Racism is making a comeback in the guise of authoritarianism or fascism. The West is suppressing free speech and unfairly elevating people not based on talent and merit, but by those who are aligned with their/our ‘ideology.’ This is understandable, considering the rise of China, and the future of the West. I for one, am of Asian decent, and grew up in the West so you can say I’ve been ‘cultured’ by both sides of the isle. But it shouldn’t be about a specific group – but our species as a whole. This is not good – but hey, what do I know – I’m just some guy with a laptop. Obviously I want my ‘team’ to win – but at the risk of the Truth? What’s the best solution? Obviously for the greatest good for the greatest amount of people right? I don’t have a dog in this race, with no allies other than God, but the truth will and must prevail. Man, politics is scary.
