[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very good exchange why are asian and immigrants not symbols of diversity

Brabrand states that it's time to get more black and latinx students (URM) [/quote]

I would really like to understand how the first point is the case.

- an immigrant (FWIW not Asian)[/quote]

It's because blacks and to a lesser extent latinos have better lobbying bodies inside the democratic party apparatus to make their voices heard

[b]It's always been fascinating to me why the NAACP doesn't take on asian issues and causes.  Asians are people of color too.  I know why cynically but the hypocrisy is pretty strong[/b]. [/quote]
When Asians start backing, supporting black and Latinos issues/causes and not think of themselves as minority only when it favors them, then NAACP will take on Asians issues.[/quote]

Many Asians are marching for BLM in various cities. BTS has donated millions to BLM and their fans also have donated lot of money and famously trolled Trump campaign rally (Oklahoma) etc. [/quote]

Yes, a few Asians ( mostly younger ones) are marching and supporting BLM Now. But  where were they before this year, before BLM? The vast majority of Asians are in fact against BLM and you know that. Check out any social platform.
Even in this forum, check out all the condescending, dismissive posts towards Black i.e. "they want to pander to the blacks".[/quote]

More examples of Asians supporting black causes:

NBC News:

“The November election has yet again thrust the Asian American community into the middle of a contentious affirmative action fight. This time, it's in California, with Proposition 16, a statewide ballot measure that would restore race-conscious decision-making in public education admissions, employment and contracting — practices that were banned in 1996.

The initiative has won the backing of more than 100 prominent Asian organizations, including the California API Legislative Caucus and Asian Americans Advancing Justice. But it's also facing stiff resistance from some parents who fear it would diminish their children's chances of getting into top-tier University of California schools, such as Berkeley and UCLA, even though the system accepts more Asian applicants than those from any other racial group.”
