"This isn't that crazy, till 1914 in the U.S."

Are you sure nothing has changed about the economy since 1914?

It's 77% if you count people of Spanish origin as European which you should because they are.

hyper-nationalistic, filled with bravado, lauding yet reserved, sense of authenticity, extremely humble, it's austere, category of conversation in many other contexts, optimism from a source that does not appear to use it as an instrument of control

Sorry English is not my first language and it is not easy for me to understand such advanced writing.

Is it that you like the sort of pride that quantifies the material wealth of the nation and attributes it to a market based economy and furthermore there are other sorts of pride that do you not like?

In fairness, "expats giving us jobs" is hardly the same thing.

It is important to understand the United States is leading a bombing campaign that has recently killed over 50,000 people in Syria and Iraq. Killing people on a vast scale from countries and also accepting immigrants (including military age males) from the same country at the same time is more complicated than #WereACountryOfImmigrants.

This is the first legal test of the pervasive practice of Indian nationals hiring predominantly or exclusively other Indian nationals from their same region in India.

edit:

From the Department of Labor complaint:

"...Oracle nevertheless preferred Asian applications over other qualified applicants in the Professional Technical 1, Individual Contributor Job group and in the Product Development job group at statistically significant rates."

Who is it who is favoring Asian applicants for this job group?

This sort of bias is a danger when hiring decisions are made at a team level rather than a systematic company-wide process like at Google.

Small and midsize businesses

"midsize enterprise is defined as organizations that make more than $50 million, but less than $1 billion in annual revenue"

So -- no -- businesses with $1 billion in revenue are not running off a Facebook page.
