So, Asian clustering brings more Asians. As for how the clustering will affect the city, one only needs to look to the other suburban Chinatowns in So Cal to see the result. Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights, Diamond Bar, Walnut, City of Industry, Arcadia, Monterrey Park, San Marino, and San Gabriel are good places to find an answer. Obviously, when a racial tipping point is reached, whites and Hispanics move out, and the culture radically changes in those areas.

I am Caucasian and currently live in a suburban Chinatown in So Cal. This town is for all intents and purposes a Chinese territory on American soil. It is a self-serving Chinese community comprised of people who couldn't care less about diversity. The Chinese here snub their noses at the idea of the American melting pot -- many different people with one national identity. it's Chinese tribalism and Chinese thinking exported from one side of the world to the other. Why on earth would I want to live in such a place?

I can't blame the Chinese. After all, it is the U.S. government that gives tens of thousands of Chinese citizenship or permanent residency every year. No questions asked about their ill gotten gains from mainland China, all that crooked communist money. Also, it is the U.S. government that allows foreign nationals to own property and companies in America. The Chinese are just being Chinese; that's the way they are. Their socio-cultural isolationism obviously exports nicely. Like they say, you can take a Chinaman out of China but you can't take China out of a Chinaman. Just the other day I saw a Chinese guy snot rocketing onto the pavement in a parking lot. You know, Chinese people are made in China, so there's a quality control issue.

People who complain about capitalism in the United States of America are ignorant and don’t know what they’re talking about. It has been years since the U.S. has had anything recognizable as capitalism.

Capitalism does not exist where there is government intervention in business. Capitalism cannot exist where there is a Federal Reserve and an Internal Revenue Service. Such institutions have been the tools of tyrants throughout history.

Activities that have been labeled “capitalism” are typically those of government and business engaged in thousands of criminal and unconstitutional conspiracies to control and defraud the people.

This is not capitalism, and it certainly is not free-market, free-enterprise capitalism.

A Cal State Fullerton instructor has been suspended for allegedly striking a student during a rally against President Donald Trump’s policies and a counter-protest on campus.

Following an internal investigation, university officials said in a statement this week that "a campus employee struck a student, and that as a consequence, the speech of the student group was stopped."

University officials called the incident "profoundly troubling. ... Responding with violence to speech we disagree with cannot and will not be tolerated."

The instructor, Eric Canin, an anthropology lecturer in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, could not be reached for comment.

Pastor Wiley Drake #fundie ocregister.com

Cable channel MSNBC host Keith Olbermann gave [Wiley] Drake more exposure this week when he named Drake the "World's Worst Person." In video aired on the station on Monday, Olbermann cited Drake's admission that he prays for the death of President Barack Obama as his basis for the selection.

Drake said he has prayed for Obama's death, though "98 percent everything I pray about him is very positive."

However Drake also said he's directed to pray for ill against his enemies by Psalm 109, which asks for punishment for evildoers, and even considers such prayers a "duty."

"If anybody has a problem with the prayer we're praying, they need to take it up with the man who wrote it, because it's not me," Drake said.

After reading the Guest Column by Matthew Ramos ["Prop. 8 and young gays' apathy," Nov. 9], I am confused. What legal right are gay people being denied? I only voted against them changing the legal and traditional definition of the word "marriage." If they are being denied any other right, let me know, I may be on their side.
