The North Thurston Public School district in Washington State has evidently decided that Asians no longer qualify as ‘persons of color‘ because they inconveniently do not chronically under-perform academically the way Blacks and Hispanics do:

In their latest equity report, administrators at North Thurston Public Schools—which oversees some 16,000 students—lumped Asians in with whites and measured their academic achievements against “students of color,” a category that includes “Black, Latinx, Native American, Pacific Islander, and Multi-Racial Students” who have experienced “persistent opportunity gaps.”

Most indicators in the report show that the achievement gap between white/Asian students and “students of color” is fairly narrow and improving over time. It would probably be even narrower if Asian students were categorized as “students of color.”

Way back when South Africa was segregated and ruled by whites and was prosperous, they did a lot of business with Japan. As it would have been insulting to put visiting Japanese businessmen in hotels for colored, they were declared honorary whites.

My birthday is Tuesday. I can remember adults arguing about the election of 1948 in 1949. What can you remember from 1949?

I helped my father pass out Republican leaflets in 1948. I remember Truman conceding, but, of course, it didn't mean a thing.

If you could read in 1948, then you are older than I am. Congratulations.

But I think New Yorkers age faster than regular Americans because your taxes are so much higher.

I once explained to a Scotsman visiting America that there is in economics a Balanced Budget theorem which proves that we would become much richer if we all paid more taxes. He got red. I told him I disagreed with the theorem.
