[quote=Anonymous]I posted in one of these threads about my DC’s teachers and administration mixing her up with her violin-playing Asian American classmates. I think that is the true story of systematic bias. The Kumon/personality stuff is a distraction from the real issue. Even when an Asian American kid is NOT playing the kumon/tennis/4.5 GPA game and essentially plays along with the rules and system set by white families, schools and elite colleges, they still get unfairly dismissed as part of a group stereotype. My Asian DC does not do stereotypical Asian American activities, excels in typically “white kid” activities, has excellent grades, etc. And yet she is still treated by teachers as part of a homogenous, faceless group and is essentially invisible and unseen as an individual. It’s a no-win game.[/quote]
