[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get all of this generalizing about why asians "succeed" while other racial groups don't.

Can't we just do stuff that reduces things that clearly hurt some groups more than others (e.g. inequality in education), without forcing everyone to read Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo?[/quote]

Because assigning people to groups is what modern DE&I is all about.

My theory is that the GOP successfully used race as a divisive issue to win elections during the 1970s, 1980s, and part of the 1990s. This strategy rallied their base and they were able to somewhat contain the racist part of the party.... until Trump.

The Dems needed some hot button issue to rally their base and leaned into the identity politics stuff, focusing on DE&I. It gets people out to the polls, especially when it's "us" versus "white supremacy."  If the GOP can get their racist part of the base under control, the Dem's won't have a white supremacist boogeyman, and will start losing elections.[/quote]

Even if GOP racism were eliminated tomorrow, the Dems would still have plenty of issues around which to rally their base and the issues would be handed to them by Republicans. Try a woman's right to choose for starters.[/quote]
