Asian hate.  See right through.[/quote]
Bizarre conclusions on a pretty harmless post.[/quote]

Liberal art colleges never attract many Asian students.  Bring Asian in this conversation is clearly targeting Asian.

Take Williams as an example, the percentage of Asian students stay nearly unchanged over the years.

Asians are not being "targeted" by OP. The issue is the [b]Asian [/b]and White students [b]will not want to be friends with and share in life with the non Asian or White students[/b], so why would a non Asian or non White student subject themselves to that? What "Asians" have to understand is that you never want people talking about you, even in a netural way, otherwise you claim "Asian hate" but at the same time all over DCUM, "Asisans" have so much to say about black people, and even white people at times.

Most absurd assertion.  Not in NYC anyway.  [/quote]
Come to California. Berkeley is insanely racially segregated. All asian groups basically everywhere that judge white students and especially other minority students. White students flock towards the greek life for their "community." It's pretty clear when these campuses are heavily segregated, and you really get to see [b]how this generation operates[/b]. There are many other parts of the country where people are very very race-sensitive, and California is one of them. [/quote]

Yes. I don't get this generation, as a Gen Xer. It is like they are turning back time. Or, did we increase immigration too fast in the past 20 to 30 years and there is not longer a sense of cohesion in this country at all?[/quote]
Part of it is [b]immigrant students[/b] who come from cultures where homogeneity is good and they prefer to stay with their cliques of international/their race students. Another part is higher ed becoming very diverse, potentially way too quickly and expecting the northeast boarding school generationally wealthy student to hang out with the rural, conservative queer kid is very unlikely to work in your favor. Diversity is great, but students will always find infrastructure and network in a way to stick to what they are used to and what they know. [/quote]

Showing your true color.  Xenophobia[/quote]
...nothing about that is xenophobic. I'd stick with American students too if I were to go to college abroad. [/quote]

Immigrants' kids are still Americans.  Are you excluding them from your circle just because they are Asian immigrants' kids?[/quote]
Oh my god you’re so dense. I’m specifically talking about Asian immigrant students, who are significant block of American higher ed [/quote]

They aren’t a block.

Seriously, why are Americans so set on lumping more than half of the world’s population into one category?

Do you really think a Korean kid and a Sri Lankan kid see each other as members of some tribe together?

[/quote]

no, is the U.S., "Asian" is a self-created category like "Hispanic" that is a social construct. "Asian" in the U.S. per those that call themselves that, means Indians, Koreans, Chinese, and maybe well to do Vietnamese or other well to do immigrants from the Sinosphere that are financially and academically successful. All others from the Asian continent ar enot really "Asian", they are just what they are: Filipinos, Indonesians, and gasp, Hmongs![/quote]

Enough with the “social construct” bull$hit!  You don’t get to create your own convenient reality by throwing around fashionable buzz words. [/quote]
