Two questions:

1. Why aren't Asian-Americans considered a minority?

2. What is she suing for? What damages?..Does she want to be admitted? Or force the UT Bookstore to buy back all her Longhorn gear?

#1 - Because they excel in schooling and don’t blame whitey.

///
THAT is the $64,000 question !!!

that, is the elephant in the room.
along with the fact that crime rates for Asians,
are lowest of all.

...kind of destroys 99% of the left’s “minority” arguments.

Asians are actually discriminated AGAINST because they are “over-represented” in college admissions.

"1. Why aren't Asian-Americans considered a minority?"

If Asian-American's SAT scores were lumped in with Black's and Latino's scores, minority SAT scores might be equal to or higher than majority SAT scores. (I think the PC term is now "underrepresented minority" to distinguish Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans from those dull, uninteresting, overperforming "overrepresented minorities".) This doesn't fit in at all with the beliefs and goals of PC university admissions committees.

“1. Why aren’t Asian-Americans considered a minority?”

I recently had the opportunity to attend a high school graduation.

The valedictorian plus the next 9 top students were announced because they all received full-scholarships to major universities.

The valedictorian and the top 5 behind her were all Asian females. The 7th was Asian male.

They were follwed by a Caucasian male, a Caucasian female and an African-American female.

Does that answer your question?

In other words, they blow everyone else out of the water so that there is no need to call them “minority”.

This isn’t an isolated case. It happens across the country with the same results.

Impossible. Longhorn gear is priceless. And it's called the University Co-op.
