You can feel the hurt and taste the tears ?

So, the virus did not originate in China?

Have you always struggled with reading comprehension?

Way more unqualified white students get into Ivy schools compared to other non Asian minorities. Look at Kushner and 45.

Asian lives do matter too. They just seem to be quieter when treated unfairly. No protests, no one raising fists, no blaring headlines, no huge uproar. Maybe we need some.

Because of who is doing the violence, it must be hushed up. Because as we’ve been told in no uncertain terms, not all lives matter.

What are your stats for white on Asian crime and vice versa? Hushed up? It’s being carried by MSM. You must be one of those under achieving Asians.

Last post was deleted. Same people who are crying about Twitter and FB for censorship do it here.

Many students who don’t have the grades or test scores slide through admissions via legacy, donations, and sports.

Asians are smart, hard-working, and don't blame others for their problems. That is why they outcompete other ethnic groups everywhere they go (including whites, on average).

Anyone with any interest on race at all should listen to "The Economics and Politics of Race" by Thomas Sowell. It is in audible and will make you understand issues of race and economics better than 99% of the population.

There are hundreds of White Libertarian or Republican PhD economists. Why do White Libertarians or Republicans in U.S. feel the need to bring up Sowell to make a point? Thomas Sowell is a phony. No one goes from a revolutionary leftist economist to house n .... sellout for no reason. When Thomas Sowell was a college student and economics PhD candidate, Sowell knew of writings of Milton Friedman. Am a supposed to believe as soon as Sowell wanted to make money, Sowell all of a sudden discovered writings of Milton Friedman?

It is the dream of many Asian woman to marry a tall, well educated white American. This is happening in record numbers. Their children are assimilating nicely into American culture. This will not even be an issue in 40 years.

Maybe yes, maybe no. HIV/AIDS didn't emerge from 1980s LA. That was just the site where it was first identified.

It's hypocritical to post on a thread about Asian-American descrimination if you're going to blame them for the virus and generally use the CCP as a point of reference for all the problems in the world.

Whose blaming Asian-Americans? Many of that population fled the CCP and its deprivations in its satellite countries. Can't you understand the difference between a government, a political organization, a people, and citizenship?

It's the dream of many liberal white women to marry tall athletic black men and have their children check off the minority box to get into good colleges.

This was said 30-40 years ago so it didn’t age well. Probably doesn’t happen too much within the LRC crowd since tall, educated, and marriage material are qualifiers.

There is a fine line. Criticism of the Chinese government bleeds into sinophobia. Much like how the Israeli government receives unsubstantiated criticism and suspicion and can be described as antisemitic. Blaming the Chinese government for the virus without evidence is just thinly disguised prejudice.

Discrimination against Asians is rampant even some/most Ivy League Schools make Asians score higher than other groups to get in. Affirmative Action was supposed to be for Blacks ONLY as a de-facto Reparation for historical injustices, JFK warned having different standards based on race could cause division, but Blacks should be the exception due to the atrocity they went through in History, so it was done by Executive order, now though it has become political and lots of groups get it Example Woman who do better in school than Men anyways, now they are giving it to Gays, even though they may have straight siblings that had The same Upbringing, same schools, same teachers everything yet if both tried to get into schools or a job, the Gay would likely get the position for political reasons which is BS.

We need a TRUE MERITOCRACY in the USA, or all the groups will be resentful of other groups, and it could eventually lead to Balkinization. The Olympic Trials are a True Meritocracy, the top 3 go it does not matter your race, your personality, your past, if you came from wealth or poverty, none of that matters, only who comes in the top 3, and there is no resentment as every one got a fair chance and no one can complain, you can only shake their hand and work harder to try again or try something else, no one can complain, in some cases the best don't make it (Injury, Sickness, Bad Day, ETC.) but since everyone had a fair chance, there is no resentment.

Some groups may be over or under represented (And that is often the case) but because it was fair no one can complain.

The problem with true meritocracy is that it results in stratification of groups of people into socio-economic classes, and certain races are over-represented to a large degree in particular strata. (This is actually exactly what Hernstein and Murray predicted in would happen in The Bell Curve which was published over 25 years ago now).

The problem with Affirmative Action is that it lowers the bar for certain ethnic groups largely to their own detriment as well as society's detriment as Affirmative Action folks end up in positions they're underqualified for. It actually increases the odds of discrimination also because if you know that a black doctor was held to a lower standard than an Asian doctor, why would you ever go to a black doctor instead of an Asian one? You know the Asian one is going to be better (on average) simply because you know they were held to a higher standard.

The government (and society) has tried very, very hard to make all ethnic groups equal and equally represented at all levels of society, but it still hasn't happened despite billions and billions of dollars and decades of effort. Perhaps it might be worth simply accepting reality? If it's not a problem that blacks are overrepresented in the NBA (or that women are overrepresented in nursing for that matter), should it really be a problem that Asians are overrepresented at Yale?

So what's the rationale of white patients who refused to be seen by Asian doctors? They believe Asian doctors are held to a lower standard than white doctors?

The trials is a true meritocracy because competition is held for all at one venue. Imagine if some athletes had to race in 90 degree humidity while others were able to race in 65 degree weather.

There are many poor kids who live in rough public housing and don't have the same access to educational materials, tutoring, enrichment; there are kids who go to tough schools where fire alarms are pulled every few days, where fights take place often, where teachers burn out. These kids (black, brown, white, yellow or green) deserve to get into schools that middle class or rich kids with the same grades wouldn't.

I mean, something like this. What's the rationale?

When Rome became Italy. Italy named after??
