Pro Sports is not just entertainment. It serves a psychological purpose for the masses.
Any mental gymnastics used to support affirmative action in business or schooling should also apply to sports. If I hear someone complaining about lack of representation of X in certain field I will gladly point at NBA and Asian Americans ask them out that.
The thing with exponential growth is that by the time you realize it, it is too late
Yang has gone from 0 to 1 and is going to see exponential growth as Iowa gets closer. All these articles are people who have a distorted views of reality and chalk up his support as bots in order to fit their world view. The most likely reason from my observation is bias against Asian American men in leadership positions.
Also polls are politicized now.
The establishment is running through mental gymnastic excercise to rationalize these results. Thus them calling all supporters bots
Also the tint of anti Asian American racism - similar to SV when the hiring team or management group tries to talk themselves into finding reasons to not like a qualified candidate that does not fit the mold of the obediant Asian worker drone. Usually done insidiously to cast doubt on a person's character etc.
It is intentionally difficult to find and requires legwork since I believe it is intentionally obfuscated.
Secondly, why doesn’t Harvard just admit Asian Americans that score poorly to bring the Average down and chalk it up to amazing character?
