TGP and Seymour Duncan suck suck equally, and are both run by and chock full of hypocrite, liberal douchebags. I hate Seymour Duncan most for their tolerance (or more like support) of anti-American sentiment, Marxism, and flamboyant liberalism. I enjoy the company in an international community (being an international man and speaking in two other languages myself), but I won't tolerate someone badmouthing my country; especially when the core of America is still the greatest country on Earth.
If I can recall correctly, TGP started out with some kind of Christian affiliation or something. I guess they abandoned Jesus when they started getting endorsements. Anyway, I don't know if they consider themselves conservative there, but they CERTAINLY act like intolerant, liberal pricks. If they consider themselves conservative, they should be ostracized from the conservative population because they certainly don't operate like us.

for what it's worth, checking "Asian/Pacific Islander" on college applications, for example, might make it harder than declaring as simply Caucasian. You can look into it yourself, but basically Asians at colleges are "over represented" relative to their numbers in the general population, so they tend to be held to higher admissions standards.
Trust me, for that and many other reasons, it does "pay to be white" in the US.
Sorry but you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Asians aren't over-represented. They've always been a small and slowly increasing minority in this country, and the main reason they are held to higher standards is because they don't rely on entitlements and hold themselves to a higher standard. On the other hand, if you technically want to discuss over-representation of minorities, then you need to consider the black population. Most people have no idea that the actual black population of the United States is only around 13-14%. Judging from everything on television, from advertisements to programming, the typical American or foreigner believes the black population of the U.S. is between 25% and 50%. If you don't believe that, then survey random Americans or foreigners on the street and ask them how much of the population they think is composed of black (of "African-American" to throw the politically correct term around).
White people are no longer a majority, and if anything, the most over-represented because most people believe that white people still outweigh everyone else. Our Hispanic population is nearly equal to the white population now. If you study government from the civil rights era until now, you will see that the government has put into place specific, expansive programs targeted at changing the physical make-up of the population. The aim of these programs is to reduce the white population and increase the black population. Asians, Native Americans, and Hispanics are not considered in these plans.
Take a look in any American classroom and interview any American student and see for yourself what part of American history they are most familiar with. These government integration programs are specifically aimed at any urban or suburban where there is a majority white population. This integration program is far more expansive and invasive than people are even aware of. Aside from the aforementioned, I'll present you with a couple of more stunning facts.
35% of the entire black population are employed by federal and state government. If black people are only 14% of the population, consider that ratio compared to any other race. Programs such as Obamacare and Obama's new proposal to provide *free* ("free" is a lie because it costs every taxpayer) are specifically aimed at increasing and empowering particularly the black population. Yes that may be a shocking comment to some of you, but when is the last time you or even most congressmen poured over Obamacare law pages? I've toiled through it more than most Americans and certainly more than Nancy Pelosi and can tell you that it's not hard to connect the dots.
The fact is that you should be more informed and not take things at face value because these are some of the truths facing us right now and if people were aware of and understood them, there would be outrage. Like I said, I'm presenting you with facts you can research your self. These programs, under the guise of "desegregation" (i.e. Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, etc...), are really "re-population" programs. If anyone is short-changed when it comes to government bias, it's Hispanic, Asian and Native American.
