The US apologized formerly to Japanese Americans who were placed in interment camps almost 40 years later.
East Germany apologized to Jews in 1990 - 45 years after the end of WWII.

The Japanese government have never officially apologized for their war mongering, enslaving and forced prostitution of women across Asia. A lot of Asians still harbor deep resentment of the Japanese over the fact that the Japanese government still refuses to acknowledge what they did in the early 1900s to the end of WWII.

It is never too late to apologize for systemic racism.

None of the administrators at Stanford now were in charge when this occurred. They probably were still kids themselves. What’s the point of apologizing? They didn’t do it. Are they enrolling these now 80 year olds at Stanford? This is just performative wokeism.

Apologies matter. If your kid does something wrong, I hope you teach them to apologize. Even if there is no remedy. Sometimes the act of taking responsibility is enough. Apologies are not “woke”. Or if they are what you call “woke”, we should all be more woke.

Apologies with 0 action is a spit in the face to the victims. Stanford is apologizing for getting caught yet they still continue to do it with Asian students. This time they will be more sneaky to make sure they arent caught by using arbitrary goalposts like personality scores.

I’m always puzzled when intelligent people cite this argument. The acculturation process for immigrants from most countries in Europe, excluding Jews, was extremely different from others. Like one generation versus generations of systemic barriers.

I'm not the pp you quoted, but your response reveals your ignorance of the Irish immigration experience. Please educate yourself before embarrassing yourself again.

This is funny. As if there were droves of Irish grads who were being kept out of Stanford and the Ivies b/c they were Irish. Didn’t happen.

The Japanese government has officially apologized numerous times, probably much more than any other governments who were colonial powers like the UK, France, Spain, Belgium, etc.
Just because you don't know doesn't mean it didn't happen.
People also need to learn to put the past behind and progress.

I always wonder where this narrative stems from, that Japan is the only country that did not repent for the sins of colonialism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_Basic_Relations_Between_Japan_and_the_Republic_of_Korea

Japan provided South Korea with $300 million grant in economic aid and $200 million in loans together with $300 million in loans for private trust, a total of $800 million as "reparation fee" that Japan had to pay for their illegal occupation.[8]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentiment_in_China#:~:text=China%20refused%20war%20reparations%20from,percent%20of%20China's%20ODA%20received.

China refused war reparations from Japan[8] in the 1972 Joint Communiqué. Japan gave official development assistance (ODA), amounting to 3 trillion yen (US$30 billion). According to estimates, Japan accounts for more than 60 percent of China's ODA received. About 25 percent of the funding for all of China's infrastructure projects between 1994 and 1998 — including roads, railways, telecom systems and harbours — came from Japan.[9]
Japanese aid to China was rarely formally publicized to the Chinese people by the Chinese government, until Japan announced that aid was to be phased out. It was finally publicly acknowledged by Chinese premier Wen Jiabao during his April 2007 trip to Japan.

My kids apologize for things they do. They don’t apologize for things they didn’t do.

Stanford apologized for what it did.

What was Stanford caught doing with Asian students? Sorry, I'm late to this thread and didn't see a link to the info.

Stanford apologized for what it did.

Administrators at Stanford apologized for what previous administrators did seventy years ago. So according to your logic that’s sufficient? The people who actually did it never apologized. And nothing else is being done.

As I said - performative wokeism.

Oh you didn't see this
"Countries, corporations, institutions are legal entities like people.
Every cell in your body is completely renewed in 7 years, but you are still you after 7 years."

So Stanford is Stanford regardless the administrators.
Harvard got sued not the individual administrators.

Korean left wing politicians and groups are promoting anti-Japan sentiment for their political gain notably since 1990s.
Korea received big sum of compensation and aid from Japan for the new relationship. No other colonial countries did better. Italy is making efforts recent years.

Korean left-winger should stop spreading misinformation and hate.
Btw I'm a Korean American

I did see that. It’s irrelevant. That’s a legal definition. It has no bearing on this point. It’s still just a show and serves no purpose.

How is the campus culture now for Jews? When I was in college, not Stanford, there were people putting up displays with poetry in support of Palestinian bombers.

Harvard is sued because its current administrators are actively practicing discrimination in college admission.

Have Romans apologized for slaves they had? The world is still waiting. Someone somewhere has to apologize.

If a school wanted their student body to be reflective of demographics in the United States, would that be discriminatory?

Roman Empire no longer exist, however institutions like Vatican/Catholic Church which mainrtined relatively strong continuity apologized for things happened like 500, 1000 years ago.
