Affiliate Marketing Secrets

The movies that Hollywood churns out are chock full of subtle stereotypes or racism. Has anyone else noticed this? And it’s not just race either, they even have sexist roles as well. I read somewhere that the reason they do this is to appeal to white males (which are still the majority in the US) and so, having minority characters (both racial and sexual) that deviate from what is acceptable from this demographic, will not sell tickets. How true do you think this is?

For instance, I live in the Pacific NW. If you go into a “smoke shop” to buy a pack of smokes, these shops are invariably owned by Koreans. Alternatively, when I was recently in the Palm Springs, CA area for a few weeks, I noticed the “smoke shops” were owned by Egyptians. I’m just using smoke shops as an example here, but as I get to know these Koreans in the smoke shops, they open up a little more. I have learned, in general, that these “smoke shops” make tremendous money. Now, why haven’t’ I seen an Average Joe Caucasian, or an Average Ned African-American, etc. go into the “smoke shop” business, if it’s so lucrative? (Which I -do- believe they are, spending my fair share of time in there.) Is their a “barrier of entry”, of some kind, that disallows other ethnic groups to gain a foothold in the “smoke shop” business? I consider myself a social scientist, but I never encountered the theories behind this phenomenon…whether it be Korean smokes shops, Vietnamese nail salons, or Indian owned hotel chains? (Plz don’t construe this as being racist or bigoted…I just am really curious!!!!) There has to be a term for this pattern, and a sociological theory. Thanks.

I’m going into my Senior year of high school and I’m seriously considering going to a community college next year. I have to pay for my education on my own, and my SAT scores were a slightly above average 1790. I have a 4.5 GPA, I’m very active in my community, I have minority status as a tribal-affiliated Native American, and I’m just enjoying life as a seventeen year old girl. I don’t really know what I want to do with my life, and a community college seems like a smart financial decision and an easy stepping stone to transfer into a 4-year.
But all of my friends are dead set on getting into 4-year Universities and State Colleges. I’m in the top 5 of my graduating class and part of me feels like I should be joining them. But I think I’ll save a lot more money in the long run if I play my cards right in the community college system. And it won’t be as stressful and ego-shattering if I get rejected from Harvard or UCLA or Colorado State University. Not to mention the money going down the drain with application processing fees.
Maybe I’m just afraid of rejection. Should I bother applying to a University right out of high school when I can get the same degree for a fraction of the cost after transferring from a community college? What are the benefits of going to a 4-year straight out of high school? A 2-year?
I know I can apply for grants and scholarships for 4-years, but is it worth my time if I can go to a community college and transfer somewhere else later? I guess that’s my main concern.

Mr. X has always been within the top 5% performance niche in academics and generally performs well to outstanding at jobs.
Mr. X is more an introvert than extrovert. He spends most of the time alone but can get very open once used to new acquaintances.
Mr. X is “aggressive”. Does not invite subversion sometimes real/sometimes perceived and tends to stand out against subversion. He doesn’t kiss behind.
Mr. X isn’t very successful with women. Even after letting guard down, girls are receptive at first then start ignoring X. X tries to bridge the gap then cuts himself from the lady if non-response endures. Basically, he treats her like a stranger.
People tend to fear Mr. X. His naturally stern face coupled with his few words cause most to “avoid” confronting X.
Mr. X-a minority in US-has difficulty securing jobs despite high competence levels and very positive interview feedback from interviewers-when it’s a bad one you know it and they don’t complement it.
Describe Mr. X in whatever trait categories u prefer. Thanks.
