Ever heard the term $5 Indian? White folks could pay $5 to register as a Native American and would receive land and other benefits set aside for Native Americans. This isn’t new. |
Even knowing this, why do the Asians insist on declaring war against the Hispanics and Blacks? |
You are so mistaken. There is no war at all against Hispanics and Blacks. In fact Asians understand aspiring for opportunity and self betterment very well. It is just that whites are using Hispanics and Blacks as an excuse to beat up Asians who they think are becoming too uppity. No one likes being taken for granted and discriminated against. |
I thought the Asians were complaining that Blacks and Hispanics were taking spots at schools like TJ and Ivy’s when Asian kids are more qualified. Is my interpretation incorrect? |
Asians have been made a pawn at TJ. White numbers have actually gone up. And that's why all these changes were encouraged. That rankles because the people in power knew exactly what they were doing. They wanted to be seen as benevolent while benefiting themselves. |
No. They did not know what they were doing. Every time they make a decision to encourage more poor minorities--Blacks and Hispanics, the results do not turn out as they wish. Has it occurred to them that just maybe everyone does not want to go to TJ? |
white numbers are essentialy changed, but lets keep the narrative alive despite evidence. |
Never ever have I heard Asians go to the white man and complain that the white folks are taking spots they deserve. They complain about the URM’s. They don’t care when the URM’s are suffering discrimination, but when they feel they are being slighted they want the URM’s to join in and fight for them. URM’s have been fighting for Asians for decades and look how you have teated us in return. And in this particular situation it would be bad for the URM’s to join in and fight for the Asians, yet you still have nerve to ask the URM’s to fight for you. Even going so far to praise some racist republican politicians while asking them to fight for you. This is ridiculous. No, keep running to white mommy and daddy. |
lol can you be more evil? It is you white people who discriminate and take advantage of everyone including URMs and now you're saying Asians don't care they are discriminated? |
It is the liberals who are the true racists. Remember it's not what they say, it's what they do. The truth is liberals are not helping URMs. They create a few tokens (and only tokens) here and there at the expense of hurting non-white people more. The true motive has always been white supremacy as it displayed in this forum. |
You are talking absolute nonsense. Refute the facts. No one is anyone's mommy or daddy or begging for help. I don't know where you get that stupid talking point. Protesting an injustice is not wrong. Despite Trump and the hypocrite self serving white liberals (you guys are in the same category), there is still a right and a wrong. |
Why? The goal of athletic teams is to win games. It's not the goal of TJ to win anything. |
See, this was an argument that I bought for some time - until I saw application numbers among all non-Asian demographics skyrocket once the admissions process was adjusted. The previous reality of what TJ was had a demonstratively negative impact on folks actually wanting to go to TJ, which made the process MUCH less competitive. I'm looking forward to seeing those numbers continue to grow in the coming years, which should result in a continued strengthening of the overall student body and the academic experience. |
Please. Of course they knew what they were doing. Abuse of power for self interest. |
I assume you meant "unchanged" here, and you're correct. White admissions to TJ saw a small increase that tracked with the increase in percentage of applicants. |
