Discrimination against Asians

[Anonymous]

The real question is why don’t we just create additional schools like TJ? If there are so many qualified kids that they only accept a tiny % and need to hold a lottery, seems like the solution is to create a second or third TJ.

About time TJ represents the community! Those that feel differently are welcome to go start their own private school. Please do!

Yeah, maybe the Asians who are so unhappy can go rescue Basis McLean. They seem to think everything they touch turns to gold and Basis definitely needs a makeover.

Asians make up 20% of the county and pay taxes so they are entitled to receive public education as well as gifted education just like any other taxpayers in the county. Fcps shot down mindful of this fact when they completely ignore 20% of their constituents.

The SH members who push this racist proposal will be voted out at the next election.

Do you mean the School Board?

No, they won’t. Some Langley parents made the same types of claims last year when they objected to suggestions their boundaries might change and the only incumbents who lost were the two Republicans they supported (Schultz and Wilson). This will be old news by the time the SB is up for re-election in 2023.

Grow up and stop acting like you are the center of the universe.

If all Asians flip the other direction, it might just make races in NOVA competitive.

Yes. I think Asians make up about 9% of the voters in Virginia.

Y'all don't seem to get it that whites have been pulling away from TJ for years. Applications are down. When accepted white kids and white families choose to go elsewhere.

Because they don’t want their kid to be in classes with too many Asians. This is a win for them, they can now happily send Johnny and Susie to TJ because they will not have too bee around too many Asians any more.

(Now replace Asian with Black or Muslim and see how that sounds).

Uh no, white families, AA families and Hispanic families prefer schools that are more rounded and are not prep at all cost, cheat at cost pressure cookers. Posters keep saying white
people want to change TJ admissions. They really don't. White families like AA families and Hispanic families would rather their kids have an well rounded high school experience without the pressure cooker environment. Thus the decline in white, AA and Hispanic students. The high achiever white, AA and Hispanic students prefer to go elsewhere and not the TJ at all cost.

Well TJ is a specialized advanced STEM school not a regular HS. Pay attention.

How does discrimination against "Asians in America" compare to discrimination against "Americans in Asia?'

Americans are treated well in Asia especially in comparison to how Asians are treated in America. Blacks are treated especially well in Japan.

Asians, while primarily Democratic, do not vote entirely as a block and preserving TJ’s current imbalance would only be the central voting issue for some in local elections in 2023. Anyone who’d cast a vote in a state or national election based on the decision of a local School Board is a fool.

However, repeated efforts to suggest all Asians want to keep TJ 75% Asian very well could lead towards the type of discrimination that a few Asian posters here claim is already happening (in order to advance their arguments against change). History suggests that perceived opportunity hoarding by ethnic minorities in multi-racial societies often leads to major conflict, and this country is already past the “it could never happen here” point.

Say that to BLM. Just like BLM, the crazy response here is proof that Asians are being discriminated against. Wouldn’t you think that Asians would have better things to do? This has hit a nerve. They are trying to root out one of the few means that Asians can survive in this world. When Asians hold high offices, become CEOs, get lead roles in Hollywood films, and there more opportunities for athletic scholarships, then come back and say way at you said. This lottery is helping out the most privileged demographic in this county, country, and the world.

LOL. As long as they have a stamped date on their visas or passports to leave.

But that will require too much work for Scott $20,000/hr Brabrand and the school board.

Overwrought nonsense. No one would be denying your kids an education that would pave the path for them to succeed in many fields.

If you experience discrimination at every level of society, you would not complain?

Asians turn to the more objective stem fields because all things subjective; politics, sports, the arts, senior management, have a glass ceiling. You are putting Asians into a corner. This would be how you react too.

Gifted children are entitled to gifted education in Virginia not random lottery.
