The Boston Globe published an uncharacteristically blunt report this week about the Boston public school system and issues involving race. But this tale is very different than other reports where “bad white people” are devaluating the lives of Black and Hispanic attendees. Recent satisfaction surveys conducted among Boston students reveal that Asian American families report some of the least positive interactions between their children and the school staff as well as the other students. Despite almost always being among the top performers in the schools, many of the chil“invisible.” The article features a sophomore at the John D. O’Bryant School of Math and Science named Ngan Huynh. She says that even many months into the school year, she has yet to meet a single teacher who can correctly pronounce her name. And this situation has made her feel isolated and ignored.

East Asians are the new Jews, albeit its worse in 21st century woke/black-racist America.
They will succeed nonetheless.
Asian students are treated like crap and told to sit in the back of the bus because the school officials lavish all their attention on the “important students” in an effort to show that they are not racist.
The difference is Asians are the most populous race in the world (~60% of the worlds population)
Hard working, intelligent students should be rewarded. Lazy, stupid slackers who blame their failures on Whitey should be punished.
The Asians will pick up the best jobs in finance and medical technology and law and hospitals and have the last laugh.
The saddest part..
Is by and large, the Asians (sorry to stereotype here) are the most focused on learning and tend to be the best learners and students.
These kids (ALL focused students) get held back intellectually, content wise and pace wise to cater to the slowest learners.
That assumes we are operating in the meritocracy you and I grew up and lived in. That appears more and more to be a bad assumption.
We’ve got a political issue my friends. Will the GOP leadership recognize such?
Add me to the list, I guess.
Even 30 years ago when I was in college in Boston, pretty much all of the universities there had policies in place to limit the number of Asian students they accepted. It was my first experience with rank, in-your-face racism and it came 100% from the Left.
Which is ironic; but, typical of dimwitted liberal logic considering that Asians are a minority too.
Asians are self motivated and dont need outreach. For this they are neglected, dare I say punished. They ruin the woeful minority cant get ahead, systemic oppression narrative. No question, especially here, where I work in Boston. I live in Quincy, right outside Boston and Asians have transformed this entire city over the last 20 years...from the economy to real estate to culture to education, Asian dominate lol. This is not a slight. Its a testament to their drive. Instead of plummeting the city into a ghetto warzones, these folks take care of business.
White and Asian kids are being openly and deliberately discriminated against and they clearly deserve their own schools where they won’t have to put up with this crap!
Wife was a teacher for 40 years. She never had Việt students in her 1st,2nd grade but most of the other teachers who had Việt students came to her to ask how to pronounce the names. Some of them got it right, even with proper Vietnamese pronunciation. Some were incapable of pronouncing anything with ‘foreign” spelling.
No. It’s not Nung Hwin. The Hwin is okay but Ngan begins with an ng that is pronounced the same way that ng on the end of an English word is said. Depending on the tones which don’t come through in this country Ngan probably means “Swan.”
“Asians” covers several very different races.
I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced Nan Win.
Any word or name with 3 consonants in a row, although common in other languages and cultures, is unpronounceable to English speakers who get tongue tied trying to pronounce the word. The secret is that for the other culture, either one of those consonants is silent in the pronunciation or there is a hidden vowel slipped in there that the English speaker does not know is there.
The refugees of the 80s and early 90s here are now small business owners and skilled tradesmen and managers. 20 years ago they owned or managed most of the convenience stores but have all moved on to better businesses. The small shrimpers who did not come ashore to start businesses now have the most modern shrimpers on the coast with quick-freeze and packaging equipment on board.
