This chart really sheds light on the baseline infection at the start of the Delta wave.

More people saying I am fake and really someone with Indian ancestry.
They’re wrong. And they’re just revealing their own racist assumptions.
True Americans fight for equality for everyone, as I have always done.

Our policy of excluding professionals with advanced degrees (EB-2) from becoming Americans if they were born in India is now broadening to exclude “priority workers” with “extraordinary abilities” or “outstanding professors or researchers” (EB-1) if they were born in India.
The August 2023 US State Department visa bulletin has retrogressed the EB-1 dates, the visa for extraordinary ability, for Indians by TEN years from 2022 to 2012.
The US has sent a clear message: "We don't care if you won a Nobel Prize, If you're Indian, you're outta luck."

“To avoid a blatant quota system, Harvard introduced subjective criteria like character, personality”
“Harvard consistently rated Asian Americans applicants lower than others on traits like positive personalit, likability, courage, kindness”

America’s shameful Indian Exclusion:
“2005: moved to the US to do masters in data science
2007: finished masters and began working
2011: company filed for my green card
“2014: I hired an Iranian as an analyst
2019: Analyst from Iran became a US citizen.
“I am still waiting”
Story of many Indian born high-skilled immigrant stuck in 90+ years green card backlog due to discriminatory country caps in EB category.

I’m so furious at this widely accepted racism on the Left and among universities.
I spit on the admissions officers who make this advice necessary. They disgust me.
"There are college coaches saying, 'In your application, make yourself not look Asian as much as you can.' It's so brutal nowadays."

When the California state legislature passed the constitutional amendment now on the ballot as Prop 16, over and over lawmakers in favor of legalizing racial discrimination said this was appropriate because “race matters!”
They said “we all know in our hearts that race matters”

When more students exceeded standards, or scored higher on their APs, their Berkeley acceptance rate at their school was lower.
That is entirely correct and clear. Individual students obviously don’t have acceptance rates, it’s just yes/no for them.

California universities are the best in the nation at providing upward social mobility.
They already offer opportunity to all regardless of race.
We do not need or want race-based admissions. No

So perhaps the Omicron wave must infect more people to find a similar number of people vulnerable to ending up in the ICU or worse.
And perhaps because there are fewer, Omicron will run out of them sooner.
Already declining cases in Gauteng suggest that may be happening.

The total lack of any good arguments against the EAGLE Act is best illustrated by the fact that opponents make up accusations that have absolutely nothing to do with the bill.
The
#EagleAct
does not deal with illegal immigration.
It ends discrimination between legal immigrants.
The EAGLE Act will incentivize illegal immigration AND take away job opportunities from Americans.
Call Congress today and tell them to vote NO for the EAGLE Act.⬇

South African study of 16,753 people controls for the effects of vaccine and prior infection to find:
- Omicron only about 25% less intrinsically fatal then Delta.
- Most of the reduction in fatality was due to vaccination and prior infection.

So are you telling me that the economists’ answer to the question:
“how do we incentivize companies to produce enough rapid tests?”
is
“stop prohibiting their rapid tests”?

That’s because these are not samples. They are the averages for each high school where the data is from all students and not a sample.

I’ve added a bunch of AP and CAASPP test score data for high schools from and one thing has become clear:
The change in UC admissions after 2020 is more than disparate racial impact. It seems like a generalized disregard for merit in admissions.

N. Gu was also admitted to Northeastern University, but will not attend due to cost.
Northeastern does not require essays in its application. I theorize that a lack of creative writing skills hampered all of 3 these first generation students despite applying for eng/comp sci.

In 2020, the number of offers UCSD extended per graduating senior at LA/OC public schools (regardless of how many applied) was positively correlated to the number of top scores that students at the school earned on their AP tests.
In 2022, that correlation was obliterated.

D. Kim will attend Irvine Valley community college studying computer science with the hope of transferring to a top 6 University of California campus.
H. Yee will study economics at an undisclosed university, and will not pursue his first choice of engineering.
