There two groups of people thdt hate the new salary disclosure rules. The people thdt were getting away with getting over on others and the bitter thdt are mad that now they see what they should of made but were too scared to stand up for themselves.

Now if you're Black or a woman this law is great. I had an agency offer me $185k for a role I know was worth $220k with my level of experience. I turned it down so imagine my amusement when I see it on LinkedIn at the price it should of been.

It's a term created by super progressive white people who then told Hispanic people that it's the proper term for them. Coupled with the fact that X doesn't really work for Spanish speakers and you have a classic example of white people bullshit.

There a few studied out there about how the majority of the Hispanic community either doesn't know about the term or don't care for it at all.

I work in advertising and had to present a write up on the term. Half my team is Hispanic, bunch of Dominicans and a Cuban and they all hate the term.

Edit: Cause I know where I got my data from:

Oh it's completely NIMBYism. You have to understand how fanatical white New yorkers are about what they think is the wrong element (Black and Hispanic people). The area of Bellrose, next to Queens Village in Queens petitioned to change the name of the street running through it from Jamaica Ave to Jericho Turnpike because it sounded "too ethnic".

Here is something to keep in mind when dudes like this post these articles.

Always question why an article will post a percentage but won't show you the ACTUAL numbers. It's easy to use percentages only to push a narrative.....its a lot harder when you have the numbers that go with it.

Finally also remember that City Journal is published by the Manhattan Institute a very conservative think tank that once said that the group that cares the most about Black lives mattering were the POLICE.

It's amazingly convenient that an article will say Black people make up 25% of incidents with Asians but SOMEHOW doesn't tell you the make up of that remaining 75%. I WONDER WHY????

> The stats they present are accurate.

Nah they're not. Cause what the article is trying to do is shift the narrative to Black people by looking at likely instead of WHO IS ACTUALLY attacking Asian......that's white people.

Not once does that article present ACTUAL NUMBERS and that is deliberate. Percentages without the hard numbers behind them are ALWAYS misleading. I've seen people post articles in here claiming a certain crime jumped 70% but that translated to all of 3 more incidents.

It's not a matter of throwing a tantrum and the fact that you're trying to say I am after you've posted the same thing six times in this thread tells me less that you want to have a discussion and more that you want to just try to talk shit. No matter what you try to say the source matters and you're asking me to take the Manhattan Institute seriously when they're the same group of people who will tell you that the Ferguson effect is real and that the group that cares the most that black lives matter are cops.

With that being said I've already seen you change your answer when people called out the numbers. When you look at a national set of numbers the majority of people who have harassed Asians have been white people but then you stop saying it's about the numbers and then you start talking about it's their percentages. You're acting like I haven't seen that kind of disingenuous BS before in here and that's the part I find hilarious.

Ahhhh City Journal. Why do you dudes on here always try to come at me with City Journal like I don't know it's published by the Manhattan Institute.

You remember the conservative Manhattan Institute. Where one of their senior members said this....

Mac Donald has controversially argued that the consequences of this trend adversely affect African-American communities, stating that "there is no government agency **more dedicated to the idea that black lives matter than the police".[**47][48]

Give me a fucking break.
