Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • Hard to say but probably not. For instance I mention Hmong because they were political refugees from Laos in the 70s to various parts of the US as refugees, many of which didn’t move away after a generation. Only a few hundred thousand but they may make up a sizable amount of Asian in Minnesota and Wisconsin, not getting much say in where.

    If you move by choice, as many modern immigrants do, usually you end up where there’s work, like California (and H1Bs and colleges get a ton of well educated East and South Asians). It was enough to make Irvine blue, which was astonishing!

    And older generations? Probably on average close to where they originally landed (most people don’t move more than 50miles from home) but of anyone I’d see them most likely to move to like minded places, but work usually influences that more. Keep in mind, anything past 4th generation is pretty dang assimilated.


  • To be fair, it’s not a very well defined group. It’s heavily split by country of origin and economic status. Imagine differences between Indian men with traditional values, Hmong refugees settled in the midwest generations ago, 6th generation Chinese in Chinatown enclaves, or 1st generation Chinese recent grads from Beijing starting up in Tech, etc…

    Other racial groups also lose out on interesting distinctions (e.g. Cubans are super red) but tend to still be fairly homogeneous in political views historically.








  • I hadn’t even thought about it until you brought it up. Kind of disappointed in people jumping on this like flies on shit but like… it’s 2025, so bigger things to be upset about.

    In any case, apples and oranges. And PSA, if you need a Switch 2, grab em on the rebound. There’ll be used ones, likely hackable in 6 months and none of that goes to Nintendo. Don’t forget what their legal department has done in the past few years.
