The US census classifies that 61.5% of the US population is of white ethnicity in 2020, or 38.4% "other". With a population of 331,449,281, that gives 127,276,523. Which gives you some idea of where the 100 million came from and thus the real aim here.

I'm suddenly reminded of this quote:

“Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.”

-- Douglas Adams in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Good news everyone! Lifetimes will automatically be adjusted to ensure these events will remain "once in a lifetime".

Wait, that's not good news at all

He has a clear financial interest due the Tesla factories in China and the amount of cars sold there.

Yes, it's pseudoephedrine that you want. Somewhat ironic that Sudafed got its brandname from it, but you can't easily get the original version anymore.

Edited: corrected for availibility of the Sudafed - thanks Blue and Cubby.

Karl Popper entered the chat.

Less well known [than other paradoxes] is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.
