[00:00:00] If the Constitution was written to [00:00:01] benefit only white people, why is it [00:00:02] that Asian-Americans are the richest [00:00:04] people by race in America right now? [00:00:05] >> Because the Constitution wasn't written [00:00:07] to make people rich. [00:00:08] >> Was the Constitution written in Korean? [00:00:10] >> The Constitution. [00:00:14] >> Yeah. Yet yet Korean-Americans and [00:00:16] Vietnamese are actually benefiting the [00:00:18] greatest from this American experiment. [00:00:19] Uh actually in California as a direct [00:00:22] result of Asian success there were laws [00:00:24] passed that stopped Asian-Americans or [00:00:27] Asians period Asian immigrants from [00:00:29] being able to become citizens or own [00:00:31] land. [00:00:32] >> Chinese Exclusion Act you don't recall. [00:00:35] So no structurally there have been so [00:00:38] you're proving my point precisely trying [00:00:41] to make a point. [00:00:41] >> I'm so your point is that we were racist [00:00:43] against Asian-Americans and now they're [00:00:45] the richest in America. So they went [00:00:46] through a vast time of inequities and [00:00:48] they rose above it and they're much [00:00:49] richer richer for income and wealth than [00:00:52] than white Americans. [00:00:53] >> No, that happens because Americans [00:00:54] realized that they up and they lost all [00:00:57] of the labor that was going to be [00:00:58] possible for people to work on farms in [00:01:01] California in order to exploit the land [00:01:05] that was in California. There was no way [00:01:07] for them to have people to work there. [00:01:09] And that's why they brought immigrants [00:01:11] back. That's why [00:01:13] >> so so what what social program was [00:01:15] designed [00:01:15] >> literally built on our BACKS [00:01:19] >> that again swearing and saying things [00:01:21] like that doesn't make your argument any [00:01:22] more valid okay but it helps me take out [00:01:24] a little bit of my anger [00:01:26] >> that's fair um so [00:01:27] >> valid for me but then then I focusing on [00:01:32] if it was rigged for a specific group of [00:01:34] people Asian-Americans are the richest [00:01:35] by race the second are Indian-Americans [00:01:37] people from India and the third would be [00:01:39] white Americans [00:01:40] >> I'm aware so how Why? Why is that? [00:01:43] >> How do you feel about phenology racial [00:01:45] inequality than on the other side? [00:01:46] >> So why? No, but explain to me why that [00:01:48] is. I could tell you why it is though. [00:01:49] >> Maybe the top one or 5% are the richest. [00:01:51] What about the global south? What about [00:01:53] the poverty? What about the lowest? [00:01:55] Okay, so let's talk about [00:01:56] >> the lowest 50%. What are [00:01:58] >> in America or globally? No, in America [00:02:00] and globally as well. What's their [00:02:03] racial background? [00:02:04] >> What's the racial demographic of that? [00:02:06] Mostly people of color, not white [00:02:08] people. But the Asian Asian-Americans [00:02:10] are at the top of the socioeconomic [00:02:11] ladder relatively. [00:02:12] >> A very small number. [00:02:13] >> No, in the aggregate. In the in the [00:02:15] aggregate, if you look at the the way [00:02:16] the way the data is compiled and [00:02:18] presented to us, they are the richest [00:02:21] per capita group by race in America. [00:02:23] Why? Because over the last 50 years, [00:02:24] Asian-Americans graduated from high [00:02:26] school in record numbers. They did not [00:02:28] commit crimes. [00:02:29] >> We're smarter than you. Sorry. [00:02:30] >> Oh, okay. [00:02:32] >> That's an unbel That's a racist argument [00:02:34] you just made. [00:02:35] I I I'm not going to get into eugenics, [00:02:37] but you just said you're smarter. I [00:02:39] don't think that I don't think any race [00:02:40] is smarter. [00:02:41] >> Other races that haven't done what [00:02:42] you're describing because So, so, okay, [00:02:45] let me So, the two the the two groups [00:02:48] that are poorest by race in America are [00:02:50] Native American Indians and [00:02:51] African-Americans. We've done the most [00:02:53] to try to help them over the last 50, 60 [00:02:55] years. We have the Bureau of Native [00:02:57] American Affairs in the federal [00:02:58] government. We spent $22 trillion in the [00:03:02] federal government trying to help black [00:03:04] America and black America is poorer [00:03:06] today than before we tried to start to [00:03:08] help them. $22 trillion recommendation [00:03:10] that just exists in the system. [00:03:12] >> Okay. So your argument institutional [00:03:13] racism my argument is failed policies [00:03:15] that Lyndon Baines Johnson a bitter and [00:03:17] committed racist. You and I will both [00:03:18] agree who didn't want to side in the [00:03:19] civil rights act passed the Great [00:03:21] Society. [00:03:22] >> LBJ was a racist because he was an old [00:03:23] white man. [00:03:24] >> Are all white people racist? I would say [00:03:27] I would say that that I think white [00:03:28] people have an implicit bias. You can [00:03:30] argue with me. I think white people have [00:03:32] >> Do you understand how how racist it is [00:03:33] to think that all white people are [00:03:35] racist? [00:03:36] >> We don't experience systematic racism. [00:03:39] >> We don't experience racism when we [00:03:42] >> power. Okay. So, let's talk about that. [00:03:44] So, then how did Asian-Americans climb [00:03:46] up the power structure? [00:03:47] >> That has no anyone explain that to me [00:03:50] cuz I can't. [00:03:51] >> I'll explain. All All Asian most [00:03:53] Asian-Americans here. Okay. You said [00:03:54] Native Americans, black Americans [00:03:56] >> are the two poorest by race. That's what [00:03:58] keeps them in common. Okay. They keep [00:04:00] they've been here for a while. [00:04:01] >> Okay. So, you know what keeps them in [00:04:02] common? [00:04:03] >> They also get the most government [00:04:05] benefits per capita than any other group [00:04:07] in America because the way government [00:04:09] programs are that's a symptom, not a [00:04:11] cause. [00:04:12] >> No, no, no. And you can you can go to [00:04:13] almost a direct day. Black America is [00:04:15] poorer today than before we started [00:04:17] helping black America. The welfare [00:04:19] programs [00:04:20] >> helping me by desegregating. I don't [00:04:21] think that's much help. [00:04:22] >> Um, okay. Okay, so how about this? The [00:04:24] black single motherhood rate in the year [00:04:25] 1964 was 22%. Now it's 74%. How on earth [00:04:29] does that happen? It happens cuz we [00:04:31] subsidize single motherhood through the [00:04:33] 70s, 80s, and 90s by saying if you get [00:04:35] married, you lose your government birth [00:04:37] control for lower income people. That's [00:04:39] why [00:04:40] >> then why is it only their community, the [00:04:41] black community, that saw a spike in the [00:04:43] single motherhood rate? [00:04:44] >> Because they don't have the same access [00:04:45] to it because they've been written out [00:04:47] of those. [00:04:48] >> But weren't Asian-Americans written out [00:04:50] of the laws in the 1940s and 50s? [00:04:51] BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BLACK. [00:04:53] >> OH, OKAY. SO, IT'S ONLY BLACK people [00:04:54] that experienced a tough 20th century. [00:04:57] >> No, I'm talking about black people that [00:04:58] were specifically written out of these [00:05:00] laws. [00:05:01] >> Asian-Americans were written out of laws [00:05:03] 1940s. We put Asian-Americans in [00:05:05] internment camps, by the way. So, what [00:05:06] did he call the Great Society Act? Since [00:05:08] you call him daddy, he called it the No, [00:05:10] he called it the N-word bill. He was a [00:05:12] bitter and committed racist. [00:05:13] >> I know he was a racist, but we still got [00:05:15] these things through. You mean the [00:05:17] things that kept black America [00:05:18] permanently poor and kept an entire part [00:05:20] of the American population without hope? [00:05:22] That's something you're proud of? [00:05:23] >> I'm not an African-American person, so I [00:05:25] can't speak on that behalf. [00:05:26] >> But you can look at data. What other [00:05:27] buzz? [00:05:28] >> I don't think you are either, so I don't [00:05:29] know if you can speak. But I mean like [00:05:30] like what what data do you have to [00:05:33] >> argue that?
