asians are last in line for scholarships and jobs because of diversity. This is simple fact. There are white valedictorians of large high schools that cannot get into Ivy League schools because of manufactured quotas by the government. It holds back society to a huge degree. There's really no disputing this.

As a white male, I have been discriminated against most of my life. But I’m NOT a victim! I am a fucking conqueror who has a few roadblocks to blast my way past. The Marxists and their race baiting fuckery can only hold a good white man down if he gives up and admits defeat.

Have I played by the rules? Nope. And that’s because the rules are irrelevant. I have my own sense of morality which comes from God and not from the fickle laws of men. If your rules violate His law, I consider them to be minor obstacles. And I am smart enough to know when and how to callously violate the hell out of them so that your purpose to oppress me fails.
