Steve Bannon Suggests There Are Too Many Asian CEOs In Silicon Valley

[blueseas]

Steve Bannon, the man President-elect Donald Trump has chosen to be his chief strategist, expressed dismay at the number of tech execs who are immigrants from Asia.

But Trump, who has pledged to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico to keep people out, has said he wants immigrants educated at Ivy League universities and therefore capable of success to stay.

Bannon is the executive chairman of Breitbart News, a site that regularly airs white nationalist viewpoints. He and his beliefs have come under scrutiny since America’s next president appointed him to the senior leadership role in the incoming administration on Sunday.

Trump was a guest on his Sirius XM “Breitbart News Daily” radio show when Bannon made the remarks on Nov. 5, 2015.

“People are coming in and they’re taking jobs and people are getting paid less money,” Trump said during the broadcast. “A lot of it has to do with borders.”

1. We should have seen this coming.

Bannon is a white supremacist. If a leadership job doesn't have a white male at the helm, then something's very very wrong.

2. Absolutely! And I agree...

3. I agree as well

I feel like they will go after every group, one by one.

4. What is the racial and sex make up at Breitbart?

I wonder how many EEOC complaints have been filed by employees there under Bannon's watch?

5. Ugh

I bet there are a lot of Asian-American voters who thought they'd be "safe" in Trump's America, cos we're a demographic that frequently gets overlooked. No one is safe.

6. So now we will see out of work white laborers in lines in front of Home Depot?

He think that's what's going to happen?
