[quote=sdrealtor]Whoever said life was fair besides a kindergarten teacher?
And Asians have been here just as long. My hypothesis applies more to a person than a race. Once that family has been here a few generations those differences in social networks as a means of getting ahead seem to even out quite a bit. I think your kids are on the cusp of that. An example would be you were likely driven to succeed through education alone by your parents and may not have participated in lots of youth sports leagues. I’m sure your weekends are consumed with kids soccer when growing up yours likely weren’t. Maybe they were but I think you’ll get my point[/quote]
Again, 100% agree. Being an immigrant, I know and experienced firsthand the statement of “life’s not fair”. I don’t expect life to be fair. I teach my kids that life is not fair, and you will have people making it hard for them. There’s no point in dwelling on things that you can’t control and work on things that you can (your mindset and perseverance). You can’t change how people think about you, but you can work twice as hard as the next person.
I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of all the people who make these policy decisions to make “life fair”, only to end up hurting Asians even more than if they do nothing. That’s my main gripe. Stop proposing discriminating policy to solve discrimination. Policies in government, schools, and businesses. I’ve seen them all.
