[quote=Anonymous]Parents of non-Asians increasingly do not want to send their kids to TJ, not because they're on their asses and screens, but because they're on the ballfields or the stage - and they correctly understand that in order to have the best chance to get into TJ, they will have to give those passions up (which have incredible value both inside and outside the classroom) to maximize their test prep and STEM activities.[/quote]

I want non-Asians to recognize that the PP Asian does not represent all Asian, but this is how you perceive all Asians, and the PP just confirms your perception. But,  remember, that is one person. We have to stop stereotyping people. [/quote]

I'm not the "PP Asian" you are referring to nor do I think like that but why are you so concerned about what others will think of you?  Are you afraid they will come after you with pitchforks?  Let them. I have bigger pitchforks..  We are not Chinese miners from a 100 years ago.  [/quote]

It's because I'm Asian, but I personally can't stand the mentality of the PP, so I don't want to get grouped in with people who think like that, and unfortunately non-Asians assume all Asians think like that, but that is far from the truth. [/quote]
