Yes, I see this all the time in the TJ threads. I have tried to point it out when it happens. Somebody thinks it’s very clever to refer to basketball/sneakers when we’re discussing fairness in the TJ application process.
Only racists see it that way.
Rest of us understand that different families have different priorities, some spend on basketball and others on academic enrichment, and few others like us on both.
Do only "racists" think this comment is racist?
"The AP test industry is unethical, keeps stolen past exam questions compiled as practice tests out of reach of many potential and capable students. Instead of listing these products under sports category right next to basketball shoes, they created a separate category called Books. Imagine the outrageous difficulty that puts for underrepresented minorities (except asian americans) to reach these products."
How many racist posts have made calling Asian American students preppers and test buyers?
There are many hundreds of racist posts that refer to brilliant hardworking asian american students as test buyers.
Just this AAP section alone has 73222 results

That doesn’t justify comments like this:

not sure what the post is trying to say about products, basketball, books? If it has negative connotations, it's absolutely not appropriate.
With the racist that posted these hundreds of test buying messages, the racism against asian americans is at an entirely different level.

But it is odd to frequently point to the NBA, rec/HS basketball, and sneakers on the TJ threads. It’s almost as though the posters want us to think about a particular identity group every time they make these comparisons…

Many. And I've reported a bunch of them.
That does NOT make it OK for other posters to push racist tropes about sports/basketball/sneakers/parenting when we are discussing STEM and TJ.
Thank you.
It’s not okay to stereotype identity groups at all. It doesn’t work to fight against being stereotyped by stereotyping other groups. It’s surprising to me that there are people who appear to think this is okay.

Next time, buy a pair for her as well, and let us know her reaction
