He never used the term white Americans anywhere in that tweet.

If you have to resort to lying about what he actually said, maybe you should sit this out and go learn about how to have honest debates and not lie and put words in peoples mouths they did not say.

Ironically, your post is an indictment on what is wrong with our current culture. What you just did is exactly what he's railing against. Dishonesty and laziness.

You should not call me a liar flippantly when I already explained this in previous post. I am right about this issue and you are the mark being placated by a con man.


You assert he's talking about "white culture" even though he never says that.

Tell me this. Has American culture always been this lazy and uneducated and unhealthy? No it has not. So what has changed? Do we suddenly have more whites now than ever before? No we do not. But have we changed our educational system and our minimum expectations over the past 50 years to accommodate low-performing groups? Yes we have.

So it's no white culture, it's American culture that has changed. And what has caused that change? A desire for "social justice" and "racial equality" to "serve" certain minority groups.

So yes, you inserting the words "white culture" was a blatant and lazy lie on your part.

Here is what I previously posted seeing as you are incapable of reading. Nice to see you don't have an AgTag, at least A&M has some standard still.


Quote:

This is following a 48 hour conversation where Indians are specifically railing about the inability of white Americans to participate in the tech industry. He is implicitly stating that white people, the majority ethnic group in America, are incapable of this work.

He is lying. Even if there is a cultural problem, we have more than enough smart and talented Americans ready and willing to do the job. An overwhelming majority of them being white

American culture is white culture.

Vivek just exposed a massive rift between the Musk/Vivek "tech right" and the American nationalists.

We dont want any more Indians. We dont want any more third world immigration period. Hell, most of us don't want anyone from Norway or Hungary either. We have enough people. We need to convince Americans to get off their asses and make ween companies off the third world labor teat.


But when Chad and Karen would rather live at home with mom and dad instead of getting the jobs the third world immigrants like Vivek are happily taking, what else can be done except to hire them? Wages have gone to and Chad and Karen still would rather stay home than work. How else do you convince them to work when it's obvious they don't want to.
Even "green card" farm and ranch hands from Mexico know how to live 4 to a two bedroom house, save money, and get ahead.
It only took me a year to figure out this place is nuts!

What part of that tweet was inaccurate?

My kid who was valedictorian of her class was bullied and treated like dirt by her classmates from 1st grade on, while the kids who couldn't read but could qualify for state in athletics got parades.

My son was the snart guy who never got in trouble on the football team.. and was treated like dirt by his teammates and coaches. While the trouble makers who never made over 50 on a test had their grades changed to passing and were constantly bailed out of trouble they started to keep them eligible to play football.

And I also remember back to junior high when I got tired of getting my ass kicked every day for constantly having the highest grades… I started missing a few questions on tests on purpose, just so the teachers wouldn't congratulate me for working hard and earning the highest grades… and getting my ass kicked after class.

He is absolutely right that our cultural priorities are fubar.


You must have lived in the absolute worst school areas in America because this is not a common occurrence.

There are cultural problems, but we are still pumping out more than enough homegrown talent. He is blatantly lying about the extent to save face for the fact that he wants to import more people like him to grow the influence of his ethnic people.


You are either incredibly ignorant or the "g" in your handle is short for "gaslighting". I challenge you to read about what public education was in the early 20th century compared to now and then tell me you still agree with your stance.

He doesn't say white. He's pointing at the American culture. I agree with him. We have cultural problems….mostly brought on by the left. Other cultures that are recently successful stick to the basics of education for their youth. We, on the other hand, teach them wokeism.
As long as I stay out of cities, I don't encounter much in the way of American culture problems.

Except maybe having one's face glued to their smart phone, but that's hardly just America.

I understand the history of education. Do you? You still seem to have problems with reading comprehension.

We have a cultural problem in America, but we still manage to produce the best and brightest options in the world in spite of that. More than enough to supply the tech industry.

We don't need a million subpar Indian immigrants to support our country. We can do it ourselves, but people like Vivek and Musk want to pay pennies on the dollar for slave labor.

Maybe it's more common than you think. I'm old, but they used to name the A Honor Roll students during the morning announcements. Might as well have taped a target on their back.

No, it's not. That's my point. In 2024 American culture is NOT white culture.

Again, answer my question. What has changed in the last 50+ years?? More whites? Read the census results. Not the case percentage wise.

So if American culture has change, but the percentage of whites has gone down, how can you possibly sit there and assert that "American culture is white culture"?????

Again, you are either a liar or incredibly ignorant and uneducated. I was trying to be nice and accuse you of the former. The latter seems worse to me.

Yes, the culture created by Americans and instilled in this nation that we hope to assimilate all immigrants into is white culture. This country has ALWAYS been a supermajority white, of which it still is. American culture is white culture. And we built the best culture and society on Earth.

I would agree with that our culture has degraded the less white this country has become.

Regardless, we still have more than enough workers to fill the tech industry. You're getting duped by an Indian con man. I hope your children (if you have them) hide your phone and computer when you get older.

That sucks. I'm sorry your kids had to endure bad behavior by others. It boils my blood. I was a football player and a good student. We had one ahole on the team that was a bully. One day I say him slam a friend of mine, who was on the chess team, against his locker. I laid the POS out and he never messed with my friend again. I think I was fortunate that my high school didn't have the culture you describe.

The best of American culture is white culture. As we have lost our culture our society has degenerated. Unless your argument is "we have lost our culture so we need to continue without new culture which is blatantly inferior to what it was" I'm not sure what your point is.

You are assuming that the "caps" and limiting residency seats are the problem. The real reason that training hours are long and that it lasts multiple years is because to be a well-trained physician, you have to be around when the rare conditions present themselves. If you only treated horses then you can get away with a 40 hour training workweek, but you AND the zebra are going to be SOL when they come in with an emergency.

There are two different discussions happening here.

Culture is tangential to the issue.

The fact remains, it's cheaper to bring in Indians to do the work. That is the ONLY reason they push for visas. There is no shortage. Any other reason is baloney.

Now, does flooding the country change the culture? Absolutely...but that's a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself.

And if you go into any city in Texas, you absolutely see the symptom. My kids were the minority in the elementary and middle schools, with respect to Indian families. Their HS was about evenly split. That's becoming more and more common in Texas suburbs.

But don't let them fool you when they claim there isn't enough qualified candidates. It's just cheaper.

It is not something I am 100% familiar with, but I have heard friends in the medical field mention cap issues.

I think most doctors, all things being equal, would prefer to work less than 80-100 hours a week. If dedicated, I think we could find a solution that does not sacrifice quality of training.

correct, all it boils down to is that guys like Elon, Vivek, Thiel want cheap labor who will be "yes men" and work 80hrs a week with no complaints. They won't get that from Americans and they know that

100%.

My issue is that they can still get that, with remote employees out of the country. It's super common. But it's easier for them to import.

It's not much different than when people were importing cheap labor to lay train rails, or build infrastructure. It's just the modern, high tech version.

So, you hate the Indian guy who is a self-made billionaire by inserting "white" into the comment he made so you can make your point, even though that wasn't the point he was making at all.

Look at Japanese and Chinese cultures. They are industrious and hard-working. And highly educated. Way more educated than we are right now.

Newsflash Sparky: we have to CHANGE our current culture, our educational system, and our minimum expectations if we have any hope of keeping our current way of life.

Continuing with the status quo is not going to do it. That's the definition of insanity.

I think Vivek knows better than you what is lacking and what is needed. By the way, he was born in OHIO, so if you are going to accuse him of favoring importing Indians because he's partial to Indians, then you are missing the point entirely.

But you hate his words because he is brown and has a non-Anglo name. I suggest you put your racism aside and listen to what he is saying. We have to get back to our early 20th century expectations of both education and work culture. Period.

And if you go into any city in Texas, you absolutely see the symptom. My kids were the minority in the elementary and middle schools, with respect to Indian families. Their HS was about evenly split. That's becoming more and more common in Texas suburbs.

But don't let them fool you when they claim there isn't enough qualified candidates. It's just cheaper.
correct, all it boils down to is that guys like Elon, Vivek, Thiel want cheap labor who will be "yes men" and work 80hrs a week with no complaints. They won't get that from Americans and they know that


100%.

My issue is that they can still get that, with remote employees out of the country. It's super common. But it's easier for them to import.

It's not much different than when people were importing cheap labor to lay train rails, or build infrastructure. It's just the modern, high tech version.

Ummm... no
yes it is, traditional Americana culture goes back to Northern European and Anglo values. A lot of Hispanic culture is similar except that it comes from Spain and the southern peninsula. To say it's not Anglo culture is a lie

Vivek? The guy who just tweeted that White Americans have a bad culture?




He never used the term white Americans anywhere in that tweet.

If you have to resort to lying about what he actually said, maybe you should sit this out and go learn about how to have honest debates and not lie and put words in peoples mouths they did not say.

Ironically, your post is an indictment on what is wrong with our current culture. What you just did is exactly what he's railing against. Dishonesty and laziness.

You should not call me a liar flippantly when I already explained this in previous post. I am right about this issue and you are the mark being placated by a con man.


You assert he's talking about "white culture" even though he never says that.

Tell me this. Has American culture always been this lazy and uneducated and unhealthy? No it has not. So what has changed? Do we suddenly have more whites now than ever before? No we do not. But have we changed our educational system and our minimum expectations over the past 50 years to accommodate low-performing groups? Yes we have.

So it's no white culture, it's American culture that has changed. And what has caused that change? A desire for "social justice" and "racial equality" to "serve" certain minority groups.

So yes, you inserting the words "white culture" was a blatant and lazy lie on your part.


American culture is white culture.


No, it's not. That's my point. In 2024 American culture is NOT white culture.

Again, answer my question. What has changed in the last 50+ years?? More whites? Read the census results. Nit the case percentage wise.

So is American culture has change, but the percentage of whites has gone down, how can you possibly sit there and assert that "American culture is white culture"?????

Again, you are either a liar or incredibly ignorant and uneducated. I was trying to be nice and accuse you of the former. The latter seems worse to me.
Yes, the culture created by Americans and instilled in this nation that we hope to assimilate all immigrants into is white culture. This country has ALWAYS been a supermajority white, of which it still is. American culture is white culture. And we built the best culture and society on Earth.

I would agree with that our culture has degraded the less white this country has become.

Regardless, we still have more than enough workers to fill the tech industry. You're getting duped by an Indian con man. I hope your children (if you have them) hide your phone and computer when you get older.



So, you hate the Indian guy who is a self-made billionaire by inserting "white" into the comment he made so you can make your point, even though that wasn't the point he was making at all.

Look at Japanese and Chinese cultures. They are industrious and hard-working. And highly educated. Way more educated than we are right now.

Newsflash Sparky: we have to CHANGE our current culture, our educational system, and our minimum expectations if we have any hope of keeping our current way of life.

Continuing with the status quo is not going to do it. That's the definition of insanity.

I think Vivek knows better than you what is lacking and what is needed. By the way, he was born in OHIO, so if you are going to accuse him of favoring importing Indians because he's partial to Indians, then you are missing the point entirely.

But you hate his words because he is brown and has a non-Anglo name. I suggest you put your racism aside and listen to what he is saying. We have to get back to our early 20th century expectations of both education and work culture. Period.
Oh my gosh, was I being racist? I am so SORRY!!!! I understand that is the greatest sin in the world. Please, send 1 billion indians to America as punishment on my behalf.

A dog born in a stable is not a horse. Vivek does not have the same connection to America as the people whose ancestors spilt blood to create and secure this nation.

We have enough Americans to be successful. We don't need any imported slave labor.

Edit: I agree. Early 20th century immigration policy would be perfect. Immigration Act of 1924 works for me! We can even use the 1890 census.

The best of American culture is white culture. As we have lost our culture our society has degenerated. Unless your argument is "we have lost our culture so we need to continue without new culture which is blatantly inferior to what it was" I'm not sure what your point is.

Another indictment of our modern educational system and minimum expectations.

My point was that Vivek NEVER said "white culture" as Gaslighting23 asserted in his post. American culture HAS become uneducated (relatively speaking) and lazy. That should not be debatable. But people like Gaslighting23 want to dishonestly claim that Vivek is stating that "white culture" has become lazy and uneducated, and my point is that not only is he not saying "white culture", but when you look at modern "American culture", you can't honestly call what we see has happened as being "white culture".

lol "way more educated than we are right now" why? Because you saw a tiktok of kids in Hong Kong?

You see the top 1% of 1% and think all some odd billions of them are like that. I employ a ton of Indians in the UAE, they're like herding cats. Even the ones with MBA's and MS's in engineering that are in high school curriculum.

look at what he wrote, the popular jock, the prom queen/king, 90s television. That pretty obvious to anybody with a brain he's talking about whites, popular whites if you will.
