[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In terms of academics, when they look at things like white vs minorities, they usually lump Asians in with whites. The funny thing is, when these two groups -- white and asian - compete for spots in elite univ, then they have different sets of standards. I am Asian. I don't consider myself white in terms of race, obviously, but I know that when academia talks about whites and minorities, they usually lump us in with whites. Maybe it's because as a whole, asians are a small minority. But, yes, this is what happens. [b]It is a disservice to many of the poor asian families who aren't educated and are low income. [/b]They are equally at a disadvantage as blacks and hispanics when it comes to enrichment and access.[/quote] Not to mention the poor white families who aren't educated and are low income. When we live in Montgomery County, it's easy to forget that there are such people.[/quote]
