[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asians are subjected to racism as well. Even worse, Asians must suffer in silence most of the time since Asians lack sufficient political base/power unlike AA/Hispanics. In fact, this lack of political base/power is what is allowing racial discrimination against Asians in college admissions.  [/quote]I sympathize with some of the problems Asians are experiencing but your [b]comment makes them seem like martyrs[/b] which they are not.

As far as lacking power, [b]China is the majority holder of U.S. treasury bonds[/b].  Not much lacking of power there.  And if there is a lack of political base power, please [b]don't blame that on AA and Hispanics[/b].  Stop presenting Asians as this poor, misaligned group of people.  They are far from that demeaning image.[/quote]

The original comment does not make Asians into martyrs. It alleges Asians are victims of racial discrimination in college admissions. I am not sure if China is the majority holder of U.S. treasury bonds but that has nothing to do with a political base/power of Asians and Asian Americans in U.S. In addition, there was no blaming AA and Hispanics for this lack of political base/power. The comment suggested this lack of power is what is allowing the racial discrimination to continue. Finally, it's not demeaning to assert that Asians are discriminated against in college admissions due to their lack of sufficient political power. It is a factual statement not demeaning at all. Is it demeaning to assert that AA are discriminated against in the US in general?  [/quote]
