Well, guess they are getting a little taste of what it’s like to be a WASP male in today’s society.
I know it sucks, but maybe now more of them will vote Republican next election as a result.
I’m “Hispanic” and feel the same way about the left-wing Hispanic-American group.
On a side note, most people think I am Italian! Kinda funny.
I’m seeing more and more Asian kids with “white” names, like John and David. Smart parents, doing their best to mask them.
I know one student that was denied admission to the University of Maryland. She had to go to Montgomery Community College for a year. I never understood why this happened since her G.P.A. was extremely high and she did super well on her SAT’s. Many of her white and black friends got admitted to Maryland with a much less G.P.A. and SAT score (I forgot to mention she is Asian). This type of discrimination (and I will call it that since admittance is being denied based on race rather than true merit) now has me wondering about my youngest daughter (adopted from China). Should she check “other” rather than Asian?! Shouldn’t she be admitted to a university based on her merit rather than her race?
Perhaps? This is a backhanded admission of discrimination against whites too, but don't wait for any special article about that.
Stephen Hsu, a professor of physics at the University of Oregon and an outspoken critic of current admission practices, laments that Asians seem strangely accepting of the unfair treatment of their children.
It would be un-PC if anybody lamented that whites "seem strangely accepting of the unfair treatment of their children."
A last name of Hu or Chu doesn’t provide a clue?
Do we still have affirmative action for certain ethnic groups? There is a strong case that WASP males have become the underclass in America and definitely underrepresented in Ivy League and Harvard. We need a box for them as a means to determine exactly how much underrepresented.
When you buy a gun, you have to — have to — list your race. What loathsome race-mongering.
My great aunt was Asian—a White (as opposed to Red) Russian born and raised in China.
ping
who has it worse asian males or females?
i also suppose that the high rate of asian-white intermarriage will solve this.
In big round numbers, Asian kids need 100 SAT points more than white kids to get into a top-drawer undergrad program.
And white kids need **hundreds** of points more than hispanic or black kids.
I leave the race blocks blank. If I am pressed to answer I check the `other` block and write in `human`
I have two half-Japanese daughters. I check ‘other’ and let the state do the research themselves.
I never fail list myself as one!
I have a Jewish friend who is descended from Aaron, whose story is told in the book of Exodus. Aaron, in turn, was descended from Abraham. Aaron was born in Egypt, and Abraham was born in Asia, so my friend can call himself an Asian-American or an African-American.
Yep, it’s a dilemma, all right.
Asian American families tend to be more close-knit and more supportive than others, and Asian American students tend to study harder than anyone else and, accordingly, get better grades than anyone else - clearly not fair.
The only solution, in modern America, is to handicap these people to make room for those who don’t study, don’t give a r*t’s ass, and contribute little or nothing to campus life, while taking much.
That, after all, is the new American way.
There is one way to keep racism alive, and that is to continue to treat “race” a largely artificial distinction based on physical features as relevant.
The only way to kill it is to prohibit the government, from recording or acknowledging anyone’s “race”, period.
Therefore I would suggest the following amendment to the United States Constitution:
“Neither the United States, nor the several states, nor any territory or federal district under the authority thereof, nor any agent, agency, corporation, or other entity operating under the authority of the executive, legislative, or judicial branches of the United States, the several states, or any territory or federal district shall make any distinction in law regarding the race, ethnicity, or ancestry of any person inhabiting the United States or any territory, federal district, or any other land under the authority thereof.
The officer, agent, or agency authorized by the Congress to carry out the enumeration of the population of the United States authorized by this constitution may ask questions in such enumeration regarding race or ancestry, but the answers to such questions may only be referenced for purposes of scientific research. Their use for any other purpose shall be prohibited by law.
This article shall not be so interpreted as to question the legal authority of any Indian Tribe as recognized by law prior to the first day of January in the year two-thousand one-hundred.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation, provided that the penalty for a violation shall be a fine of not less than one million dollars and not less than ten years imprisonment.”
