Advice from Parents of *Minority Students*

[Anonymous]

She might feel comfortable with white students. There are many white students who are open to having strong close friendship with minority students.

Asian hate. See right through.

Bizarre conclusions on a pretty harmless post.

Liberal art colleges never attract many Asian students. Bring Asian in this conversation is clearly targeting Asian.

Take Williams as an example, the percentage of Asian students stay nearly unchanged over the years.

Asians are not being "targeted" by OP. The issue is the Asian and White students will not want to be friends with and share in life with the non Asian or White students, so why would a non Asian or non White student subject themselves to that? What "Asians" have to understand is that you never want people talking about you, even in a netural way, otherwise you claim "Asian hate" but at the same time all over DCUM, "Asisans" have so much to say about black people, and even white people at times.

Most absurd assertion. Not in NYC anyway.

Come to California. Berkeley is insanely racially segregated. All asian groups basically everywhere that judge white students and especially other minority students. White students flock towards the greek life for their "community." It's pretty clear when these campuses are heavily segregated, and you really get to see how this generation operates. There are many other parts of the country where people are very very race-sensitive, and California is one of them.

Yes. I don't get this generation, as a Gen Xer. It is like they are turning back time. Or, did we increase immigration too fast in the past 20 to 30 years and there is not longer a sense of cohesion in this country at all?

Part of it is immigrant students who come from cultures where homogeneity is good and they prefer to stay with their cliques of international/their race students. Another part is higher ed becoming very diverse, potentially way too quickly and expecting the northeast boarding school generationally wealthy student to hang out with the rural, conservative queer kid is very unlikely to work in your favor. Diversity is great, but students will always find infrastructure and network in a way to stick to what they are used to and what they know.

Showing your true color. Xenophobia

...nothing about that is xenophobic. I'd stick with American students too if I were to go to college abroad.

Immigrants' kids are still Americans. Are you excluding them from your circle just because they are Asian immigrants' kids?

Oh my god you’re so dense. I’m specifically talking about Asian immigrant students, who are significant block of American higher ed

Can you directly answer my question?

I did, honey

Asian cultures tend to praise and glorify white attributes and skin, which is deeply problematic to Americans, but we have to accept that this is their culture. If they choose not to talk to black or Hispanic students, that might be a good thing for everyone

Wow we have fallen. We went from white being called racist for not having black friends to allowing racism because we see someone as “foreign” or non white. Our culture is doomed.

Yes, or no?

I am not discussing first gen immigrants. I am specifically talking about international Asian students. Those are two different groups of people. If you can’t tell the difference, you might see all Asian people as the same and might need to work out your personal racism.

Not everything is about Asian people. A lot of these schools were reducing their white students to accommodate for Asian and students of color.

Thank you! When did people become so black-Asian binary? If you don’t feel comfortable at a top liberal arts college, you probably shouldn’t be going to college.

I also noticed this change where conversations with black students get filled with discussions about Asian students and vice versa.

There’s a lot Asian and black students can relate to if they let their guard down

Asians feel threatened in their identify as Americans whem African Americans are being talked about, and they are not.

Asian Americans react defensively to discussions of African-Americans because the model-minority narrative relies on contrasting Asian success with the African American struggle, so highlighting systemic racism undercuts a storyline many families feel protects their status; policy debates over affirmative action and selective-school admissions are cast as zero-sum, making some parents fear that more attention to African American issues could translate into lost opportunities for their own children; and newer immigrants often absorb U.S. politics through ethnic-language media, which peddles in the zero-sum game.

Do you want black people to exist? Or would a Asian-White society be ideal?

So many what? Like what are your even referring to. Asian Americans are doing fine and are at their highest point culturally and visibly in American history.

Well is it true, or not? Again, the mere speaking about Asian people not on there terms is not racist. Every discussion about them doesn't need to run through the ask an Asian person if I am allowed to say this filter first.

There’s a lot of hypocrisy from the crowd who over inflate white racism, I noticed this in my institution where white students were seen as racist if their lab group was all white, but all Asian groups who spoke in another language and didn’t work with the rest of the class were permissible and even promoted.

Did not read the thread in total. But once DC realizes that skin color doesn’t matter, they will be free to enjoy this collfge and most will enjoy it with them. Race only matters if you make it.
