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

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/steve-bannon-disgusted-asian-ceos-silicon-valley_us_582c5d19e4b0e39c1fa71e48

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

-snip-

“When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think...” Bannon said. “A country is more than an economy. We’re a civic society.”

Bannon’s “facts” were, in fact, well off. A May 2015 study found that 27 percent of professionals working in Silicon Valley companies were Asian or Asian-American. They represented less than 19 percent of managers and under 14 percent of executives, according to the report.

During the exchange on Asian migrants, Trump told Bannon that he wanted people to come into the country.

“You got to remember, we’re Breitbart,” Bannon replied. “We’re the know-nothing vulgarians. So we’ve always got to be to the right of you on this.”

Without a diversity of inputs being an element in the production the quality of the
goods or services of what goes out the door would eventually stagnate and decline.

went 75% for Clinton. Must be a connection there. The county's about a third Asian (depending on which box you want to stick people from India and the Middle East into), some recent immigrants, some whose families have been here since the Gold Rush, and all manner in between.
