Why is it, despite Hispanics making up a larger portion of the population, do we not really hear about them carrying out large scale protests or demands? Even outside of their community, when we hear about diversity, they really mean black.


Hispanics are prideful and hard-working. They’ll run a small business with their entire family working, even the kids. It may not be a recipe for vast amounts of wealth, but it’s a recipe for a successful life and valuable skills.
I also feel like large swaths of Hispanics like living in their own enclaves.

It was funny seeing blacks lose their shite on social media about a nearby HS (Robstown) having the mascot Cotton Pickers. They immediately cried racism, never mind the fact that the town and school are about 95% Hispanic and maybe 1% white. The Hispanics embrace their heritage and roots, blacks don’t seem to feel that same sense of pride.

Let everyone be reminded that during WWII, Asian Americans had business seized and were rounded up into detention work camps. And yet somehow they have rebounded without any added incentives from the government into one of the top performing minority groups.

It’s all about the family and work. In a lot of immigrant families, it’s not even two parent households. Their connection with aunts/uncles, cousins, and in-laws creates a unit and everyone plays a part. It allows flexibility for the younger generation to peruse opportunities while also having children. I think after a few generations that will not be as feasible as the kids who enjoy the family support will not sacrifice their own career to raise their grandkids. It’s the recipe for success.

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
"The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light"
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet
Axe
And saw

The only way these LCDs would overtake Asians is with violence

They did get compensation in the 90s.

How about the Jews? They're wildly overrepresented among high income earners and ivy league admissions. Given their history whats the excuse?

The failure to maintain family structure is a problem in all communities.

We will continue to have societal failures as long as we have children being raised by one parent or no parents or only grandparents.




Look at the torchebearers of our dominant culture. They are the antithesis of stability and long term success.

It's been apparent all along that Asians will eventually be grouped in with Caucasian. It's already showing up with recent storied of Asians being removed from "people of color". Don't worry, they'll blame it on Trump for the racial divide. That's their out for everything, blame it on someone else.

Parents were accused of furthering the “Asian supremacy” agenda by making their children work so hard; their children’s achievements were demoralizing African-American and Latino students.


Are they saying the fact Asian students are getting high grades prevents black & Latino kids from doing the same? Like there’s only a finite supply of good grades and the Asians are hogging them all to themselves? Someone help me with their logic here.

As OP knows quite well, CA Asians broke toward Trump vs. 2016, and more so for the GOP in House Seats. The more we see this type of anti-Asian discrimination and racism that comes from the Left, the better for the GOP.

It's classic victimhood mentality. Those Asian kids aren't holding anyone back by doing the best that they can. Maybe instead of whining they should look to emulate their behavior and work ethic?

Around the same time parents at TJ found out race-blind tests were eliminated, members of the Boston Public School system in Massachusetts announced they were going to eliminate academic exams to the school district’s top three schools, including O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science.

Thomas Jefferson spent over 35 years building its reputation as a premier high school. But it only took 12 Democratic members of the Fairfax County School Board only 12 minutes and 11 seconds on Tuesday night, October 6, during an online meeting to kill the school, eliminating its race-blind, merit-based admissions test.


So, school educators have always pushed students to work hard and make god grades, now they don't?

This is the absolute epitome of a "I don't know who needs to hear this." post. Amazing.
They are essentially admitting the Bell Curve Theory is true.
