    Serious question: how can you call yourself a centrist if the things you say you want are extreme left of the center?

      Because I also have beliefs that are to the right of the center.

      For example, I think the left takes “reverse racism” way too far and it results in racist policies e.g. Asian kids having a hard time getting into college. Perhaps we should be looking at more intelligent metrics like the wealth of the family rather than solely looking at someone’s skin color.
