       > About the study: Researchers analyzed five admission cycles
       from 2015 to 2021 and found that Asian American applicants were
       28% less likely to be admitted to highly selective institutions
       than white students with similar test scores, grade point
       averages and extracurricular activities.

       > “If you consider that Black and Hispanic students have a
       disadvantage in a world where affirmative action exists and
       don’t believe that Asian American students have those
       disadvantages … then Asian American and white students should be
       admitted at similar rates,” Grossman told Inside Higher Ed.
       “What we found is that is not the case.”

       I guarantee most of the Counterculture artists here:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/counterculture-era/recommended-music-to-listen-to/
       were not making that much even adjusted for inflation. So does
       the quality of Anthony's song compared to the quality of the
       songs over there really justify the greater quantity of money he
       is making from it? Or is it just OK for singers to be "white"?

       "So does the quality of Anthony's song compared to the quality
       of the songs over there really justify the greater quantity of
       money he is making from it?"
       Bland, repetitive, montonous melody -check
       Obnoxious, ranting lyrics -check
       Did I miss anything? Nothing but a typical subpar "White"
       country song.
       To be fair, what if we were to interpret the lyrics as not being
       the grievances of Anthony exclusively, but rather "poor" (i.e.
       "White) people (in the United States)? Are the grievances
       justified? The question can of course be answered by this map:

       So who is actually poor, Anthony?

       Also, from the video description:

       > When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was
       blown away to say the least.  He had a whole collection of songs
       that I could listen to for hours.  Oliver resides in Farmville,
       VA with his 3 dogs and a plot of land he plans on turning into a
       small farm ranch -RP to raise livestock.  We have a whole mess
       of songs set to release of Oliver for your viewing and listening
       pleasure, he is truly special and notes his biggest influence as
       Hank Williams Jr.  Oliver wants to give hope to the working
       class and your average hard working young man who may have lost
       hope in the grind of trying to get by.
