[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have any clue what it is like to be poor? You can’t just get up and move. A huge percentage of people in this country don’t have or know where they would get $400 for an emergency. How do you get a security deposit for a new apartment, much less a down payment for a mortgage?

OMG, I need a break from you people. Using parental controls to block myself from this website for a while. Enjoy ripping each other to shreds, happy holidays.[/quote]
They do not! Fact. One pp posted that "those" people like to group and live together. By those people she meant poor Hispanics. Do they know that for decades in the South they refused to provide buses for AA kids? To provide funding? Do they know that in Ellicott City colored school had no running water or electricity until it closed in 1953? And all the rest were the same in MD? Not only do they not know, they don't care to know. And then rubbish of "look how my Asian parents cared and they worked hard to give us education..." [b]Where are all the poor Asian immigrants today? I don't see them. [/b]Hispanic moms and dads are working 3 jobs to just feed their kids and put some kind on roof over their heads. But, no pps here have never experienced any of that. They think they made it on their own merit after mom and dad gave them 200K for a house, and paid for their college education. They are livid that ILS are giving each of them 15K per year! White fragility and privilege know no bounds!

You may not see them, and lots of other people also don't see them, but they're there. Income inequality in the U.S. is greatest among the Asian-American group.

+1.  I'm 1/2 Asian, and my Asian friends and relatives in NY have dealt with drugs, gangs, etc.  One has a baby born prematurely and drug-addicted; the child has a lot of medical problems.

All Asians are not the same.  It irritates me to no end that Asians are treated are treated as one homogenous model minority and wielded as a weapon against African Americans and Latinos in this way.[/quote]

Thank you.

People forget how in the 1940s and 50s, the GI Bill and redlining mortgages kept the grandparents of many AA millennials in crumbling inner city neighborhoods, but helped whites escape. This also helped fuel equity and college degrees for white Baby Boomers and Gen X, but still shutting out AAs. [/quote]
