If you are referring to the US, it's more because of the proportional treatment of indigenous, Hispanic, and black people by the government, historically speaking. Not because a particular group is too successful.

For example, if you read about the history of the Trail of Tears and slavery, those were long-term instances of oppression to specific groups. Not that Indians or East Asians haven't had periods of poor treatment, but the government had a hand in making it almost impossible for the aforementioned groups to accumulate wealth or property in America over the centuries.

If you look at the reason why Title IX exists, it is not because "men are too successful", if that makes sense.

The fact that people exist who actually blame Obama should be proof enough that our society was mentally ill far before social media.

Swap "information" with "ML-optimized and personalized dopamine dispenser". At what age would it be appropriate to own such a device?

Do you really think welfare and other social services would go away (in the near future)? Seems like political suicide.

"The northwest" isn't really much different than Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Tennessee, culturally speaking. You are probably thinking of big city culture, which you would see around Seattle and Portland, but then you would also see that in Columbus, OH or Atlanta, GA.

It sounds like they have a pretty solid take on good destinations as a minority, since they have experienced quite a bit that they would still see in the areas you mentioned.

By the way, people fly confederate flags in the northwest too!
