[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would want to k ow this. We are Black and would be weary of sending our child to a majority Asian school, given how poorly Asians treat Blacks and don’t support or defend us when it comes to social justice issues. [/quote]

wow...so much racism in your statement.  I grew up with a black best friend, and I'm Asian American.  My son wrote multiple papers this year in his CES class discussion the social injustice blacks had faced and continues to encounter.  It saddens me to see you inject your own prejudice and make such an unjust blanket statement.[/quote]

Well to be fair, some of it might be immigrants just not knowing or understanding the issues or history of things.
(saw a comment about immigrants a couple of days ago and wanted to reply to it but can't find it now.  Not sure if I misread it or if it got deleted or something)

Around the time when the issue about statues of the Confederate soldiers was going on, someone who has lived in the US for more then twenty years and is highly educated asked me what the whole issue was about.  It took me a little bit to realize that they weren't familiar with the Civil War, slavery, and all of that.

It even applies to Asian American issues.  Where there were some articles about how people overseas or recently arrived didn't experience or understand some of the things that went on here.  So they don't understand why some things may seem offensive to other Asians that grew up here.

Yeah there might be some who may side more white and may not be as sensitive to issues.  In particular those in more wealthy areas.  But that just goes to show how you can't really categorize an entire group of people.  Where there are others that may side the other way.  I can't remember if this was the person I had in mind but there was an Asian person that used to protest along with Malcom X:

And Jeremy Lin (NBA player) used to run out on the court with a hand up don't shoot shirt and supported that as well.[/quote]
