Oh, yeah, I see. Critical race theory only applies to blacks.
Stop haranguing us white peeps, go plant your BLM, Love is love signs and whatever else you libs do in your free time.

BLM supporters didn’t start this topic nor do I even see the topic until you brought it up. There is a lot talk of Asian superiority over Blacks and hispanics, even to the extent one of the posters believes the spots in AAP occupied by students belonging to these groups which are underrepresented in the program should be occupied by Asian students. After all, white and Asian kids are superior to Black and hispanic students.

White people are funny. Always putting themselves in the middle of problems they created and pretending to be the hero. Tell me, how many white people in history have moved to a non-white country where they didn't know the language and had very little money, were discriminated against and made fun of, and were able to build entire communities of successful families and improved the greater community around them through paying taxes and making schools better? I only hear white oppressors in places like Zimbabwe and South Africa, who didn't struggle, complaining when their privilege rightly gets taken from them. And this is coming soon to an American city near you if it hasn't started happening already.

There you have it. The Asians are even more superior to the white folks. How dare FCPS give spots in AAP to Blacks and hispanics, when there are Asian students could have been selected instead. Smh

stay in your lane, white knight. slowly losing your power and privilege makes you say and do crazy things, right?? this has everything to do with you pitting different ethnic groups against each other and nothing to do with you giving handouts to select minority groups - if you really cared about african americans or hispanic americans, you give up you seats in the ivory tower like some white police chiefs have done. or, at the very least, you would be out their virtue signaling with your blm mask protesting how their neighborhood schools are perennially underfunded and are failing their kids. you wouldn't know because you don't intermingle but i've been out there fighting that fight long before george floyd. i cringe when white admin and teachers, along with white parents, are the loudest voices on buzzwords like blm and equity--for years, i confronted these people about their privilege and what it was doing to the school and the students, and they looked at me like i was crazy - now they pretend that they weren't on the wrong side literally months ago.

african americans and hispanic americans can and do speak for themselves when they aren't lied to about an issue and feel it's important, even when it comes to education. they don't need you to deceive them and then tell them how to do things, especially when it's often not in their best interest. and this is coming from a non-hispanic minority family who went to a majority hispanic/urm elementary school where the white principal and white pta president(s) made it a habit of coercing immigrant families by highly suggesting that their kids should get diagnosed with adhd or some other disorder with a promise to help them their kida when they came back with a letter - apparently this is a tactic, according to one past pta president, for the school to qualify for more funding (not sure if it was state or federal) when they pass some threshold - but i can't imagine what this tag does on these kids whose life trajectory has forever been altered. how do i know this happened? they tried to the same with ours but we fought back. afterwards, we talked to many other parents and, with a sample size of approximately two to three dozen, the same tactic seems to have been used primarily on unsuspecting non-English-speaking parents and not on white parents.

no sane person is saying that asians are superior to anyone - but many people are saying that white people have created and perpetuated most, if not all, of the problems in this country since they've controlled the legislature, budgets, media, police, and educational policies for 100s of years in this country. the fact that white people can't even properly acknowledge and apologize for the genocides and other atrocities that occurred in this country -- and have never paid reparations with their own generational wealth, land, and privilege to the descendants of african american, native american, hispanic american, and asian american victims -- tells you all you need to know.

All in all, TJ's repudiation of merit-based criteria reminds me a lot of the holistic grading they seem to like to use in elementary schools these days. Which, in practice, tends to be used to give minority students lower grades than they've earned. Which then gets justified with platitudes like "grades don't really mean that much at this age," or "it's so that we can show improvement." I don't believe for a moment that the goal is in the long-term interest of URMs.

NP here. I would present an idea not often mentioned here. I would argue that Asians are discriminated against at TJ by giving them majority admission. Yes, that's what I said, being a majority at TJ is the real discrimination against them. Why? I say this as a parent of an Asian-American child who have to withstand the extra scrutiny and always being considered smarter than the rest. From the perspective of the kids this is a disadvantage. They didn't ask to be judged like this. They want to be treated like any other normal child of any other ethnicity. They wish to be treated like white or black kids who are free to pursue sports and leisure while doing well at academics at their own pace. There is no pressure on extra math or extra "intergalaticbioolympiad" challenge. No high schooler should be told they need to study for 12 hours a day to get all "A" grade in TJ. This is what many Asian parents tell their kids. I know many will deny this and attack me for saying this. But it is true, I know first hand. They are told they need to study the material over and over again in order to master it, so that they can get all A's. This is how they can then be at the top 25% of TJ, which is pretty much their only chance of "success", the rest are all struggling and they consider themselves "losers". Do we really want some of the brightest students to undergo this level of discrimination? Instead, they should belong in a more balanced student pool where they are not pitted against each other and then discriminated for not being the biggest nerd in the room. It is about time, TJ needed change for the better, and stop this discrimination against Asian students. The cry for discrimination is coming from Asian parents not their kids, who are the real victims here in the current setup. I feel the new setup will free Asian kids from discrimination somewhat by lowering the pressure cooker situation they had to face at this school, hopefully. Just a different perspective unheard of here.

so the real question is , why do Indian parents deny this?

This is what many Asian parents tell their kids. I know many will deny this and attack me for saying this. But it is true, I know first hand.

but the real question is, will it get out child into TJ?

What you are describing is not discrimination. You describe kids being overly pressured by their parents. And let’s be real, Asian kids don’t want to be treated like Black kids.

I was looking forward to the epic showdown between White Knight and Curry Man, but it looks like White Knight took his insult and is still standing while Curry Man ran off to the Brahmoderator deity for relief.

Netflix (NFLX) is facing a backlash in India over a now-infamous kissing scene in one of its shows.

The exchange takes place in the series, "A Suitable Boy," an adaptation of the award-winning novel by Indian author Vikram Seth, which was released on the streaming service last month.

The story follows the love life of a young Hindu woman and at one point, depicts her being kissed by a Muslim man at a Hindu temple.

You can’t make this racism up. It permeates Indian culture.

Is there some side conversation that I missed, or are we turning this forum into speculative fiction?

[Anonymous]

Fiction. I’ve been following the conversation and from what I’ve read, I don’t think Curryman is Indian nor is White Knight white. So I doubt the writers were even insulted and this person is instigating for nothing.

Someone responded to the "White Knight" post (18:23 above) with a barb directed at "Curry Man," but the later post got deleted before it could turn into a full-blown Marvel comic series.

Not at all - in fact you've proved my point. Asians recognize that we have people among us who are racist, and call it out loudly and over and over again. We, especially the younger generation, recognize it and look to root it out, which is why you see so many of us raising our voices against it. We are outraged by it, we write about it and talk about it and work on effecting actual change. But where is your outrage when there is racism against Asians?

You won't find it. It's all smoke and mirrors about 'equality for all'. It's equality for the chosen ones.

Supporting Asians fighting discrimination....... crickets.

What exactly do you want people to support? I've never seen an Asian-led protest movement outside schools or PTA conferences or just before education decisions are released.

You want support? Get out there and tell us where to show up.

This one thread is 64 pages of shaming Asians for speaking up about the discrimination they face.

It's been post after post telling Asians they are wrong, selfish, culturally inferior, unsocialized, cheaters, racist, justification of stereotypes and bias, get in the back of the line, that we don't support black people, etc.etc....

You think the only way to show support is if Asians start mass protesting on the streets? Are you that small-minded?

We see you. The REAL you.

67 pages and still going.....

71 pages! And almost 23,000 views!

85 pages almost 30,000 views and STILL GOING STRONG!!

Jeff, this website gets a lot traffic as a safe space for people to let out their racist, bias and stereotyping angst.
