There are actually QUITE A FEW ASIANS in this country, and I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that many of them are happy about getting pushed aside so that unqualified blacks and Hispanics can take their place.
In a country with a FUNCTIONAL opposition party (i.e., Republicans), these Asians would be looked at as a potential source of a large number of votes. In fact, a FUNCTIONAL opposition party would be doing things to attract these people, like finding some people that speak Asian, getting involved in their organizations, etc.
But we do not have a FUNCTIONAL opposition party - instead we have an opposition party single-focused on destroying the Tea Party. And so the Democrats still own the Asian, strictly due to how they’re perceived on immigration.
Agreed, this is the problem. The Democrats passionately believe in destructive policies, and the Republicans don’t believe in anything.
“Extracurricular activities” as a measure of worth for a student are heavily stacked towards the well-off.
Poor Asian kids are far more likely to be studying or working outside school than playing basketball or volunteering.
I find it especially intriguing that there has apparently been zero conservative objection to the considerable Asian displacement of whites in these schools. Putting a serious dent in the complacent assumption by liberals that our devotion to standards and merit is based on racial solidarity.
