You are so mistaken. There is no war at all against Hispanics and Blacks. In fact Asians understand aspiring for opportunity and self betterment very well. It is just that whites are using Hispanics and Blacks as an excuse to beat up Asians who they think are becoming too uppity. No one likes being taken for granted and discriminated against. [/quote]
I thought the Asians were complaining that Blacks and Hispanics were taking spots at schools like TJ and Ivy’s when Asian kids are more qualified.  Is my interpretation incorrect?[/quote]

I don't think that too many Asian families would have a problem with admitting more Black and Hispanic students - assuming that it was due to doing a better job of identifying and enticing talented URMs.  On the other hand, if it's simply because the school system suddenly decides to play with the numbers because there are "too many Asians," a lot of people would have a problem with that.  You don't have to be Asian for that to bother you.[/quote]

If that were the case these parents would all be angry at universities which give preference to legacy students; however, no one seems upset about that.  Presumably because white students are the main beneficiaries. [/quote]

Plenty of people are upset about that of all races. [/quote]
The Asians aren’t doing that because if they did, that would put them up against white mommy and daddy.  That’s the last thing they want us to do.  As an earlier poster said, they want to assimilate.[/quote]

It's more than that - given the relatively high % of Asians in elite colleges, they figure that their own children will benefit from legacy preferences.  The reason that white and asian people hate affirmative action is because they do not benefit.  They have no problem with preferential admissions policies as long as it helps them ([b]and also don't help groups they deem undesirable[/b]). [/quote]

This is important. There is an undercurrent at TJ of parents who have no future potential TJ applicants but who are displeased with the admissions changes because part of the appeal of TJ was that their students would not have to attend a school with Black kids and would therefore "be safe".[/quote]

How shameless can you be?  How do you sleep at night? Do you always project this hard onto others?  You're exploiting one racial group that you've already damaged in order to attack a different racial group that you don't like.  Using an accusation that has no basis in rational fact.

Don't pretend like we don't all know that the TJ changes happened at the behest of a rich White Savior who sends his own kids to private schools.  Or that he literally used a fudge factor in his admissions number just to make sure there'd be fewer Asians.  [/quote]

That isn't accurate. [b]The changes were done to give all students a fair chance [/b]not just those whose parents spend $10k on prep classes.[/quote]
Please, we all know that's a liberal lie.
