[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, if you say so.

I hope you will read the news involving hate and harassment if Asian Americans and try a bit harder to watch your language.  Pro tip— if you call a space with lots of Asian Americans toxic, you’re on the wrong path.[/quote]

What happened in Atlanta is disgusting and unconscionable. Trying to use those horrific hate-filled murders to justify shutting down a conversation about how harmful TJ’s culture of hyper competition can be to its students simply because it happens to have a high concentration of Asian-Americans is grossly tone-deaf.

It’s important to note here that we will have accomplished absolutely nothing if the racial composition of the school changes but the culture of comparison doesn’t.[/quote]

It is not tone deaf at all.  Racism does not announce itself with a noose in the front yard.  It starts with subtle and insidious (and outwardly innocuous) narratives that unfortunately culminate in catastrophic events like Atlanta.  There is enough and more of this self serving anti-Asian stereotyping on this Board. The glib PP who refers to “a lack of cultural fluency” is just perpetuating a stereotype. It is no coincidence that recent Indian characters on TV - Raj, Apu and Baljeet are all nerds in need of “cultural fluency”.
