[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, now striver is a racist term.  But a type of racism openly allowed on dcum.[/quote]

It's white people talking about other white people.[/quote]

Usually, yes.

Rich white people don't like MC or poor white people either. [/quote]

It definitely has a strong racist connotation.

Here is how it typically goes (posts from this week):

"Emory is seen as the “fall back” or “consolation prize” for many kids who are wanting to attend an Ivy. "

"Emory struck me as very UMC immigrant/Northeast background/Ivy aspirant “[b]striver[/b]-ish” "

"This is an accurate assessment. Emory has [u]a lot of kids whose [b]Asian immigrant[/b] parents [/u]want them to go to a top 20 school no matter what. It is filled with these type of [b]striver [/b]kids."

[/quote]

On dcum, no one calls ivy schools striver schools.  No one.  They typically refer to second tier schools having a large percentage of Asian students.

These Asian students have the stats for ivies, but are excluded from attending one, albeit still attending a really top school.

Dcum feels like these schools are striver schools.  To quote, one poster said that [admitting a large number of Asians] "is really a shame. It’s a disservice to the school and to [other] kids who go there".

Believe me, the racist is blatant on dcum.  These are just posts from this week.  You want to turn a blind eye.  Fine.[/quote]

Do most kids not care about seeing really large numbers of Asians at a college? My kids all noticed it right away and commented on it. It was a fact they were noticing - - high asian population. They still applied to the schools. Is it okay if black people notice there are not very many black kids on campus but not okay for a white kid to notice the large numbers of Asians? Curious.
