Shouting Thomas is right on. I've worked in technical fields for 20+ years. I've worked with many asians, middle easterners, few blacks, few latinos (the latter two groups are, shall we say "underrepresented"), etc. Very few stack up to the white (men) engineers. In fact, all over, even in so-called "diverse" offices, its the white guys who do the heavy lifting. Blacks are almost non-existent. Of the couple dozen or so I've worked with (mostly at government agencies), only one was competent (not good, mind you), and the rest were worthless. Latinos are not that bright either, though they do work hard, but are quite sloppy. Asians, arabs, etc, technically trained but simply not practical. They also tend to do sloppy work, except for the chinese and japanese. I've worked with many hundreds of people through the years, so I've seen a lot and talked to a lot of people. I've worked in government, outside of government, and for private companies that do government work.

So its whining when people complain about anti-white discrimination that is real (indeed, its a policy!)? I thought whining was a word reserved for complaining about trivial things like losing a parking space or having a sore foot. If you want to place losing or being shut out of employment opportunities and the many tens of thousands of dollars that go with that to demonstrably less competent foreigners and non-whites, I don't see how it applies. I find it amazing that some white people (I'm guessing here) are so willing to see others of their own kind discriminated against because of their race, and are complacent about it! Its just a matter time before it comes to you! Its just ridiculous!

As far as Cal Tech goes, here's how it works--the graduate students who do research that you are referring to are increasingly asians not because white men can't do that work, but because white men don't linger around in engineering colleges when they can be out in the real world actually working on real projects and making real money. A graduate degree in engineering actually doesn't pay off in the long run, and most engineers, being good at math, know it. Hell, I got accepted to one of the top five engineering schools' graduate programs. I didn't take it because it would have cost me too much. Most of the research going on in such places is meaningless anyway--the engineering side of the campus is under the same publish or perish pressure as the liberal arts side.

Microsoft is blatantly anti-american and H1-b friendly. That's also why its software is perpetually late and full of holes. I wouldn't look to them as being some sort of software mecca. Jesus, they almost have a monopoly!

Also, Alec says white males instead of white men because he has been trained to do so and doesn't have the independent thinking or pride to reject the label. The same is true of other neutered white males who buy into the leftist/coporate anti-white cheap labor ideology. Drones.

Peter--the name says it all! peter vi, -etered,-etering,-ters 1. to come to an end slowly: DWINDLE 2. To become exhausted. petered out. Cf. salt peter (and its uses).

Etc. You get the drift.
