We are Asian, do not prep, and have a child in a magnet program. While we are well-to-do, we also know very low-income Asian families who spend all they have on academics for their children.

It's disgusting that people openly discriminate against Asians, as if we were one cohesive group, who spoke the same language, belonged to the same culture, ate the same food, worshiped the same deities, or had similar political views. Asia is HUGE and DIVERSE. We are not inherently better at math or science. We work hard to achieve, even for those of us that employ rather more organic methods than straight-up test prep.

If some people cheated or nearly cheated, then punish them individually, and find a way to regulate entry into magnets that minimizes future cheating. But do so in a way that doesn't punish an entire continent. You did the same for multiple ethnicities that came before us: Native Americans, Blacks, various groups from Europe, and Jews. Have you evolved enough to not do the same to Asians?

Now you're saying Asians are treated worse than Native Americans.  It is disgusting for people to discriminate against any group, so please stop trying to minimize discrimination other groups face by claiming you have it worse.  Comparing discrimination against Asians in the context of TJ admissions to what Native Americans face is absurd.
