发帖数: 29846 | 1 CNN: Rachel Dolezal has a right to be black
As much as critics try to characterize Dolezal’s behavior as a fraudulent
choice, sociologists and psychologists know that decisions about racial and
ethnic identity are typically not merely expressive, strategic, or
apolitical, but are driven by social conditions.
Growing up in a family with black siblings exposed Dolezal to the reality of
discrimination and made her more sensitive to its effects. It probably
helped her understand the contrast between... 阅读全帖 |

If adult children, parents and siblings of U.S. citizens were barred from

dramatically. The slowdown would be even worse than these graphs show,
because some highly skilled employer-sponsored immigrants would refuse to

SUVs are good condidates to consider.
The government'crash testing creteria change is prefectly timed to promote

发帖数: 5754 | 44 Since the government agency runs the tests, I guess domestic cars enjoy a
home-field advantage.
The only domestic competitive offering in the minivan segments are GM
crossovers (Traverse & siblings). Their 2011 models are tested with 5 stars.
On the other hand, Odyssey is not tested, and Kia's 2011 minivan is not
even on the test schedule.
This will help some potential Kia / Toyota minivan buyers become GM
crossover owners -- and we all know the government has a stake in GM.

If you want a SUV seats more than 4, go for a domestic body-on-frame full

probably the safest against collisions. The downside is their reliability,
