My white son of average abilities from a lower middle class family has little chance to go to a good college and have a good career because he is between a rock and a hard place. Unless he suddenly becomes outstanding in one area or another, of course.
He goes to a majority minority school, so I hope he will blend in otherwise


My white child goes to a predominately upper middle class school with heavy Asian demographics. I love the fact that the academics are rigorous because that is what the parents demand. I take him to additional math tutoring 3 dayd a week, not because he struggles, but to get him ahead., just like his peers with tiger moms.i walk into his math center and there are usually 3 whites (mainly male children) and the rest all Asian. Original Americans (blacks and whites) are chosing not to get with the program and step it up and try to compete with the highest common denominator. You can be a minority and still be successful, you just have to work at it and have parents who value education. I see it with thr Asian parents, our schools are good because thr parents put the pressure on and demand excellence.


This dies out over generations in America. Offspring get lazier.

Why would i be worried? I just hope the minorities that are lagging in terms of education (mostly blacks and some hispanics) get it together in terms of valuing education. A large ignorant population is not good for the whole. However, i see economic domination and power being consolidated with the Asians, while the historically lagging minorities will cintunue to be left behind. They value education and are dominating the highly skilled jobs. They don't whine and complain, don't play victim and just get it done, make money, take care of their families. That's the future if America if it's is going to have one.

Oh so black and hispanic people don't value education? We are ignorant? Good to know. Maybe you need to look at a large portion of the geniuses who voted for Donald Trump.

DP, but you're living in liberal ideology land if you won't admit that there are cultural differences regarding how much emphasis is placed on education. Jews and Asians are a prime example. While their peers are outside practicing for Friday night's HS football game, the Jews and Asians are at their computers, studying. Hugh generalization, I know, but definitely tends that way.

It doesn't take a PhD in statistics to figure out that Asians and Jews kick ass in academics. They would even do better if you took away the extra points that black and Hispanic students get in the college admissions process.

Why is stating the truth "doubling down on dumb"? Asians and Jews definitely place a higher value on higher education than other populations. Don't tell me you can't acknowledge that!

It's absolutely factual. I worked in an area of higher-education admissions, and we knew that the percent of blacks would drop to around 2% or 3% if standards were applied equally. Jews and Asians, and white males in general, lose out in favor of "diversity."

So for example, I think it's dangerous to let Christian bosses/organizations decide what is in health insurance today because what might my Jehovah's Witness boss decide in 40 years?
I don't think the govt should be allowed to dictate women's clothing (i.e., outlaw the head scarf) today because what if in 40 years they outlaw bikinis?
I don't think people should be allowed to refuse service to LGBT today because what if they ostracize, I don't know, menstruating women in 40 years (see India).

And so on. I want a secular society that is run on laws, not myths and claims extrapolated or cherry picked from a Bible or Torah or Koran or whatever. I think that is the best protection for my children, minorities or not, in the future.


Well put. I agree.


There are millions of w americans who do not want this.


Yes, and that's a problem. People need to think about how undermining minority rights today could undermine your or my rights (or those of our descendants) in 30 years.

So... people adjust. Does it worry me? No. People are resilient


Thats a great attitude and I admire it.

I work with youth for a living. Mainly black and brown kids, which includes dark skinned asians. This summer, the age group is 3-8th grade. I can tell you I have never seen them so motivated to do well. Its inspiring. But scary. They are also chomping at the bit. Politically. I'm not sure what that looks like in 30 years.


FWIW, I also think we are seeing a bit of a push back from white kids, who I think are more aware of these things than anyone else. That's probably why Trump was really popular with the generation below millennials. I think many white people are kind of waking up and, not unfairly, wanting to make sure their culture doesn't get eradicated. I think that's just smart. Whatever culture you're from, it makes sense to want to advance/preserve it.


Huh, so Trump is "massively" popular with kids 0 to 16 years old? I'm pretty sure no one has actually polled them. If you're seeing kids who are generally for or against Trump, they are mostly parroting their parents' talking points.

"Asian" is not a continent - it is a race. (Like Caucasian is a race.) And in the Asian culture, education and academic success are highly emphasized.

So you think asians as a whole value education as highly as amerucan blscks as a whole? Yiu hinestly believer that?

People like you who refuse to acknowledge the REALITIES of what different populations and cultures value are excatly why blacks in particular will always be at the bottom of the heap. As a white person, i don't see blacks or Hispanics in the very slightest as compwtition for future high paying jobs. Asians (yea ALL of them) are the competition of the future. Hispanics i think will pull it out, but this victim mentality and refusal to take any ownership that is pervasive in the black community and amoung self loathing whites only serves to keep blacks as whole without a seat at the table.

Despite living in a mixed community, when i take my white kids to their math and writing learning centers are there absolutly no, and i mean no blacks ever there? But instead the seats are full of Indians, and Koreans? Don't tell me its money either because blacks are fully represented on the area travel sports teams which is much more expensive than academic toutoring.
