[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of 3 wonderful, talented, bright Asian kids, I’m so tired of being told I should just cope because attacking AA will hurt other different minorities. I don’t want to do that, but you aren’t offering me any solutions to address my kids’ harm. Tell me what you want to do instead for my kids to have a fair shot given their stats and I’m all ears. [/quote]

There are bright and talented kids everywhere of all ethnicities.

How are your 3 kids being harmed?[/quote]

If you choose willful blindness I can’t open your eyes. [/quote]

Almost guaranteed that this response is from a different poster - not the parent ( likely a caring mother).

Stop hijacking other posts.[/quote]

No, it’s me, the original PP. and I don’t appreciate being gaslighted. I actually completely agree the lawsuit is being brought in bad faith, and I don’t support that at all. I’d love to hear an alternative (as I said in my top comment). But I also have no patience for the gaslighting of Asian families and kids (also referenced in my top comment). People have justified this, TO MY FACE, claiming that current holistic admissions practices screens out boring super study nerds. You know… Asians.

The last thing I want is all Asian & White schools. I don’t think that’s in anyone’s best interest. But I also am not interested in hearing the current system is fine. [/quote]

Newsflash: affirmative action and holistic college admissions are not the same.

Holistic admissions aren't going anywhere.

Newsflash: I never said I have a problem with AA. I have a problem with the tireless defense of anti Asian bias and discrimination. [/quote]

BINGO.  This PP has a one-point agenda across forum- Asian bashing. [/quote]

Actually, it's the opposite. Asians are not a monolith in thought or ideology. The Asian Americans protesting in solidarity with diverse crowds at the Supreme Court are wrong? Many traveled hours to get to Washington DC.

Some posters here claim that Asians are "lying" to pollsters or being cowardly in saying the opposite of what they truly believe, or that the poll is showing 69% AA support is "fake."

The Asian Americans who protested against SFFA were courageous and front and center in support of AA.

This isn't Asian bashing. It's lifting up Asian Americans who know the truth about SFFA's agenda.

While you lift them up, I would also like to center the lived experience of Asians who are getting F'd by this policy.[/quote]

What about Asians who are getting F'd by other admissions policies? I think you only like to center this particular policy because it has the added effect of f'ing other people of color (and only people of color).[/quote]

This is the "them versus us" part I don't get. That's exactly what SFFA intended.[/quote]
