Freeman is black? I guess he is.

I didn't notice.

Back around 2000 when diversity programs were starting, Sallie Mae started one. All employees were required to attend. I went to my scheduled diversity training in the auditorium. Session ended around lunchtime. I kind of chuckled afterwards when I noticed those of Indian descent, Asian descent and blacks went to lunch with their own. Lol

White chick brings a non-white dude home
Black chick brings a non-black dude home
Hispanic chick brings a non-hispanic dude home
Asian chick brings a non-asian dude home

Assuming your most run of the mill 100% ethnic household for each - which dude is least likely and most likely to leave and never come back?

Interesting study.

I found the study abstract. The study itself seems to be behind a pay wall. The abstract did not mention any of the supposedly block buster conclusions the poster on twitter presents. With that in mind I would take that summation with a bit more than a grain of salt.

Based on my own personal experience, if the white dude who the Hispanic chick brings home is a redneck dummy they end up getting married.

I'd say a poll of 7 million is pretty accurate. It's called ethnic nepotism. It is still the primary reason why those of a certain ethnicity prefer their own. They tend to share the same values and feel more comfortable with them. There's nothing wrong with that if that's what they prefer. They key isn't getting everyone to be one big happy group. They key is just getting everyone to better understand the others and accept them for who they are.

Ethnic nepotism is wrong if you are white. Everyone else high five.

As I mentioned above the abstract for the study did not mention the same conclusions presented un The tweet and the original study was behind a pay wall. Putting your faith in/staking out a position based on a meme on twitter is pretty ridiculous.

Being behind a paywall doesn't discredit the study.

Ok sure.

Rich people can however, fuck up multiple times and get stood back up. I mean look at Trump and RFK Jr.

Poor people, not so much.

Poor people can succeed multiple times and get drug back down.

In extreme cases your only avenue is to completely "sell out" and cut off ties if only to be a normal functioning member of society.

I have always said rich people go to rehab, poor people go to jail. Same drugs are in the system of the mothers (and babies) at the rich hospital as the poor hospital - one set is prescribed and the other is not. Money doesn't make the man (or woman).

You are amazing at what NOT to do and pretty useless at what TO do.

Go to church, get married to someone of the opposite sex, have kids, be normal. Show up on time and sober.

Saying shit doesn't make it true - this is why everyone makes fun of you.
