The offsprings of Nigerian doctors that Harvard admitted were NOT descendants of enslaved people. And they grew up in a much wealthier environment than a lot of the Indian immigrants. Just admit you're buying votes with affirmative action, not really trying to help the poor blacks. It's not that hard to see. |
Vast majority of american ancestors were undesirables. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" |
Proof that acing a SAT test doesn't make you a well adjusted and cultured person. I don't know if you've noticed but there's a federal holiday here for MLK not Ghandi whom a growing a number of Indians can't even stand anymore. |
Great. If race is not being considered then the biggest losers in admissions will be URM and whites who are not academically equal or better than Asians. I am not bothered by their plight.
And if this is all smoke and mirrors and rich kids(legacy) will get in anyways and Asian Americans will continue to be penalized for academic excellence...well, then what's new? We are used to this shitshow. We are still finding ways to do well in this country. The more we are oppressed the more we use our brains and rise on the top. The URMs are not our friends, but neither are the Whites. So there. It is not as if Asians will stop studying and working hard because of what the supreme court of America says. we are well aware how these justices came to be selected. This was also not merit. we don't get easily fooled because we depend on our own abilities. LOL. |
Where are you when they insulted Asians as bots and test takers? |
If indians can rise to the top in a matter of a single generation, you can't say it's the same color of the skin that's holding back blacks. Indians are family centered people who value education for their children. These are some of the reasons of their success. I am willing to bet that PP, having risen to the top of his or her field, will choose a lily-white neighborhood to the slums of the ghetto where s/he and their children can mingle with the diversity people. PP doesn't believe in the no sense s/he is posting. |
+1 Again, to not know the US history is shameful. |
Not PP, but whenever someone said "cultured", I laughed hard at them as this is a sign of being weak and lack of confidence of themselves. Your inability to crack the watered-down SAT does show. |
+1 |
My guess is this is person who is trying to stir up anti-Asian sentiment by posing as the most stereotypical version of Asian they can possibly imagine. I'm so sick of this on anonymous forums. I hope nobody falls for all this crap. |
Affirmative Action is not and never has been about poverty or class. It was a remedy for the fact that in this country black people, all black people no matter where they were born or when they arrived or how much money they have, are discriminated against because of the color of their skin, limiting opportunity, freedom, access to colleges and board rooms, and creating a deficit of role models for black youth in industry and professions. Affirmative Action is a remedy for discrimination, not poverty. |
Hey, are you the village idiot or just a product of the American anti-meritocracy education system? There is no one named Ghandi that Indians know of. There is a restaurant called Handi in NoVa, though. I think you should try their food. Eating some turmeric may help your brain fog though it cannot cure congenital idiocy. |
At least you admit that I what I said is true. |
True. Not intended to offend anyone here but why, prior to, I don’t know, 1980s? was our education system ‘better’? That’s why immigration increased during this time, because our education system was supposed to be excellent. Not so much now, and I honestly see changes that have led to this. I think it’s challenging at best to effectively educate such a diverse population. There are so many conflicting social norms and etiquette now. I think without the massive immigration during the 70-80s we’d be globally competitive still. |
