[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While many people were worried that Black and Brown people were getting an unfair advantage, new stats like this underscore what the future will hold:

Asians/Indians will quickly overtake whites as the majority on campus AND in the most prestigious grad school programs and professions.

And the progress made for blacks and Latinos will be diminished.

You can further extrapolate the ripple effect when whites become the disadvantaged minority. I give it one decade before it’s very noticeable, and within two generations it will be what drives race wars. (Please don’t shoot the messenger; let’s have a civil discussion.)[/quote]

OK MAGA.    :roll:

Asia has more than 50% of the world population.  And Asians are not a monolith. They make for 50 countries of the world.

So, "WHITES" need to get their act together and start studying hard like other people and compete with Asians.  There is no AFFIRMATIVE ACTION for Whites and Asians.

If Whites are the most privileged race in America then they better make themselves capable enough to compete fairly.
Otherwise don't call Trump Taco for reinstating H1B[/quote]
Is there any proof that Asians actually work harder than other races? They are more resourced than most races for sure.[/quote]

And why are they more resourced?  It is not as if they have benefited from being under colonial rule, is it? It is not as if they get benefit of affirmative action.  Well, it has to do with their family structure and the love that their parents have for them.  The family prioritizes education and will sacrifice for the education of their children. It is hard for everyone in the family but they endure.  Copy that in your own family and you will be successful too.  Need to learn to sacrifice for the education of your children.

The proof that they work harder than any other race in education?  The proof my dear is in the pudding. Have you heard of the achievement gap? Or do you think that they are intellectually superior to other races?

This seems completely unnecessary in a country where you can live a quality upper middle class lifestyle without ever holding post at an elite institutions. The scarcity mindset of Asian parents clearly is a factor of being from an immigrant background.[/quote]

* not every Asian country wants to move to US for quality of life. [/quote]
(Something I always feel annoyed the assumption that all the Asian immigrants are from poorer or developing areas)[/quote]
But that wasn't the assumption of the post. If your goal is the best education instead of upper middle class living, you just don't need to concern yourself with the t20. There's about 100 institutions that'll fit your educational needs, so what? Do asian Americans have some intrinsic understanding about higher ed that we all else lack?[/quote]

A little bit of more context from my perspective:
When I came to the U.S. for college from a homogeneous island country in Asia, I was deeply inspired by the openness and creativity of the college environment here. For me, coming here wasn’t about economic opportunity; it was mainly about escaping the same grinding pressure that many now see within Asian communities in the U.S. Years ago, top U.S. institutions were genuinely inspiring—full of remarkable minds and a true diversity of intelligence. That was the intrinsic value I saw in American education. I could engage in rational, no-nonsense debates with my classmates and teachers. Back home, that would have been nearly impossible because of the deeply ingrained culture of deference to authority.
Given what’s been happening in the K–12 system and the college admissions landscape over the past few years, I’m rethinking where to send my child for higher education.[/quote]

When i was little my parents told me Asians go to school six days a week and that was 35 years ago[/quote]

Correct was like that but if you think about it. It’s ironic that some immigrant families still enroll their children in after-school and weekend tutoring programs here in the U.S.. Speaking as an Asian who dislikes grind culture, it’s almost amusing to see practices I once considered mind-killing practices now taking hold in the U.S. Essentially there is no escape for these poor children. [/quote]

maybe they want their kids to retain ties to language and culture.
why is that a bad thing? White liberals sending their kids to mandarin or spanish immersion school
but somehow it’s  bad for immigrant families to send their kids to weekend heritage language/culture schools? Russians, French, Germans, Muslims; all immigrants do this if they settle in a place that has large enough of an ethnic  community to support it. [/quote]
