[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amy wax and many DCUmers are showing their narrow biased view of Asians. Asians are not a monolithic group. Chinese Asians are different than Korean Asians and Indian Asians. Even within these subgroups there are many different predominant ideologies. Some
Asians vote Republicans and some vote Democratic. Some of them are conservative and some are liberals. Some are bigoted themselves. So it is incorrect to generalize Asians and form a policy position based on biased generalizations. What I find offensive is Amy Wax’s generalization that Asians are culturally less supportive of democracy, cleanliness, and other evolved human behaviors! She basically makes a veiled attempt in promoting how whites are culturally superior to nonwhites! That is racist!

As for my co-Asians who is so against affirmative actions, please open your eyes. You are being pitted against other minorities by the White conservatives so that you do not question their strongholds in the elite Universities. While you are busy fighting against the selection of a few (highly deserving) non-Asian
minority students, you miss fighting against the unfairness of legacy admissions which inherently predominant by Whites. If you really care about meritocracy you need to rally against legacy admission and not affirmative actions. Stop being played![/quote]

Maybe they don’t really care about meritocracy, maybe they don’t have a problem with the majority of “non-meritorious” admissions being legacy admissions because ultimately they want to reap the benefits that gaining access to those of a much higher social class would confer.

At the root of all of this is greed and entitlement.  No group is immune from wanting more, and wanting it at the expense of exclusion of others that they perceive to be less powerful, less worthy, less deserving, or whom they view as having nothing of value to exploit.

As if the golden key to wealth and power Is proximity to whiteness. [/quote]
