[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This country and society are rooted in racism, so to fix the problems we now have, we can’t be race neutral or race blind. I think a lot of the people who have problems with the admissions changes don’t even really understand the history of systemic racism in the US. You can’t treat an entire group of humans as less than for centuries and then say “oh, the system is fair.” No, it’s not fair. Literally nothing in this country is fair for Black people who have to overcome far more obstacles than others. They are not starting from the same starting line; it’s as if everyone else has a head start in a race. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t consider yourself to be affluent; if you are not Black, you will not face the same obstacles.[/quote]

Hispanics and Asians have faced similar obstacles and struggles and many times their struggles and suffering are not amplified like the obstacles of blacks. [/quote]

America harbors a fair amount of hatred for Hispanics and Asians, but it doesn't even hold a candle to the hatred that they hold for Black folks.

Most of the Hispanic and Asian families who are here in America chose to come here seeking greater opportunity than what they had in their home countries.

There are some Black families who did the same - recent immigrants mostly from East Africa and some from Nigeria. The overwhelming majority of the Black kids at TJ fall into this category.

But most Black families in America were brought here. They were brought here in bondage and remained in bondage for hundreds of years. That's just different. Yes, we placed Asian Americans in internment camps once upon a time, and yes, that's horrible - but we're talking about literal ENSLAVEMENT for centuries. We're talking about codified second-class citizenship for decades.

That's why their struggles and suffering are amplified. And that's why your comment, which I'm sure you'll double down on, is incredibly tone-deaf.[/quote]

Go read upon how Asians were brought to us to work on the railroads and were treated like slaves and killed and raped. Chinese exclusion act, Japanese internment and other atrocities that are not even taught or discussed. Similar for Hispanics.

Yet, Asians and Hispanics are still discriminated against but hardly gets any preferential treatment and in fact Asians are the only group openly and violent Ly attacked and spit on in public. What do you think would happen if blacks were spit on, punched, kicked, stomped, stabbed, hit with hammer and slashed with knife in broad daylight repeatedly over and over for over a year? National guards would be deployed to protect them and national emergency would be declared. [/quote]

Ain’t that the truth. [/quote]
