It's not. It's something I've learned in my foreign policy classes. It's an objective fact that Chinese and Indian immigrants are exceptionally smart and talented, and that the diversity quota is specifically designed to prevent one or two countries from dominating in terms of immigration.
No, you're correct. It's just the Daily Show being the Daily Show.
In this case it was clear it was ISIS, in others Trump has been just as swift to judge and demand action immediately. And the point still stands about his & everyone's hesitance to change gun laws no matter how many mass shootings pile up on White House's front door while every & any case of muslims doing something wrong is used as proof of needing tighter immigration control.
Did you watch the video? It's not about Trump assuming this guy was Muslim. If that is your thinking from just reading the quote posted with the video. Having a hard time figuring out what you mean.
Because his motives are now clear?
Can a fact be racist? If it makes you feel any better, their exceptionalism is born from their education rather than any genetic superiority.
"I'm not being racist but people from these countries are not talented/smart."
You said:
My apologies. I assumed it was obvious that I was being hyperbolic in response to Trump. Still, the percentage of Indian/Chinese immigrants would be absurdly high compared to those from other countries, which I don't think is good for the country.
Ah ok. Yea I would for sure to expect certain countries to be disproportionately promoted with a a greater merit based system.
For sure. One of our best competitive advantages is that so many very smart people want to live in the US. Giving that up to China or Canada would be the beginning of the end.
You may not have meant to, but your "only two types of people..." is an absolute, which doesn't recognize the many people from other countries that would perform well enough to get in based on a merit-based system. There are other countries besides India and China that educate people well and prepare them to be great contributors in a wide range of fields.
See above. It was hyperbole. Still, I would expect something like 75-80% Chinese/Indian if the diversity quota was gone. The quota is already being pushed to allow 20-40% (can't remember which) Chinese/Indian.
What's actually racist is you ignoring the progress that both the Chinese and Indians have made in their education systems to cultivate so many bright people.
