[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Asian American neither partly particularly appeals to me.

I'm not a fan of the frequent denial of science on the Republican side, and what happened on 1/6 was abhorrent. 
[b] But at least they believe in the concept of a meritocracy[/b], as imperfect as it may be.

Democrats seem more rational overall, but Ds repeatedly treat Asians like second class citizens.  I feel like I've heard more racism and stereotyping coming from Democrats which is quite ironic.  The whole concept of Asians being white adjacent or white supremacists is like wtf.

Yet, Democrats seem more baffled when Asians don't show them loyalty.  Well, when's the last time you really celebrated Asian American success?  Should it be a surprise many Asians are having second thoughts?[/quote]

What are you talking about? GOP does not believe in meritocracy unless they are using the word to divide the minority. They believe in White supremacy without any merit. GOP has been the party that is proud of anti-intellectualism. They advertise education as an elitism. They want Asians to fight with Blacks and other POC for limited opportunities so that we stay blinded and not question their hold on the rest of the opportunities. Wake up!

As for your comments about Democrats, please provide examples. I do not believe your opinion is rooted in evidence.[/quote]

Last I checked, Democrats are the ones pushing the idea that meritocracy is a myth.  While it's not perfect, there are many immigrants who have made a better life for themselves through hard work and determination.  That includes black immigrants.  Again, it's not perfect by any means, but immigrants and children of immigrants seem to do okay.

Many progressives, on the other hand, want to say that a meritocracy doesn't exist and that Asians are somehow white adjacent or white supremacists.

That doesn't sound offensive and racist?

The GOP aren't the ones trying to banish standardized tests, repeal Prop 209, and reform magnet schools like TJ, Lowell, and Stuyvesant.

Pop into any thread about these school issues and see how many people accuse Asians of basically being undeserving of their spots at these magnet schools.  There are too many Asians, so they must be cheating.  There are too many Asians, so they must not be gifted.  There are too many Asians, so the school must be toxic.  It's mostly Democrats that are lobbing those accusations.

Then you have the clear disrespect exhibited by school boards toward Asians:

Alison Collins still has her job by the way, even though she literally referred to Asians as "house n****r".

Then there's Andrew Yang being depicted as a foreign tourist in the NYC mayoral race.

Incredibly racist, right?  You'd be surprised how neutral the media was on this issue and how many New Yorkers defended the cartoonist.

Also, Boston just elected it's first Asian American mayor.  Should be great, right?  Here's the headline of one of the first articles published afterward: "Why Boston will need to wait longer for its 1st elected Black mayor."  https://www.npr.org/2021/11/16/1055972179/boston-first-black-mayor

Again, when is the last time Democrats celebrated Asian American success?  Democrats seem to want to punch Asians down and then tell them it's good for them.[/quote]
