[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are Asian in a 60% white, 10% Asian school. [b]They hate being a minority,[/b] but at this point they are also so attached to their friends and neighbors that moving is out of the question. [/quote] How are Asians treated like a minority? I can’t imagine that being Asian is any way a hindrance to them. [/quote] Spoken as a non-Asian, clearly. [/quote] Asian kids get all the negatives and none of the positives of being a minority. Backhanded compliments about being nerdy, bullying comments about language and thin eyes in school. Then after they put up with the teasing for 12 years, they get the added benefit of being the only minority required to score 200 points on the SAT to get admitted to the same colleges as white kids (or 400 points higher than black kids)[/quote]
