[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if schools like Harvard rejected black male candidates because admissions staff gave them negative personality scores for things like ‘probably prone to violence’ and ‘most likely to act unruly and without discipline in the classroom’.  How outrageous would that be?  Of course it’d be despicable to reject a black man for negative personality scores based on racial stereotypes like that.  So why should we tolerate that crap but for Asians?  And you wonder why Asians are upset when Affirmative Action setup a system where they have to be judged in their personality, which ended up being based on racial stereotypes of their perceived behavior.  I can’t believe we even need to discuss this.  Affirmative Action should have died a long time ago based on the monstrosity it morphed into. Maybe at first it had merit, but it just ended up becoming a race based system using stereotypes to judge people. [/quote]

This is a great analogy. Thank you.

If anyone is surprised by this: California banned affirmative action twice. Affirmative Action is not popular even in a very democratic state. And they banned it in 2020- with an even more larger majority of liberal voters and with a higher percentage of votes.

Racism comes in all forms. And racism against Asians is a particularly sinuous type of racism which somehow the POC who think the Harvard admissions process was not racist - think is ok. Like- how are you NOT being racist? Yes, we get college degrees but we have to hide our culture, get even higher grades and more EC and sports, work even harder for everything and on top of that be ok with you guys thinking we don’t belong there because you belong there more.

That is anti-Asian racism. [/quote]
