Are we not allowed to have “our” culture? All other countries have cultures. If you choose to move to the US you are free to continue living your own culture exclusively, and that is fine and widely accepted, or you can try to assimilate into “our” culture and become a asset to it. It’s your choice.

Hey, the country will be majority minority in about twenty years so the dominant culture will be mix of black, Hispanic and Asian culture

Well, that will make many people very happy, I suppose. That is the culture I was referring to, it’s a melting pot, however sadly, for your sake, it includes white people as well. You seem to be quite racist, why do you hate white people? See how that works?

Should we all just sit back and let the chips fall as they may? We need to somehow level the playing field. If certain groups have differing ideas of how to educate and possess the means and extra time for all of this additional prep and practice, that must be considered to be an advantage. This is not racist and should apply to everyone living in the US. Should we just pull the wool over our eyes?

You are a racist. Most racists don't believe they are. They also tend to be fascist. You can't articulate what that singular education looks like -- the "American" education way -- but find fault in others because of race. It is the same argument that uneducated whites use in supporting Trump -- it was never their fault and always foreigners'. Ironically you find an ally in Fairfax democrats.

Spot on! Northam, of course, is busy trying to erase his racist past and has grabbed onto this as a lifeline. So this uneasy alliance between racists and Fairfax democrats isn't really about policy. If Northam were serious about leveling the playing field, he would increase the number of magnet schools, and in the interim, bus kids to white majority well equipped schools like Langley High (cue the pearl clutching) - both these policy directions are in the 2020 Democratic platform. That won't happen though - this was never about anything but the optics.

Woah. Saying that a society with a White majority is discriminatory towards Asians does not make him/her hate Whites. However, when you have a knee-jerk reaction in the call for more URM representation and try to change the entire demographic make-up of a school to wipe out the majority of Asians (and have Whites dominate the student body instead), this is the response you get. This is racial cleansing of a school. Don't use the word "racist" so casually. Asians are of many different races that get along together and with Whites.

colleges have already figured it out - they realize rounded kids do better in the long run so they look for rounded kids

wtf are rounded kids? Fat kids? You could do with some kumon it seems.

sports, scouts, volunteering, working, all those things the kids in Kumon don't have time for

The term is “well-rounded,” not “rounded.”

My asian American kids are well rounded - scouts, soccer, tennis, golf, chess, science Olympiad, 2 instruments and they have a ton of friends. I personally dislike the amount of time we spend on sports.

My personal opinion: I hear so much about discrimination against Asians when it comes to getting into elite schools. However, what I don't see is Asians speaking up about discrimination against other minorities when it comes to basic human rights. Asians have benefited from the struggles and efforts of other minorities to bring about social change so that all races can be accepted in the US. This includes employment and housing. So, it's a slap in the face when I don't see or hear any Asians speaking up against racism against other people of color.

When I see more Asians get involved with the movements to bring about equal rights for every one, then I'll care about Asians getting a fair shake at getting accepted to TJ or an Ivy League school.

As I said, this is just my personal opinion.

I don’t see blacks speaking up for Asians when Asians are attacked with hate crimes or other forms of discrimination. In fact, Asians are discriminated in college admissions and employment while blacks get a bump. Look what’s going on fcps. It’s a two way street.

My Asian American kid is well rounded as well . She has been playing a team sports in the travel team and doing debate (she got the best speaker award one of the competitions.). She got a distinguished Honor Roll award on the Amc8 ( she was also one of ten members in her Mathcounts team in the school.) and two writing awards from the scholastic competition last year. She has been also volunteering for community since last year which she likes most. ( I love to volunteer with her too!) She is very outgoing, sociable,homorous and kind. She wants to apply TJ this fall but never did prep because she has no time to take the class and I have seen many kids got admissions of TJ without prepping. Please, don’t get the preconception that every Asian American kid is not well rounded and prepping for TJ test.

Asians aren't being discriminated against in college admissions. Opening up the admissions pool and considering a wider range of applicants isn't discrimination. Blacks definitely do NOT get a bump in employment...there are tons of facts to prove that. Also, you say look at what's going on in FCPS? You're only talking about TJ (1 school). How about looking at what's been going on for years in the Loudoun County schools. It was so bad that they issued an apology this week for their past discrimination against Blacks.

Either way, your point or my point, all minorities and people of color need to help each other out, and I commend white people for stepping up, especially over the past 6 months. One's triumph shouldn't come at the expense of the other's.

You commend white people for stepping up? They aren't giving up any of their privilege. They have a massive share of the pie, and are making minorities squabble over a sliver.

Right. Schools and employers should not give a boost to blacks at the expense of Asians. Lift up everyone instead.
