[quote=Anonymous]I am not Asian but I think it is obvious that there is a significant amount of antiAsian hate especially in the realm of education.

My son attends a very competitive magnet in our city. They changed the admission standards to give preference to students from certain low income neighborhoods. During a meeting, a representative from the Chinese community spoke on behalf of the students who will lose their place. In his talk he said the parents work multiple jobs and do not speak English. That some of these students leave school and have to work with their parents and that they too were disadvantaged.

The response from the school was disgusting. They just went on about period poverty in certain neighborhoods and how these poor students had to care for siblings and that was why they needed prefer ce in admission. As if Asian students don't have similar experiences.

I have no right to speak for the Asian community, but I wish they would fight back. It has become very popular and politically correct to denigrate them
