Hillary Clinton 8

I wanted to mention the meritocracy game and the liberation game because Hillary Clinton is a product of her time. She has done very well in both of these games and is by all measures a success story. Then, it is really the time to make minorities equal with what is perceived as the majority. This is what will unify the United States and make it solid.
Now, women, technically, are not a minority. I believe that population-wise, women are actually a majority of the United States. Women, many women, believe that it is discrimination which has prevented them from getting tenures at univerisity and even becoming President. So there are quotas for women in university positions, quotas in perhaps many other fields although it is not stated directly. Many other minorities have followed suit and stuck to the same position as women.
BUT seriously, in the current world, in the current age of the Internet and of the Global Perspective, what does discrimination mean? I can say that I really don't have much against the Japanese except their historical denial of what they did to China or Korea during the World War II, but I don't even bother asking Japanese people about this because they either know nothing about it or they get offended. The Japanese are so sensitive. They still have a Genji-like soul or something. I still don't understand why they are constantly asking for apologizes from the US for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and also the internment of Japanese when they did 100 times worse things to the Chinese, Korean, Phillipinos, and Australians also I believe. I mean, quite frankly, I just don't understand where this discrimination game is going? Am I really being discrimatory to Japanese? No, I'm not but why do they make me feel this way? Anyway, to cut a long story short. I no longer discuss anything unpleasant with Japanese people. I just have no desire to know them either.
But do you see how strange this game is? For instance, what happens if women, at some point, surpass the tenure quota in universities? Are rapists going to argue that women are gaining too much power and that they actually run the univerisity system and that's why they need to be raped? Well, the powerful WASPS once argued and still argue that if the 25% quota on Jews becomes enlarged, the public antagonism against the Jews will perhaps become violent.
So Hillary Clinton should simply work to get rid of the quota system altogether. The best person for the job will get the university job or the Presidency and if there is discrimation against that person then that person needs the balls and the muscle to protect himself or herself.
When I really think about what blacks say about Asians, what Asians say about blacks, what all of us colored people say about white men, what women say about white men, what I say about myself, when I think about what nonsense and stupidity is out there about each other, I think that discrimation is a fair game and there is plenty to go around.
Of course, I do not see there is way too many negative things said about Hispanics and Blacks and this is discrimination.
Having a love of books, I've always loved the black or African writers very much and black literature is world literature.
What I'm trying to say is that there are fields in which various countries have put more money in and where there is more time and devotion toward those disciplines. East Asians are very serious about the sciences and mathematics. India also. Blacks have great literature, great sport players, great actors and directors (Spike Lee has always been one of my favorities), and great soul and love. Whites have great business, great art, great music, great literature, and great moderation. If the US was able to synergize all these talents and able to lay down some of the exaggerated personality conflicts, we could again become a great country.
This is the kind of America I would like to see, but I don't see this kind of country forming under Hillary Clinton. The kind of country that I see forming under Hillary Clinton is "Lifestyle" liberalism America.
