Also, I figure "We're going to take back Mosul" is the Obama administration's attempt at "Look, we're really doing something substantive*, we swear! Although Special Forces are not boots-on-the-ground, because that is unacceptable."

Some vodkas are distilled three times. Some are distilled 5 times. Kirkland Vodka is distilled 3/4 time. Why refine greatness?

AND as far as i know right wingers haven't been raping girls and selling them into slavery. or sending planes to kill fellow citizens or well you know..

Kurt got lucky that Gene Haas wanted him in the 41 because Tony Stewart sure didn't, especially after he got rid of Ryan Newman to bring Harvick over.
I do believe Kurt has burned every bridge in NASCAR now, and Stewart-Haas' statement from yesterday that Busch was suspended regardless of what NASCAR ruled on his suspension tells me that they will cut ties as soon as they negotiate a settlement.
Gene Haas would prefer to have Regan Smith run the rest of the season so that he doesn't have any headaches this year while he gets his F1 team ready for next season.

I'm still living in forlorn hope that someone will do I, Robot, The Rest of the Robots and Bicentennial man justice one day. Maybe the Complete Robot as a series, or even just Bicentennial Man, but Blomkamp is not that man.

75 "Kurt Busch- Suspended indefinitely by NASCAR"
He ever come of his story of her being a secret agent chick?
Posted by: Ricardo Kill at February 21, 2015 10:28 PM (as+cO)
Head on into the inside retaining wall after sliding through the grass. Estimated at about 100mph, and the inside retaining wall did not have the SAFER barriers.
Last I heard, Kurt was doubling down on her being a secret agent/assassin still. He must really like Coco Puffs.

NASCAR: Kurt Busch is disallowed from participating in any NASCAR activity. "Will set forth clear guidelines for his return."
I think the chick is probably lying since she's a proven liar and psycho. But she won. Judge ruled to allow her case to move forward, and Nascar brought the hammer down. Kurt is good and truly f*cked. Bye-bye multi-million dollar career. Bye-bye fame and fortune.
If you followed this, at all, this is the same chick who claimed she was a government assassin.
There's a rule about sticking it in crazy and Busch violated that rule. When he broke up with her and took away his money -- she freaked.
What exactly happened in his trailer, nobody knows. Classic he-said, she-said. She's lied about lots of other stuff and had no visible injuries even though she claimed he smashed her head into a mirror 3 times
Regardless, the judge believed her. Pretty much over now. No sponsor will have anything to do with him now, anyway. He is fooked.

Let me put it this way....during discussions on roles of deacons and such, the pastor told us that he can't honestly say that there is an absolute proscription against all drinking to be found in the Bible. What he can say is that there is one against drunkenness.
And that as Christians, we are to look to God for our direction. We are to give our lives to Him. Drinking to excess, being a drunk, gives that control to something/someone else.

It's a moot point now. Doesn't even matter if he wins the court case. Court case is still ongoing. Judge just ruled it can proceed and he won't dismiss it cause he thinks the odds are Busch did it.
So he can win the court case months from now and be found not-guilty. But it doesn't matter much. And Nascar specifically said that he's suspended indefinitely regardless of the outcome of the actual court case.
It's a sponsor driven sport and public opinion is what matters.
I'm sure Nascar is happy they got this done before the season starts. For them, it's not worth the headache.

And a regular martini is made with gin and vermouth. But the best martinis are made with a vermouth rinsed glass and gin or vodka.
Vermouth is just there as a hint of flavor, it's all about the booze.

Perfect sailor's drink, for when you've got the boat back on the dock, with all lines made and the ship secured for the night.
G&Ts, with a light bodied cigar, before dinner.
Then, the steaks, with beer or a good ale.
Afterwards, full bodied cigars, with Bourbon, or any number of Sherry's or Ports.
Even a poor boater lives a rich life, at times.

This road has two different branches to it, the "A.J. Almendinger" road and the "Jeremy Mayfield" road.
The AJ Almendinger road is this: get a positive drug test, NASCAR suspends you for it with the "path" back. You follow NASCAR's path by going through 30 days of rehab, agree to added drug testing, and prove yourself to NASCAR that you take responsibility for your actions. By doing that, you lose your ride, and all the other owners in the garage are a little apprehensive about hiring you when you have finished, but eventually, one of the field fillers hires you. You keep your nose clean for a year or two, the bigger name owners see that you mean it, and eventually you get a better ride, win races, and make the Chase for the Championship. Respect re-earned.
Then there is the Jeremy Mayfield route. Test positive for drugs, deny every using drugs. Sue NASCAR for their drug suspension, win that in Court to get reinstated, and right after reinstatement, fail your drug test. Come up with all kinds of theories as to why you were suspended, and deny ever using crystal meth. Later, have your farm raided by the local police who find trailers full of stolen goods and a bunch of crystal meth, which you swear you never used.
I believe Kurt Busch might be taking the Jeremy Mayfield route back.

Good for what purpose? Electrical work, PC boards, or soldering substantial sheet metal parts. Anything from about 40 to over 200 watts.
The time-tested Weller dual heat 100/140 watt soldering gun is ideal for quick general repairs, wire splices on cars/trailers, etc., but a little too hot for working on printed circuit boards.

By contrast, I corrected a $140M accounting error at one of my clients one time -- they had a bond sinking fund entry for $70M that they'd booked backwards....and, since bond sinking funds are somewhat imaginary tail-chasing exercises, nobody bothered to do a reality check.
But cash?!?!? You get regular bank statements with cash.

These days, printed circuit boards include fussy tiny SMD components that you need magnifiers and tweezers just to place accurately, much less reliably solder.

Anna, Cthuhlu, Old Blue,
I am getting a soldering iron for a friend who needs something with
accurate temperature controls for soldering on printed circuit boards.
It is something of a gift so I would like the iron and any basic
essentials to be $200 or less.
They are new to soldering, it is for an engineering project for an
EE student working on some sort of a communications project, and it is
their first foray into soldering.

Then you definitely want a soldering station. It will have a base with controls in it, and a receptacle to hold the hot iron (or pencil) when not actively in use. Might as well throw in a "third hand" clamping device, and a solder-sucker, too. The whole shebang should run under the $200 figure, unless you go top-drawer on the solder station. Oh, include a few spare tips, too.

Roger was the one that fired him when he got popped on the test, but Roger had just fired Kurt Busch for being a dick, so he needed to let his sponsors know that he had the shit under control. Losing a $15M+ sponsorship would make you get shit under control, but I think Roger would have preferred to not fire AJ.

Allmendinger popped for amphetamines. Said he took it while out with friends. Of course, that would also increase focus and help with race car driving, too.
Regardless of whether he was trying to cheat or get high -- sponsors can forgive that.
And the Allmendinger route requires Busch to admit he did it it -- whether he did it or not.
Unless the chick breaks down in court and confesses she made the whole thing up, I doubt Kurt ever drives for Nascar again. Even if he wins the case. Even if he then goes through some wife-beater Road to Recovery Nascar sets up.

Bolton at State or Defense.
Palin at Interior.
Romney at Treasury or Commerce.
Inhofe at EPA, because he'd shut the entire place down and retire the next day.
Walker at Labor (if he's not on the ticket)
And just for the fun of it: Santorum at HHS (although Carson would do well there) and Christie at DoJ (with strict instructions). DHS: R. Lee Ermey.

Soldering stations are intended for use with circuit boards. Not, as mentioned for surface-mount devices, but I doubt a student engineer would be doing much work with them. If so, then likely their instructor will recommend what needs to be had. But a solder station is just fine for a hobbyist/student, small repair shop environment.

And a good set of fine woodworking tools, such as a table-type scrollsaw, belt sander, shaper and precision drill press. Sometimes, ya gotta fashion that circuit board into some pretty weird shapes. Plus, it's always nice to be able to make a gorgeous, figured-wood faceplate to dress some sweet control box you just made.
Regardless of the actual trade in question, I believe that the title "Engineer", should obligate it's holder to have mastered several of the related disciplines. For an EE, basic sheetmetal and woodworking are perhaps, the two most essential, behind the Electrical/Electronics study, itself.
But then, I'm an old fashioned bastard, who learned a lot of my skills from working with dirty-handed Engineers of all stripes. Never knew one that wasn't a bona-fide genius, either.

one more question, y'sll are of the opinion the Weller is not too hot or too much wattage for the printed circuit boards?
Posted by: yankeefifth at February 22, 2015 12:04 AM (gsfK5)
There are printed circuit boards and printed circuit boards, and there are techniques for use on them.
Basic PC boards use discrete components and through-hole parts. In production, these are "wave-soldered" where they are actually dipped in a puddle of molten solder that is sloshed back-and-forth so that there is a constant wave that is higher than the edges. The Weller would do fine with these.
More modern PC boards use discrete surface-mount parts -- the boards are wiped through a screen to make pads of solder paste, then components are physically stuck between pads -- then the boards are run through a device that is extremely similar to a Round Table Pizza oven and the solder paste is melted, attaching the parts. The Weller should do fine with this.
When you get into stuff like cell-phones, you have chips with 40 connectors being attached to PC boards in a space 1.2 cm x 1.2 cm. This is a bitch-and-a-half to deal with and starts getting pricey in the specialized equipment area....nevertheless, I have seen some very tricky stuff done with.....a basic Weller iron. Not a good idea for the first trip to the rodeo, however.

Soldering irons and surface-mount components.

showed elevated white blood cells. They put her on antibiotics, but the
pain didn't go away. Yesterday she had a CAT scan, they found a
gallstone (source of the pain most likely), a tiny spot on her lung that
they aren't worried about, and a very small lesion or cyst on her
pancreas.

I'd like to see him as Secretary of Education. There was a tv movie about him starring Cuba Gooding Jr. Great story of overcoming a background of poverty through education. His mother was illiterate and had married at 13 years old. She pushed her kids to get educated. Ben became a pediatric neurosurgeon, and his brother became an engineer.
I think that if we're going to be stuck with a department of education, I'd at least like someone like Carson running it, instead of professional educators who have no real commitment to reform.

He is currently stumping the country for a Constitutional Convention for a balanced budget.
He won re-election with 64% of the vote in the purplest of purple states, winning 86 of 88 counties. He WOULD win if nominated. And a Republican congress can keep a rein on him. He would not go the Obama route of rule by fiat.

That is a surface-mount device. I think you "could" use a soldering station to mount it to a board, but that's not what production shops do. Now she is going to need a soldering station if she has to build a power supply, or use discrete components for the circuits feeding it. Soldering stations are not obsolete; they are still state of the art for for the sort of work for which they were designed. Surface-mount devices are a whole order of different.

The page that is relevant is page 19, and the relevant dimensions are B and e. B says that the leads are between .2 and .31 mm across, and e says they are spaced .635 mm center-to-center. This is a very challenging soldering task -- and, in fact, would ordinarily be done in an oven, and not with an iron.
I might point out that @569 gives one hint at how one might homebrew this.
I should also point out that I was working with laser diodes at about 600 MHz back in the 90s and we socketed them because they were so flaky -- so it's entirely possible that this particular chip could be the only fine-pitch SMT on the board.

In 1979 it would have been possible to say that, "NO Republican ticket has won in 50 years without a Nixon on the team, we are doomed to wander in the darkness because we have thrown our prince and saviour back to San Clemente to rot in our adherence to the law.

Just stating a depressing fact.
Also, The GOP tends to nominate the previous contested primaries' runner-up in recent decades.
2012: Romney was 2008 runner-up
2008: McCain was 2000 runner-up
1996: Dole was 1988 runner-up
1988: Bush was 1980 runner-up
1980: Reagan was 1976 runner-up
Bush 43 was the exception, but it could be argued that he was an extension of Bush 43.
Not a hard and fast rule, but interesting nonetheless.

Monday brought about 10" of snow, not an amount that people who get lots think is problematic, but for a place that snowfalls end up around 4-6", we have a hard time removing it. Well, add in that temperatures dropped down to negative numbers right after the storm and made the use of chemicals on streets a moot point, and you have neighborhood streets that were icy and very slick.
Now? There is a uproar from people in the city blaming city council and the government for fucking it up. All 7 members of the council are Dems, and there is not one GOP elected official in the city, and now these groups are all pissed off at the same politicians that these people said we just had to re-elect last year.
Me? I'm laughing my ass off at these people because they will keep re-electing Dems no matter what happens.

(Channeling the Doublemint Twins) "Two, yes, two inefficiencies for the price of one!"
If you have a car, and a tank of natural gas to fuel it, why not simply burn the gas in an IC engine, which we already know how to do very cleanly and efficiently, rather than feed the gas into a fuel cell, where it yields part of its energy to charge a storage battery, which then yields part of that stored energy to run an electric motor?
Natural gas to drive wheels: one big energy conversion step from stored chemical energy to wheels-go-round energy.
Natural gas to fuel cell, then fuel cell to motor, two energy-conversion steps, three, if a storage battery enters the picture. And none of the components are cheap. And fuel cells, to date, work best on pure hydrogen. Fuel cells that can efficiently process methane are still "next year country".

The first of which was part of the original Bill of Rights (the other eleven were incorporated via the 1st-10th Amendment, and the 27th Amendment). It would set Congressional apportionment such that we'd have well over 6000 Congressmen. Not a good idea.
The second is the "lost 13th Amendment" which would automatically strip citizenship from any citizen who accepted a title of nobility. Some crazies declare that it was actually ratified and that it would mean all lawyers are stripped of citizenship. Aside from that silliness, it'd not have too much of an effect.
The third is the "Corwan" amendment that would bar Congress from any Constitutional Amendment that would "authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State". It was meant to preserve the Union by protecting slavery. Since slavery has been outlawed by the 13th amendment, this amendment now stripped of its slave-related effects would not necessarily be a bad one.
The forth one is the worst amendment passed by Congress. The provision that would empower Congress to ban or regulate child labor is the the bad part. The bad part is the poorly written section that would have given Congress Constitutional authority to overturn state Legislatures in anything and everything.

When I see shit like this, I get real nervous about the push to get the states to call for what will in essence be a Constitutional Convention.
I know that it will take 3/4's of the legislatures to pass the amendments, but I get a sinking suspicion that somehow the process will get hijacked, and they will do what happened with the Articles of Confederation.
Now, the Articles of Confederation were pretty bad, but to amend it would have required all the states to approve. The Constitution that came about from a desire to amend the AofC required that only 9 of 13 ratify it. My fear is that they will come up with some shit like that and pass it.
I do not trust any politician.

If a law is found to be unconstitutional, every legislator who voted for it should be immediately removed from office and be banned for life from (a) any Federal office, (b) any Federal employment, (c) any lobbying, and (d) setting foot within 250 miles of Washington, D.C. Similarly, any executive who signed it into law -- same dealio; and any personnel within regulatory agencies who effectuated it, ditto.
Mind you, this reflects my personal opinion that having 100 million people in this "forever banned" category would not be a bad thing for the Republic.....

Article V says that the state's may petition Congress for a convention. It does not say that such petitions may include specifics and that those specifics are binding.
Once forced to call a Convention, it is Congress that shall call it. As the body that calls it, any particulars before the convening of the conventions would be up to the body that calls it... i.e. Congress.
Once the convention is called it becomes it's own beast. Said convention can choose to sit or not sit whomever they want. So, provisions passed by states that restrict delegates to voting on only a given proposed amendment lest they be replaced will be moot. The convention can ignore any new delegates sent by states and sit whomever they want. It is the convention, not the states, that can proposed whatever they want. States have no power to limit this.
Further, any such convention can specify that amendments be ratified by conventions within each state, and not the state itself. Once a state legislature as petitioned Congress for a constitutional convention, their role is done.
Such amendments can by anything. They can eliminate the entire Constitution and replace it with something like the South Africa Constitution, the proposed "Constitution for the Federation of Earth" or whatever else they want.
For this reason, it would give the Left the chance to gain total and perpetual victory. They would do everything to gain control of the convention, and then everything to gain control of state ratifying conventions. ANYTHING. It doesn't matter if it is illegal or not, once they have power everything else will be irrelevant.
Look what they did to re-elect Obama. Now image those forces LITERALLY expending every last iota of power, influence, and money for this one chance to forever have it all.
At this point, a Constitutional Convention (or mis-named "Convention of the State) would have no other effect than giving the hard-core Leftist Progressive psychos absolute power.

I was working my first job in Hollywood as a production assistant on a 3rd rate sci-fi (or, for you kids in the audience, sf) movie in a patch of rocky desert outside LA called Vasquez Rocks. (The same site where Kirk rassels with the Gorn.)
This is before cell phones, so the crew communicated with walkie-talkies. Usually, a hand-held walkie-talkie only had 2 bands -- if one was busy, you used the other. We were on one band and another production company was shooting nearby using the other.
When my buddy and I heard that Rod Taylor was at the location, we spoke up on their band. "We got a call from production ... they need to speak to Rod, right away."
The next 5 minutes was a hectic back and forth between voices from the other shoot, passing the word that the studio was asking for Rod and frantic search for him. He was probably located in his Winnebago laying naked under the air conditioner, as that was the only relief to be found in the 100+ heat of the Mojave that time of year.
Eventually, a breathless voice came over the airwaves, sounding like someone who had just run across the desert in 100+ heat responding to an urgent message. "This is Rod -- go ahead."
We waited, then pressed the talk button. "Hi, Rod. We loved you in The Time Machine."
Another pause, then his voice snarled back -- "Who is this?"
Followed by several minutes of consternation and oath-thowing by everyone involved, except us. It seemed they mistook us for jokers on their own shoot, and swore to hand me my pay envelope and fire my ass.
But the joke was on them, because, even if they found me out, I was desperate enough to take my first job in Hollywood without pay.

I started with "Hannie Caulder" early - the old Raquel Welch classic. First time I ever watched it in its entirety.
Work & daily life interfered, but I caught a few minutes of some good movies - Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, for instance.
Outlaw Josey Wales is on now. Always was one of my favorites.

As a disinterested bystander, I can understand the point he was trying to make, not that I think there is any significance to it. For the Democrats in the same period (1928-2012), you need six names to have at least one spot covered for all of the winning election teams. Roosevelt, Truman, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Obama. The last three names could just as easily be Mondale, Gore and Biden, however.

Wrong.
Article V convention is ONLY to consider Amendments. It is explicitly NOT able to "run away" or become a Constitutional Convention. Read up more. You're repeating the scare tactics of the DC establishment and not the actual meaning of the text. Read The Liberty Amendments by Levin.
Posted by: Inspector Cussword at February 22, 2015 01:50 AM (scgac)
I'm afraid that you and Levin are WRONG.
VERY, VERY wrong.
Article V explicitly states that Constitutional Amendment are proposed not by the states, but by the convention called by Congress.
The states can not propose amendments. Period. No exception. There is absolutely NO provision in the Constitution that gives the states the power to propose Amendments in any legally binding way.
Levin is an idiot.
Yes, let me repeat that Levin is an absolute idiot.
If he got his way and Congress was forced to call a convention, the chances of the Left not taking control by utilizing everything at their disposal are approximately zero.
If Levin got his way, I'd be first in line to shank his nails-on-chalk blowhard ass in the gulags of our new socialist "utopia".

But, from where I stand, no one gives much of a fcuk about whatever the Constitution says, or what any given federal judge says.
They just go ahead and do it.
Why? Because we let them do it.
And they don't care what the law says.
If you want specific examples I could be here all night. But, for starters, this "executive amnesty" bill (which, BTW, has anyone seen it? is there a copy we can peruse? I didn't think so) is completely outside of the law, and our betters in Congress are content to nibble around the edges of it rather than reject it as lawless. Why? Because Impeachment is not an option. Why is that? Because screw you, shut up already.
What a disaster.

Yes. By conventions in those states if so declared (Congress used this requirement for the 21st Amendment to bypass state Legislatures).
With absolute control on the line, is there any doubt that the Left would do anything, and I do mean anyting to get their utopia ratified?
Throw in "rights" to a clean environment, eduction, good housing, &c., and opponents to a complete Progressive overhaul to the Constitution will be bashed as monster.
Remember, all it takes is one single coordinated attack by Leftist propagandists to have an effect for one day to gain absolute and total power forever.

First of all, here is the text of Article V:
"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate."
It is very explicit in who has the power to propose Amendments to the Constitution: Congress or a convention called by Congress. Do note that Article V does not allow for the states to propose jack s**t.
The states can not propose an amendment, no more or no less than anyone else, be they citizen or foreign despot.
All the states can do is petition Congress for a convention. There is nothing that limits such conventions to what states propose in their petitions to Congress.
Once 2/3 of states have issued a petition to Congress for a convention, it is the Congress which calls the convention.
There is nothing in Article V that suggests that the states can, by their petition, limit Congress or the convention called by Congress in any way, shape, or form. If there is any ambiguity as to the call for a convention, it would be by the body that calls for the convention, i.e. Congress.
Once convened, the convention would be it's own Constitutional entity. As such, there is nothing in Article V that suggests in any way, shape, or form, that the states may impose rules or limits upon said convention. There are no Constitutional powers given to the state to limit said convention, in which delegates they sit or not.
Since the convention, not the states, is the body that proposed amendments, any and all instructions by the states regarding amendments are at best non-binding.
As for ratification, it is exclusively up to Congress to decide how the amendments are ratified, because the plain text of Article V says so.
So, with a convention that can propose anything (aside from denying equal representation of the states in something called the "Senate"). What limits are there to a Progressive vanguard from proposing replacement of the Constitution with something akin to the South African constitution, the proposed "Constitution for the Federation of Earth" or anything else???
With complete power at hand, do you really think that you can gain a majority in a state ratification convention in 13 states who would oppose "education of poor children" being a right and power of government?
To whit: Nothing in Article V gives the states the power to limit a convention, to determine the membership of said convention, or what changes to the Constitution said convention may determine.
Nothing in Article V gives the states the power to limit in any way, shape, or form, the details of the Convention called by Congress.
Nothing in Article V gives the states an innate right to block any amendments via their legislature.
Even if Levin is technically correct, he can not deny that the Constitutional Convention of centuries ago explicitly violated the law of the land (i.e. the Articles of Confederation which, unlike the current Constitution, has explicit limits on what any changed to alterations in the Confederation, rather than an outright replacement thereof).
If the Founding Fathers could violate the law of the land, why think that the current Progressive tyrants would hold themselves to a higher standard?

Yes. It froze on Monday, and while it was cold here all week, I let it drip at night and managed to keep it from freezing again. It's hard to make it drip just right. Ideally, I'd like it to drip about every five seconds or so, but it either wants to drip too fast or not at all.
Anyway, it warmed up today so freezing is not a concern at the moment. It snowed last evening and changed over to rain during the night. I don't know whether I will have to deal with ice or slush in the morning.

Anyway, in my experience, 9 times out of ten, a hot water pipe will freeze before a cold after pipe.
Any time I've had to fix a burst pipe (here at home, helping neighbors, at a customer's house), it was on the hot side.
I remember reading years ago that it had something to do with the way the molecules are lined up... then I read about the Mpemba effect today. Who knows?
I know that I had to patch two spots behind my neighbors furnace tonight, and it wasn't fun, but in the end, the kids could take a bath.
Anyway, insulate the pipes in the crawlspace. Leave the cabinet doors open on really cold nights. And let the faucet drip on super cold nights.
sounds like you have it covered. ..

I don't know about all that, but in my case I think the explanation is pretty simple: In the crawlspace, the hot water pipe is in front of a vent on the exterior wall, so it's exposed to the outside air. The cold water pipe is on the other side of a joist that runs between them, and is not in front of the vent.

I've always used a mouse with my left hand, just like my mother did.
The controls are the same with a right handed mouse.
For the generic mouse, there is little difference, but the higher ended mouses tend to me fit for a right hander. They are nice, but alien to someone who learned to use a mouse left-handed.
So, a lot of the chiral stuff looks spiffy, but it's a problem finding it chiraly for a left-hander.

Multiculturalism. Let's not let them keep getting away with this.
Let's call it what it really is: Grassroots Apartheid.
At this point, I'm sure some of the more moderate, or sober members of this board are going "Cato, you've lost me there", so let me explain.
The whole multicultural ideology is built on the reinforcement of racial stereotypes. All of Central & South America + The Caribbean becomes Mexico. All of Africa becomes Thug Life 4 Reals Yo, all of Asia becomes the dorky exchange student wearing glasses, etc. Oh, and the white guy is, of course, the Evil Oppressor!
It pretends at being a mile wide, and is a molecule deep. It does this to create self-policing identity cliques that punish people for deviating from the norm, like how the Democrats always go after black Republicans for being "race-traitors" or "Uncle Toms".
It's not really diverse at all, and it's designed to drive people apart.
