They can try to do what every other European immigrant did in order to become white, but they will not succeed because of harsh geopolitical truths (the cold war with China and the resultant rise in Sinophobia). Going "I'm not Chinese I'm Korean" will not save them.
All valid points for sure but for me personally criticizing a community that I am not part of that also faces discrimination (even if to a different degree) is just not something I’m comfortable with. I never want to give ammo or affirmation to fascists.
I don't understand why they don't switch to zip code instead? Would basically be admissions gerrymandering at that point and we all know how that's allowed lol
As I understand it, the University of California system (where AA was abolished via a statewide vote in 2020) has basically switched to using economic background.
Yeah. The main issue being that poverty and race, while correlated, aren't perfect reflections of each other.
Add on top of that the UC system's funding woes and increased focus on out-of-state (and international) students to fill funding gaps and there you go.
conservative asian americans are such spineless lapdogs of whiteness it's disgusting
they're capable of celebrating AA getting repealed because it only indirectly benefits them, as they're too cowardly to push for a direct, maximalist solution to the academic achievement discrepancy. this aversion to actual change is partially because they want in on that juicy juicy whiteness that derives from hating blacks and partially because actually demanding something from this country implies that their delusion of a bootstraps meritocratic america no longer holds any water.
boba liberals are even less complicated, they support AA because they see the good whites doing it and monkey see monkey do
dengism was a total wash for the chinese people, these diaspora types should never have been allowed to leave
Its asian people too, im disgusted by the rich chinese i know celebrating this. God forbid your kid goes to a non elite school scumbags
Some are undoubtedly wrong on this but Asian Americans face discrimination of their own

Especially re: crime
How many Vincent Chins have to die before the Asian American community can take a hint?

LOL is that a thing? It's like when Americans in Europe lie and say they're Canadian to avoid being harassed? That's hilarious.

Sort of like how we have

Because it would mean the universities would have to openly admit that neoliberalism is a fraud
