They are verifiable if one cares enough. I doubt anyone cares enough but they are verifiable.

"Bad faith speech"? Another made-up concept by LV426. I do not want to limit anyone's free speech--again, you do not read carefully.
Just keep our mouth shut and let everybody freely express their political views without fear of being attacked.
Since the E-Con program at Vanderbilt is rated 8th and Princeton is 17th, why would I consider Princeton over Vanderbilt?
Self-identifying as "an Asian-American" in order to bolster your argument?![]()
Here's the link showing the universities' E-Con program ratings.

Princeton is barely in the top twenty (20).
As you know, you're misrepresenting your subjective opinion as fact again. You know it, and I know it. Try to focus and reread the thread.![]()
My status as an Asian American isn't crucial for the argument. You can check the exit polls and confirm what I'm saying is true about Asian Americans generally. Every racial group other than whites saw Obama as the stronger candidate, by quite a margin. The whites, on the other hand, did what they ALWAYS do: they voted for the white guy.
Democrats have not won a majority of the white vote in a national election since the passage of Civil Rights.

It's kind of interesting when you look around at election results, even at a state-wide level (including presidential primaries, plus gubernatorial and senate elections). The tendency for the white majority to back only white candidates is extremely strong. Even when a black person wins such a race, it's usually despite losing the white majority. For example, in 2012, in Virginia, Obama won, but among white voters, it was a 24-point gap in Romney's favor. Similarly, he won New Jersey handily, but lost the white vote by 13 points. Same in Florida, where his overall win came with a loss among whites by 24 points. In New York, Obama dominated in 2012, but among white voters there, it was a 49/49 split.
The facts are exactly as I stated them. Your racism doesn't alter reality, no matter how much you wish it would.

I've never even heard of the Niche rankings. I guess it's a bit of a "niche" offering. Check the US News rankings, which are the ones people actually care about.

They are verifiable if one cares enough. I doubt anyone cares enough but they are verifiable.
You mean your unproven claim to self-identify as an Asian-American. If it's irrelevant, why did you try to to establish it?
Polls again?
I didn't try to establish it.

That's easy. You've pushed the absurd notion that Obama owes his election to his race, despite the fact that all of American history stands as a testament to what a big handicap his race is for candidates. It's your racism that drove you to take such a patently foolish position.As you know, you're unable to cite any instances of "racism" I've supposedly committed.
Yes. What you need to realize about us smart people is that we like to marshal facts to support our arguments. You'll have to take my word for that.
