    First, a warning about your source:

    It's "iffy."

    Then, from that iffy source there's this:

    German feminist Alice Schwarzer wrote a book about the Cologne incidents, Der Schock - die Silvesternacht von Köln (The shock - New Year's Eve of Cologne). In it, she characterized the perpetrators as "not any Muslims.

    Nah.

    Like most analogies, it breaks down quickly with extension.

    SCOTUS agrees with you, though.

    Discrimination in private business on any grounds should be as legal as it is in sex and friendship.

    This.

    I'm a retired IT guy, and at 71 years old, I started my geek career 52 years ago in this man's Navy repairing avionics.

    I have lived every stinking second of Microsoft starting with DOS back in 1978, Windows 1.0, Office products, and servers.

    I've associated with some piss-poor systems people before who would make a change, step out the door of the computer room, and if they heard a chorus of, "God Damn!!!!!" would revert and undo.

    That's my experience with Microsoft.

    They release prematurely and crowd-source QA.

    Me?

    I never released until well after the early adopters were fired.

    Guns have been used as hammers by way of grabbing the barrel for the purpose of driving nails or smashing windows.

    Also, some guns are in mint condition for purposes of display by collectors.

    Then, there's the obvious non-public endangerment of plinking, competition, and hunting.

    American students are ill-prepared and unmotivated to do well in our schools.

    In addition, the student loan sharks put Americans in the hole upon graduation.

    Foreign students have the drive and long-term vision that serve them well, and they are subsidized by their home country.

    I think America should work to attract the best minds, with an aggressive immigration retention program.

    Bannon doesn't support that.

    He would clearly let America sink to the bottom in an effort to maintain American purity.

    That kind of thinking is batshit crazy.

    I'm fully confident America has plenty of talent for Silicon Valley.

    There's the problem.

    Your "full confidence" is unfounded. TFS and TFA prove you wrong.

    What part of

    "When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia ..."

    Bannon is clearly stating that he would sacrifice common sense for racial purity.

    There's a reason the Pure Race is poorly represented in Silicon Valley.
