Steve Bannon Suggests Having Too Many Asian Tech CEOs Undermines 'Civic Society' (theverge.com)
In an interview last year with Donald Trump -- that The Washington Post resurfaced yesterday -- Breitbart News Network's executive chairman, Steve Bannon, suggested that there are too many asian CEOs in Silicon Valley. "He alluded to the idea that foreign students should return to their respective countries after attending school in the U.S., instead of sticking around and working at or starting tech companies," writes Ashley Carman via The Verge: Trump voiced concern over these students attending Ivy League schools and then going home: "We have to be careful of that, Steve. You know, we have to keep our talented people in this country," Trump said. When asked if he agreed, Bannon responded: "When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think [...]" he didn't finish his sentence. "A country is more than an economy. We're a civic society." While Bannon didn't explicitly say anything against immigrants, he seemed to hint at the idea of a white nationalist identity with the phrase "civic society." The Huffington Post makes note of a May 2015 study in its report, which "found that 27 percent of professionals working in Silicon Valley companies were Asian or Asian-American. They represented less than 19 percent of managers and under 14 percent of executives, according to the report."
Steve Bannon is a racist; this is pretty much proof. Why should I presume Trump isn't aware of this? Why shouldn't one presume that Trump appointed Bannon his Chief Strategist because Bannon's a racist?

I would ask you why saying something such as 75% of NFL owners are white therefore the NFL is racist is perfectly acceptable. Racism only works 1 way. If there are too many whites it is racist. If there are a preponderance of Asians or Blacks it is hiring the best person for the job.
This double standard is why the so called alt right is gaining popularity.
There is nothing a white man can ever do to not be considered a racist and an unfair recipient of white privilege. So fuck it. If wanting to enforce national borders is racist, I guess I am racist. The people I'm most racist against are white liberals who think they are evil because they are white and everyone else is noble and disadvantaged because they are not white.
Have Clinton and Obama come out and told these hooligans that are rioting to knock it off? Last I heard, there was nothing but silence from them, which seems to imply consent. That the media isn't demanding this out of them is just more evidence that the collusion between the current admin and the press demonstrated by wikileaks continues.
Has George Soros started one of his pathetic color revolutions in the US now? I hear he's picked purple for this year's fashion. In an honest government, he'd be arrested for sedition and terrorism. Goes to show you the morals of Obama and crew. Maybe the next administration will man up and arrest that treasonous piece of filth. Perhaps even extradite him to Russia.
I'll bite. MightyMartian, you are such a racist.
As is Russia and many former USSR members.
Yet "Asian" includes neither Russians nor Indians when you're talking to your typical racist liberal.
They don't even consider Hispanics white.
