[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently browsed through the TJ website and found a section with a few scholarships listed. One of them was for the low income families, and another one was for minorities, such as Asians. When I looked through the TJ student directory, it seemed like about 90% of students and parents have Asian last names - obviously minorities deserving a scholarship based on race.[/quote]

The "minorities" in this context are URMs (other than chinese, koreans, Japanese or Indians) who need to be incentivized to try out for TJ.  [/quote]

Japanese are actually not a significant portion of the TJ population at all. It's Korean with some Chinese among the East Asians, and the rest (the majority of Asians) are actually South Asian.[/quote]

Possibly.. I assume most of the japanese ethnicity folks in the country have been here for at least 2-3 generations and their attitudes, behavior and accomplishments have tended towards the "mean" so their level of representation would likely be about the same as that of Whites..[/quote]

I'm not estimating or guessing here. There are probably less than 20 students of any Japanese descent in the school at any given time, and most of them have only one Japanese parent - typically a white father and a Japanese mother. [/quote]
