No, darling, You misunderstood. In the US Asians are whites. Because we can't have a successful, highly performing and rapidly growing non-white group that achieves phenomenal outcomes without DEI and affirmative action and government help. Therefore Asians must really be whites because otherwise it doesn't fit the narrative of systematic racism and we need to applying huge double standards and wildly different admissions standards to keep out Asians from our elite schools.

You don’t get it, do you? It’s got nothing to do with you being Asian.  Everyone is just sick and tired of tiger parent, drill, robotic, pressure cooker culture that you create.  That and lack of cultural assimilation.  Indians don’t assimilate with whites or blacks, they create only Indian groups.  You are more racist than whites.[/quote]

This post exemplifies the anti-Asian bigotry that has really built up among whites (and which is tolerated) as Asians have outcompeted them. I am writing as a white person. I think the Harvard/UNC lawsuits have really made a lot of white people mad because for the first time Asians are asserting their rights as Americans and speaking up. Whitey doesn’t like it- expects Asians to be quiet and deferential. The next goal for Asians should be to take leadership positions across America - they are drastically under represented. A quarter of the Ivy League is Asian but how many Senators and SC justices? It’s ridiculous. But Asians need to be prepared for backlash like this poster demonstrated. [/quote]

Umm. I wouldn't be so sure of that.  Many of us are applauding them.  And the UNC case mirrors their Harvard case.  People that want merit-based admissions and a push back from holistic and reverse discrimination, are all in favor for merit as a standard.

I don't know who is trying to make this a battle of asians vs caucasians. They used to be united in this fight.  In fact, I think the majority pretty much are for ending AA- period.[/quote]

I was referring to the person who made disparaging comments about “Tiger moms” and “pressure cooker”.  A lot of whites have anti Asian animosity right below the surface and this DEI world we live in now gives them a green light to embrace those feelings of resentment and insecurity. Being anti black is off limits but being anti Asian is fine all day long. After all, Asians are successful and success, by definition, can only be achieved through systemic advantage. [/quote]
