+1 You’re not White, you will never be White. White supremacy applies to you, too, guys. White supremacy was set up to favor Whites, end of story. Not model Asians, not anyone else. You will never be accepted in the club any more than White women are in the club - a token, here or there, but not of the club.

Given in the recent VA election, Rs elected a white man, a black woman, and a Cuban man, I don’t know how these statements can hold. They were highly supported by conservatives.

A 'merit-based immigration' system? You mean a pay-to-play system like Canada where you can buy golden visas? No thanks.

You saying this like the US doesn't have an investor visa program.

H1-visa is a more like a merit based immigration system, which our great leader wanted to reduce/restrict.

It is a profoundly broken system used principally to avoid paying US citizens competitive wages.

What a toxic and cynical way of looking at our society. There is no government-sanctioned "club" in the United States. There is no law, except for Affirmative Action, that discriminates against a people based on the color of their skin, and Affirmative Action is certainly not a tool of white supremacy. If the two PPs have any evidence, any at all, that there are laws on the books that promote and protect white supremacy, please list them so that we can fight against them.

+1, many of my fellow Asians have become so used to the "Republicans are racist" mantra that they just default to this position without any further thought or inquiry.

For the left and right, you better think twice before you attack Asian Americans. Many of the big tech companies are led by AA, and many SWE are AA. Without them, your phone will die, your photos will disappear from the Cloud, your car cannot start, your NEST will not keep your house warm, etc.
For that prof, she should go to a cave.

Race is very complex in the US.

Every group sees things through their own lens.

Asian Americans are in an interesting spot: they tend to be more affluent, better educated, and high achievers.

They also have very strong opinions on race, class and ethnicity among themselves.

It is weird how it goes because over the last few years there have been many who have lost out on jobs or opportunities based on either almost nothing or some past misstep.

I hope UPenn Law students organize a boycott of her classes. I would be ashamed to take a law degree that did not fire such a professor.

That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t throw them under the bus in a heartbeat. It doesn’t mean they’re in the club. Diamond and Silk are also highly supported by conservatives; it doesn’t mean they think those two women are people entitled to full rights. But hey if Republican minorities feel that the practices of the GOP are acceptable and want to let themselves be used, they’re welcome to throw away their votes.

I still don't get this idea that Asian Republicans are being "used". How exactly am I being used, as an Asian American who is also a Republican? My fellow republicans are fighting to protect the ideals of classical liberalism - not all of them, but most. They are also trying to fight against the systemic racist policy that is Affirmative Action. They are trying to implement merit-based immigration, which will help fellow Asians - such as the wonderful student we hosted over Christmas who ponders what his life would be if he did not get a spot in the lottery. He is studying data analytics and would love to apply his abilities in the US than back in Asia. It was such a difficult conversation to have with him, to sense the genuine desire, the ability to do good in society, but can't because of the luck of the draw.

On the other side, we have people like Ted Liu who has stated "I support affirmative action. I also support the use of race in college admissions."

Gee, such a tough choice.
