There are areas in the "open-minded" Bay Area that have never met a Conservative.

David Kirp, the author of the book (but not, obviously, of the quote) was a member of President Obama’s transition team back in 2008.

We have the United Nations working at all these places.

Jesse Jerks on, last time I checked Asians and Indians were minorities. Now, why not tell your race that dropping out of school, or playing sports is not the real world. Also tell them if I see one more applicants with a name starting with ‘La’, ‘Qa’ or ‘Xz’, I’ll throw it in the trash.

This is the tax accounting department - so technical with an ever changing set of rules.

My family has several engineering - unfortunately for me I’m not one. Never would have been able to handle that math.

Is Silicon Valley less diverse than the National Basketball Association?
Is the median NBA salary less of a living wage than the median Silicon Valley salary?
Ditto the National Football League.

HHS dumping Verizon for Hewlett-Packard to host HealthCare.gov

As the new infrastructure/host enabler of healthcare.gov,
hp richly deserves everything rev. jackson does to them.

It is like Daimler-Benz building aircraft engines for the Nazis.

If one minority is not well represented, perhaps Jesse could better spend his time encouraging its kids to complete math ...

First he would have to get them to stop shooting each other.

While responding to your question, the answer became too long.
So I made it a separate blog post. You can read the answer here:

Agreed. Shooting each other is a pretty undesirable way to reduce the ranks of the unemployed.
