Well, no, that's not even close to true, but you can't be educated.

So now all the variations of conservatism can jump for joy because SCOTUS just put the screws to Affirmative Action. Of course, they're perfectly fine with "legacy" students, and won't DARE touch the military on this (they need that cannon fodder in these volunteer times)!
And the band played on.
Conservatives aren't the only people who think AA needed to be shitcanned.
I won’t argue against that.
But blacks have had AA for decades now.
I’m talking about the present. There’s no question Asian Americans are discriminated against in higher education . Not at all in real life. In fact They tend to have a good reputation for being industrious.
. But Blacks have advantages no one else has .
Well, if you say he is not "educated," what exactly do you consider "educated"?

TDAK and volsrock have to be over the moon happy to have you, Taichiliberal, to use as an example
to justify their blatantly bigoted views on the intelligence of African Americans..
By age six, my children would have understood what I've been trying to get through to you.
The request for was somebody to explain why diversity is an asset to a culture compared to homogeneity.
Explaining what needs to be done to remedy present problems in a nation that's not homogeneous doesn't even BEGIN to address the subject.
One isn't addressing the issue if comparing a hypothetically reformed America to
the present America
and pointing out the improvements.
That's a totally different subject.
One must compare the hypothetically reformed America
to a homogeneous nation
and then explain how having diversity is a social strength.
We will never be a culturally homogeneous nation
so we obviously must learn to do better as a culturally diverse one.
That has not been disputed during the conduct of this discussion.
Still, that does not in any way give us reason to call our diversity an asset.
Calling it an asset requires showing our advantages over homogeneous cultures
which seem to me at least,
to have the solidarity to be more socially progressive than we are.
I wish somebody else would discuss this as you are obviously either unable or more likely, unwilling
to do so,
and I'm not qualified to make the assessment as to whether
you're an idiot or just an asshole.
It's probably safe to narrow it down to those two choices, however.
Not anymore they don't. Unless they want to get shot out of a cannon at a Russian tank. Also, I caution you against saying that Asians aren't discriminated against "at all in real life". You're not Asian; and we minorities are beyond exhausted of white people telling us how we're allowed to feel and what we experience. The nerve is really unbelievable.
In this particular instance, I'm talking about the history of the political parties and where they fell on large social issues. To say that the Democrats are the racist party, always have been, and always will be not only reflects abject historical ignorance, but it's also a blind partisan swipe that could have fallen out of a baby's diaper for all its insight and forethought.

Here in Boston,
we have a female Asian American mayor,
a female African American attorney general,
a white lesbian governor,
and the reputation of being a bigoted city, political blueness not withstanding.
At some point, people have to stop worrying about what other people call them.
The racial animosity that plagued Boston wasn't even about race.
It was about defending neighborhood schools.
We never had de jure segregation.
We had de facto segregation because, like most major cities, we had ethnic neighborhoods.
City kids didn't take school busses, for the most part.
We had schools right in our own neighborhood and walked to them.
I was close enough to my elementary and middle schools to actually walk home for lunch.
Having such an ideal situation was apparently a problem,
because judges thought we needed "diversity" in schools
and instituted bussing kids to other neighborhoods for NO rational reason.
This is what started the divide between making a race an issue or taking a "color blind" approach and saving our neighborhood schools.
The "making race an issue" side won and flamed racial animosity in Boston that simply had not existed before.
If some neighborhood schools needed funding for lack of comparable facilities
and THAT was the problem rectified,
there would have been no major uprising of racial tension in Boston.
It is actually depressing that so many people don't understand this.
Then I guess you could as well say any group is discriminated against. I’m tired of minorities telling me I’m rayciss just because I’m white.
I’m sure you’ve heard of racist white babies.
So after decades of AA they’re finally being considered as equals. You think that’s a bad thing?
That's a nice anecdote about Boston, but it doesn't come close to comprehending racial relations in the US.
Who called you racist? I didn't. What I did was stop telling white people to tell racial minorities how they're allowed to feel just like all the other white assholes we stopped listening to within the past couple of decades.
Equals my ass. Look around this forum. Look at what your people say about us. There is no equal for non-white, non-straight, non-Christian individuals. But we're working on that hard and getting exactly where we need to be.

I can’t remember ever telling any racial minority how they’re allowed to feel.
Nor can I recall any white person telling any minority how they’re supposed to feel.
Sounds like you just don’t like whites in general so you made up some kind of grievance against them.
Oh well, whatever makes you miserable.
Life is good!
I just don’t understand why schools like Harvard feel the need to discriminate against Asians. I like Asians.
Super polite folks to play golf with. Americans as well as the Japanese tourists we get a lot of here in Alaska.
you are an oppressor because you are white,, try to keep up
