Discrimination against Asians

Superiority? You are the ones who think you know best, saying we can always try to grow up. Your sentence wreaks of superiority.

Victim card? We know we are discriminated against. Therefore, we work and will work harder. What victim card?

It was dead in the water, but now we have Amy Barrett.
See ya later affirmative action!

Thank god. How ironic it took conservatives to try to end racist policies!

Not ironic at all. Republicans is the party that doesn't focus on segmenting people into groups based on their skin color.

They are playing the privileged card with the victim card. And the victim card is not even theirs!

"Besides this sort of neglect, Asian-Americans face active discrimination. Approximately 30 percent of Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders reported that they had endured discrimination in the workplace, the highest reporting percentage of any racial group. Blacks were second at 26 percent.

The primary reason for this employment discrimination is that Asian-Americans are often deemed unsuited for high-ranking management positions. Researchers at the University of Toronto, Jennifer L. Berdahl and Ji-A Min, found that employees of East Asian descent, generally Chinese, Japanese and Korean, were stereotyped as high in competence but low in warmth and dominance, perpetuating “the idea that East Asians are ideal as subordinate employees, suited for technical competence positions, but are unqualified to be leaders and managers.”

This — referred to as the “bamboo ceiling” — explains why college and advanced degrees hold less worth for Asian-Americans than for whites. As professor Chang noted, “Returns on education rather than educational level provide a [good] indicator of the existence of discrimination. Many Asian Americans have discovered that they, like other racial minorities, do not get the same return for their educational investment as do their white counterparts.”

By not studying how racism impairs Asian-American lives, we underestimate and miss crucial intelligence on how white privilege sabotages the hopes and dreams of people of color. The Asian-American story differs from the black story which differs the Latino story, but each, along with the Native American story, must be examined and mastered. Each, when pieced together, form a puzzle that we must assess in all its troubling detail. The story that starts with “Tony, an East Indian” lays bare the fearsomeness and complexity of white supremacy.

Morality and wisdom dictate that we no longer discount the pain of our Asian-American brothers and sisters."

Thanks for posting that article - there’s a lot of history there I was unaware about.

Wanted to highlight this “ The racial justice community often ignores the plight of Asian-Americans because their successful image is frequently thrown in black and brown faces to silence their cries for improved treatment. This isolates Asian-Americans from other minorities who otherwise would be allies in the battle against anti-Asian bigotry. White supremacy’s divide-and-conquer strategy has proven formidable.”

Governments led by white leadership are master manipulators. They set aside a very small part of the pie for others and pit different racial groups to fight after these scraps. It's a very colonial strategy. The irony is, they were kicked out of all those other countries but it persists here. The pendulum is starting to swing the other way these days here as well, however.

Do tell. And then you can move on to explaining the racism in Asian countries and why virtually no one who isn’t Asian even tries to make a living in those narrow-minded societies (the attitudes of which nevertheless sadly get exported here even by those fleeing their rigidity).

That’s not actually true. Among other examples, Asia is overrun with panhandling backpackers https://www.boredpanda.com/begpackers-tourists-travel-begging-locals-money - looking for handouts wherever they are, unlike the immigrants you hate, who’re actually paying taxes and contributing.

This is really an interesting video, worth watching if you have the time.

I hope Asians will come to their senses and move away from the democratic party. Unfortunately the democratic party moved away from us.
