Profoundly stupid article. If affirmative action "forces firms to hire less competent workers", how could one Cambodian guy who benefited from an affirmative action policy also be partially responsible for the "dominance" of Cambodian ownership in the SoCal doughnut business?

Are you seriously going to think the nepotism involved in staffing and franchising Midwestern Dunkin' Donuts is not even more beneficial to the lower intellect/conceived through fertility treatment Choate Rosemary alums who are receiving DNKN dividends? You seriously don't think Indians seeing an insanely predatory franchising opportunity as an opportunity has anything to do with an access to communal financial support? Maybe they don't need to go through an insanely predatory loan to finance their franchise!

You should be angry at the people inheriting large sums of money who are essentially doing nothing with their lives, not the communities who are being maligned in this article for allegedly cornering or forming a cartel over a doughnut market.

There seems to be only a single central crux to the article; it could have been much shorter.

It claims that innovation within an ethnic niche is significantly smaller than innovation in a mixed society. I saw little or no evidence related to that claim.

It also conflates immigration with the establishment of so-called ethnic niches without justification, and fails to explain why a significant fraction of CEOs being white men is not a similarly problematic ethnic niche.

Poorly concealed racism through and through.

This is honestly a pretty skillful try at extremist propaganda. Long form vaguely neutral text with a vaguely plausible message. Gets your guard down, draws you in. Explicit right-wing politics in footnotes. And links (with the implication that they are links to authoritative references!) to unabashedly and proudly bigoted bullshit hosted on other domains.

Wonder how many people fall for it.
