University of Maryland Creates New Racial Category: ‘Students Of Color Minus Asian’ [barf]
Daily Caller ^ | 11/11/2021 | Chrissy Clark

A photo emerged Thursday of a chart comparing freshman admissions rates at the University of Maryland between two categories, “White or Asian students” and “Students of Color minus Asian.”

The photo has the University of Maryland’s logo attached at the bottom. The chart compared admissions and enrollment rates among freshmen in the fall of 2017 to admissions rates in the fall of 2021. The data showed that general admissions have gone up as have average weighted GPAs, according to the chart posted by journalist Christopher Rufo.

The chart classifies students by race, though the university opted to create a new racial category called “Students of Color minus Asian.” Asian students aged 18-24 have the highest nationwide college enrollment rates, averaging approximately 60 percent, according to a 2020 study by the National Center for Education Statistics.

Not Babylon Bee.

Isn’t “minus” part of that racist math stuff?

Where math has only one correct answer even if in a test taken by a person of color and needing to express feelings?

Is this the minus to balance the plus in LGBTQ+ ?
Just askin.’

The Asians that Roosevelt kicks out of their homes and moved to Concentration camps in the desert and were called derogatory names EVERYBODY KNOWS, just five minutes ago, are good in school and therefore are “White Supremacists”

I remember in high school(mostly white) when the honor roll was read and you got to the C’s the joke was it was like someone dropped a bunch of change on the floor. Ching, Chang, Chun...

By pretending (lying) that Asian students are somehow “white,” they are trying to sustain the “systemic racism” narrative by transferring the most academically successful non-white group out of the “people of color” category and lumping them in with whites. Isn’t this a way of “erasing” them?

Some places use “NAM” or “Non-Asian Minority”.

Isn’t this saying the quiet part out loud? Non-whites can succeed based on their merit.

They're being "ethnoshamed". If they don't play along and get low grades like everyone else they will be lumped in with the whities!

How is “Asian” a meaningful category? A Mongolian isn’t the same as a Pakistani. For that matter, how is POC a meaningful category? A Guatemalan isn’t the same as an African. They are going to a lot of trouble when they could just say “non-white,” but I guess they would see that as a problem because it makes “white” as the standard. The thing is that’s what they are doing anyway.

Asians include Indians - the Left is pretending that students who often have darker skin than most American blacks are somehow not “students of color” because they get good grades and mess up the narrative.

I think it was in California where a school board member said that Asians had been assimilated into White supremacy.

Liberals hate success almost as much as they hate freedom. It’s why they despise Israel.
