FWIW (1) In general I find Margaret Qualley to be very attractive; and (2) to me, that dance routine was not attractive at all.
Same. I first saw her in Nice Guys around when it came out and thought she was gorgeous in that so I have watched a lot of what she has been in, and I have to say she is one of those Nepo Babies with real talent. That dance is one of the least attractive things I have seen her in. She was prettier in Maid where she was dressed all the way down as a poor single mother.

My evidence would mainly be that for almost all immigrant groups they have followed a pattern of starting off relatively separate and economically down and then in a generation or two melted into the pot culturally and their economic results either hit around the median or even a little higher.
Blacks, despite being here longer than most of these groups and 70 years of actively tilting the scales to give them a hand up remain more culturally distinct and economically downtrodden. This pattern does not match to any European or east asian groups, but does map pretty well to third world migration, especially in Europe, where 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th generation think of themselves as GROUP first and NATIONALITY second (if that), are culturally and economically separate from the main body. Again, patterns that hold pretty well for blacks in America.

Blacks remain meaningfully unassimilated after all these years, probably because of the many third world cultural and genetic traits they have. That does not bode well for the future. Assimilating whites and east asians is not proof that you can assimilate anyone.

I bought my first house in July 2008, so basically the top of the market before the housing bubble burst. Sold it 5 years later for basically the same amount, which considering the overall housing appreciation trends of the past 30 years is REALLY sad.
Cosign. It is a spiritual sequel to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which is the best buddy cop movie of the aughts. I have a hard time deciding which is better.
