...referred incorrectly to employment statistics at the lab. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders make up only 5.7% of the lab's scientific and technical personnel, and the proportion in management positions is 2%. In addition, we said a study showed that Asian Americans earn lower salaries than their Anglo counterparts. The study found there were no significant salary differences...

There is no doctrine of Australian exceptionalism. If this deprived us of the heights of American moral expectation, it spared us from the anguish of American...
