I found a twitter thread discussing how California will run its race classification system if #Prop16 passes and it part of it listed North African/Middle Eastern people under the category of "White/Caucasian" for whatever dumb reason. And i found two black females on the thread saying that the reason they did that is because White people will be a minority soon so in order to stay the majority they decided to boost up their numbers by including Middle Easterners/North African people as "White/Caucasian"
.....what? wtf.... i can't... How can people be this stupid to think this??
Given the current political climate in the state, nothing would make me happier than for everything below I-80 to say "fuck this, we're out" and split away from Chicago and the collar communities. Considering most of Chicago thinks that anything below that line doesn't exist it wouldn't be much of a change for them, anyway. Let Madigan the lich, fatboy Pritzker, and all their cronies try and survive on playing politics without 3/4ths of the state to leech off of.
