Every Supreme Court justice appointed by a Democratic president has upheld race-based school admissions programs in the name of diversity. Democratic administrations have aggressively supported these same programs in court. In California, Democrats have sought repeatedly to overturn Proposition 209, the law that prevents UC Berkeley and UCLA from rescurrecting the use of race as a factor in their admission process. In New York City today, Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio proposes to end the standardized single-test admission system used by magnet schools — because too many Asians do too well on the tests.
Black and Latino students make up nearly two-thirds of the city’s 1.1 million school children. Yet, of the 5,067 offers of admission to specialized schools this year, 51.7 percent went to Asian students and 26.5 percent to white students. Latino and black students received 6.3 and 4.1 percent of the offers, respectively. At Stuyvesant, the most sought-after of the schools, just 10 of the 902 students offered admission were black.
My wife grew up in mainland China so I know a fair number of immigrant Chinese people. The most rabid Trump supporter I know is her best friend, who immigrated here 25 years ago. Most of these folks aren't very involved politically but they do generally dislike Trump.
If you are not white and vote GOP it's a little bit like a roach voting for Raid...you are literally supporting a party that would love it if you just fucked off. But whatever floats their boat.
Far more persuasive is the argument for 'if you're white and vote for Dems', you don't even need to listen for dog-whistles there. They blare it consistently, loud enough to even make a deaf man cover his ears.
Look an account that was a little active in Video Card sub forum that went quiet for a while, suddenly became very interested in video cards again in 2016, then appearently lost interest in video cards and posts mostly pro Trump stuff and divisive stuff to separate people.
Nothing strange about that. Who knows maybe I’m wrong.
as the kids say "wut?"Far more persuasive is the argument for 'if you're white and vote for Dems', you don't even need to listen for dog-whistles there. They blare it consistently, loud enough to even make a deaf man cover his ears.
Welcome to the GOP, Asians!In her post, Carnahan, who was born in South Korea and adopted by Minnesota parents, wrote that “Some (sadly) Republican Party leaders/executive committee members around this state have made racist comments about me, and to me — calling me ‘dragon lady, a ch*nk, a stupid Asian not even born in America’ and other awful racial slurs.”

Welcome to the GOP, Asians!
I think it rather interesting that Asian kids as a demographic are in many instances the beneficiaries of quotas while others in this same group feel they are being discriminated against because of the same policy.
Just say'in.
Do you have any links/stories/articles from reliable sources to back up the bold/underline part?
Hypothetically you could take over the GOP and change it from a bunch of racist ignorant whites to something else.
Aside from the fact that I literally avoid instances where I feel I'm about to get involved in a tit-for-tat where semantics, verbiage, rhetoric, contradictory graphs and charts are laid over each other and bandied about (along with the fact that I'm at work at this time) I do respect your interest in what I posted.
In that light, I'll keep things as tightly packed as possible by saying that what you quoted from my post was what I believe to be common knowledge from decades of having quotas for minorities being employed by (what I also think is common knowledge) the majority of colleges who feel that diversity on the campus is a healthy and rewarding experience, and of recent vintage, partly basing their policies on a USSC decision which originated in Texas where race based admission policies were upheld.
Please by all means correct me if I'm wrong as I'd gladly appreciate being brought up to snuff on this topic of discussion.
......Asian kids as a demographic are in many instances the beneficiaries of quotas....
Egalitarian socialism pimped by the Dems runs anathema to the Asians' belief of meritocracy and hard work that got them to American in the first place. Often they come to this country and are usually successful. As Indus also noted, they are also family-oriented. They are now being discriminated against for being "too smart" by liberal colleges. This screams conservative party for them and the many I know are rejecting the Democrat party for Trump's nationalism, not BS wealth redistribution and egalitarianism.
