[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assimilation is a racist term.  If we have to assimilate, we shall assimilate into Indian tribes starting from the mayflower era.  [/quote]
No it isn’t. It’s not racist to point out that Asian American students come to these schools- make the culture grossly sterile, competitive, and suicide-inducing, and only hang out in all-Asian groups. This means they don’t get the benefits of the liberal arts, only engaging in Asian affairs and Asian-centric education and classroom spaces. It makes the education worse, and they feel entitled to university positions.[/quote]

As a black, I am offended by this term assimilation.  If maga doesn’t like these schools, you can go to your Washington & Lee.[/quote]

DP.  Another black here.  I can’t believe this term is still being publicly used today.  Assimilation has been forced upon African Americans.  This is certainly a racist term.  No, it’s a racist practice on blacks for a long time.[/quote]

You can assimilate as a black person yet still maintain your black identity. Really not that hard. Everyone doesn't have to be Carlton from Fresh Prince - agreed that is extreme. You can be Theo from Cosby who clearly was proud of his blackness but also fit in very well with all groups.

But you can just keep blaming everything on racism. Unfortunately, there is still way too much racism in the world. But this is not an example of it.[/quote]
