I just love the fact that white people totally ignore Asian Americans when talking about affirmative action.
How many Asians scream blood murder when a kid with perfect SAT scores and a 4.0 gets turned down by an Ivy or a UC? Not that many, we know what the game is like (cough “legacy” admissions).
I’ll stereotype here, but the typical “white” response is that “all the Asian kids know about is studying, they don’t do sports and that’s where whites can provide diversity.”
Odd, that’s almost the equivalent argument that blacks and Latinos can toss against whites.
My Dad warned me at my “literally all white” high school. “You have it easy here but don’t forget that you’re competing not against Caucasians for a slot at Yale but against Asians at other schools”. Harsh lesson learned, but in real life, you know what the competition is and who you need to beat out. Just do it.

July 11, 2008 at 12:40 PM #237565AnonymousGuestYou know, this may sound like a rant, but I’m kind of sensitive to this at present. FLU, being a minority yourself, you should know that racism does exist in the workplace. I am not convinced that Rev. Jackson does all he does without concern for the black community just to exploit the situation for his own purposes/gain.
While doing my psychology internship, I got frequent resentful looks from the white trash high-school educated, and soccer moms. It was if they wanted to say, “What is SHE doing in that position??” I’m not stupid, I know resentful, hateful looks when I see them.
One of you want to explain that?

July 11, 2008 at 12:50 PM #237570AnonymousGuestHere I am, highly educated, articulate, I appear bi-racial, BUT you can tell I’m part BLACK, hair longer, silkier than theirs, and these wrinkled, vindiction white bitches have the audacity to resent my presence and authority.
Yes, It’s obvious I don’t appreciate that. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it shouldn’t happen at ALL.
