    Conclusion

    As Mr. Carl writes, white Americans today “suffer from downward
    economic mobility, declining fertility, rising drug addiction and
    depression, and narrowing opportunities, all piled onto a false
    presumption of privilege.” Any vestigial advantages they may still
    derive from belonging to America’s historical majority are “informal
    and evanescent cultural legacies,” whereas “the discrimination they experience is . . . increasingly legal and formal.”

    Obviously, if there were any real “white privilege,” non-whites would
    be trying to “pass” for white (as they once did). Instead, we see a flight from white. The reported American Indian population ballooned
    from 0.4 percent in 1970 to nearly 3 percent in 2020, not due to any explosion in fertility but to an increase in Elizabeth Warren-style
    claims aimed at getting non-white privilege.

    This is all total nonsense. Elizabeth Warren wasn't trying to get any
    non-while privilege by reporting her family tradition of some
    American-Indian ancestry. She might have been trying to put down a
    marker as being somebody who wasn't worried about admitting it, but that
    falls a long way short of a claim on any (non-existent) non-white privilege.

    And of course this kind of nonsense is even less tolerable on sci.electronics,design than it might be on rec.sport.tennis

    Mostly correct. Usury was charging excessive interest rates. While
    in college in the 1960's, I was the local loan shark. The college

    money. I had no trouble getting paid because I knew that the very
    last thing they wanted was for me to inform their parents of their
    son's activities.

    I'm sure none of that loan money was spent on beer or Playboy
    magazines.

    I'm reading a surprisingly interesting book now,

    I'm a german-irish protestant-catholic mutt, but I've always had close
    Jewish friends (and girlfriends) for some reason. They were smart,
    kind, friendly, and neurotic. Fun.

    (There were dark rumors in my family of a bit of Jewish ancestry and,
    much worse, a hint of French.)

    DNA may not be your friend.

    I always thought that I was half Ohio German farmer and half New
    Orleans white mongrel. Turned out I was about a quarter Irish, and so
    on, so my Mother's theory about 100% German could not be complete.

    Despite all the Jewish girlfriends, no Jewish roots.

    My Irish wife found all this hilarious.

    I grew up in New Orleans and when I reached The Age of Reason (32 in
    my case) I moved to San Francisco.

    NOLA is cool in many respects. It's not so much a southern city but an
    island of weirdness that happens to be in the South.

    But not a good place to design electronics. The culture is all wrong.
