[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, PP, I do realize this. I stated that Asians are de facto whites in general in academics because they are not "under represented minorities", and have high test scores *as a group*. I am not talking about individuals. You can chill. I am not insinuating that there are no black or hispanic smart people.[/quote] PP, I think that you really need to distinguish between "having high test scores" and "being white". To generalize -- white people do not consider Asian people to be de-facto whites in academics; white people consider Asian people to be not-black-or-Hispanic people. And, although I am not Asian, it does not seem to me that (as another generalization) Asian people consider themselves to be de-facto white people. If anything, Asian people consider white people to be a. not-black-or-Hispanic people b. the beneficiaries of affirmative action benefiting white people at the expense of Asian people.[/quote]
