Discrimination against Asians

[Anonymous]

SJWs are exactly why I switched parties. Can't deal with the hypocrisy.
The dems and SJWs aren't interested in equal opportunity (and the work it would involve to address it - integrated neighborhoods anybody?").
They are only interested in the most simplistic of ways to address social inequality - equal OUTCOME.

It's asinine and fuzzy logic thinking.

And crapping on Asians in the process acting oblivious.

Please do not despair AA families!
I know this is a troubled time in our country and racism against AAs has been on the uptick.

Our numbers are growing, the country changes whether or not the populace embraces it. Affirmative action is on the doorstep of being repealed.

Don't let a few lonely racist folks despair you. I'm not sure why they are posting here, but who cares? The future is Asian.

Thr economic center of the world is moving back east and this century is an Asian century.

Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority in the US — liberal whites are scared.

Sounds more like Asians ruin local education because they are so worried about missing out on all the action back east.

Asian American here. DH and I are American. DH has served in the US military. Our kids are Americans.

That’s like saying white people are missing out in Europe.

One of the sources of Asian American resentment is the fact that whites and blacks consider Asians as other than. When someone says how good your English . Or how beautiful your eyes are. Or, heh heh, you must be good at math. Back handed compliments used to drive a wedge between. Remember that 2018 US Open women's tennis championship between one American legend and another American up and comer? Oh yeah, that's right. Naomi Osaka wasn't advertised by the white media as American because she had only lived 15 of her 18 years (at the time) in America, was an American citizen, and has a Haitian father. The fact that she now represents Japan for the Olympics now does not belie the fact that she is who she was. Many Americans have changed citizenship to participate in international sports. More recently, many millionaires and billionaires that helped create the problems we now face, have changed citizenshep merely to pay less in taxes.

So many SJW whites bend over backwards for non-citizen hispanic children and use acronyms like DREAMers to show how American these non-citizens are. Many of those kids do work hard and probably should be allowed to stay in this country. Where is the support for Americans who are Asian and US citizens (as well as their non-citizen brothers and sisters)? Please stay on that soapbox and do the same for Asians instead of maintaining that southern white view on orientalism.

What is this word salad about?

If Naomi Osaka wanted to be recognized as American on the international stage, she'd compete as an American. She represents Japan not only at the Olympics, but at every WTA-sponsored event. Compare that to immigrants like Monica Seles and Martina Navritilova who proudly represented the USA about becoming US citizens. And, despite that, Osaka gets a huge amount of press in this country, not only because she is a top player but also because of her ties to the country and recent social activism. In no way, shape, or form is she short-changed - in fact, she is the highest-paid female athlete in the world now in terms of endorsements.

You posters continue to treat efforts to provide greater opportunities for URMs as personal attacks, when that is not the intent. You create the wedge, and then you dive in headfirst.

Are you kidding me? Naomi represented Japan after the US Open. She was an American citizen at the time but all they kept doing is bringing up her Japanness and did not mention once that she was a US citizen. She's not the only Asian the white media has done this to. Chloe Kim. Michelle Wie, and Jeremy Lin come to mind. Oh and how about the most famous Asian athlete ever? Oh yeah, Tiger Woods is only African-American.

By the way, is every dual Israeli-American citizen not American as well? That list is quite long and quite prestigious and includes many Americans in government who have made positive contribution to America.

Your arguments and "history" will continue to get diminished over time. Your statues and holidays are already falling to the wayside of history.

Again, you are babbling incoherently, thinking that random attacks on white people will sustain your idiocy.

The US media gave tons of attention to Asian-American athletes such as Michele Kwan and Nathan Chen. They were always portrayed first and foremost as representing the USA, even when neither managed to bring home the gold.

when Michele Kwan lost to lipinski once, the msnbc headline was “American beats out Kwan!” They were portrayed as Americans as long as there was no white American to carry the flag. Not everyone, but a lot of whites do consciously or subconsciously view Asian Americans as perpetual foreigners. It ‘s a well established truth in social science.

There is no reason to waste your time and effort to try to convince a person otherwise. Conviction bias?

It is dismaying to have people on this thread tell AAs we are are not discriminated against, or that we are discriminating against others. But the American population is large and diverse. A few white people don't speak for all white people. In a way I find the anonymous honesty refreshing. You KNOW people think like this, it's sort of funny to "hear" it. Who cares?

Oh, they aren't oblivious. They are well aware, they just don't mind the collateral damage to Asians. I think among some people there is suspicion of the success of AAs, hence the cheating/prepping alliegations.

Affirmative action will be repealed soon enough and I would guess college admissions are going to look a like like CA. Dim sum in the cafeteria anyone? No more handicapping!

There are more and more AAs represented in upper mangement and goodness knows tech. Things aren't stagnant. Don't lose faith!

Asian Americans will still be overrepresented if removing the admission test and relying only on middle school GPA if the bar is set much higher than 3.5. Let’s face it. the stats of all academic measures are pretty consistent. It’s not like aa as a group only stands out in TJ admission.

How's that combination of regularly asserting one's superiority and playing the victim card working out for you? Not too well in FCPS, if recent developments are any indication. You could always try to grow up.

The affirmative action is clinging by the finger tips.

This is too funny! A white person on a thread about Asian american discrimination telling them they have it wrong - if it doesn't smack of superiority, what does?! lol

And playing the victim card? Please! All your whiney complaining doesn't exactly come across as any BUT playing the victim card?! lol

You're too funny.

The TJ you wanted is gone. Fight over the carcass all you want. If think the Supreme Court is going to force FCPS to reinstate the prior test, you know nothing about law or policy.

Agreed. TJ is gone. Time to flourish at our base schools and focus on getting in to top colleges from there. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will require race neutral consideration for college admissions by the time our kids are applying. I can't believe I've become a Republican.

LOL! I can't believe I've become a Republican either. The hypocrisy and disingenuous virtue signaling of the Democratic party is out of control now. Anyone who has lived in a socialist country knows that the US will be on the fast track to socialism if the Democrats win.

Agreed. This is not even about being for or against Trump anymore. It's about being for or against socialism. Although there are terrible implications either way, I'll take Trump over socialism anyday.
