DEMOCRATS VOTE TO CONTINUE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST ASIANS
Powerline ^ | 04/23/2021 | John Hinderaker

With race the topic du jour, it is odd that more attention isn’t being paid to the most obvious discrimination in our society: that against Asians. While employers commonly engage in such discrimination, the most viciously discriminatory organizations in our society are universities. Thus, Senate Republicans offered an amendment to the new “COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act” that would have ended federal funding of universities that discriminate against Asian American applicants. The amendment, sponsored by Ted Cruz and John Kennedy, was narrowly defeated by Senate Democrats. Aaron Ginn comments:

Senate DemocRATs including Hirono (D-HI) vote against this to prohibit federal funding for any institution of higher education that discriminates against Asian Americans in recruitment, applicant review, or admissions.

Waaaahhh. Asians vote overwhelmingly Democratic, as to be expected from non-western people in general. I also don’t care about university quotas, as is white gentiles have been a minority at Ivy League schools for several decades.

China is noticing the “Affirmative Action” against Chinese Americans, and they are justified in their anger.

China and her people are enemies of the US, so let them pound rice.

We were friendly with Japan, until Congress passed the Immigration Act in 1924, which limited Japanese Immigration to the US, this greatly angered the Japanese, and was a factor in the rise of the militarists, and with it, well you know what eventually came.

I have zero problem with Asian Americans it’s the FOREIGN Asians that take American students seats in our universities, often paying in CASH along with all of the other foreigners doing the same.
American colleges should be for Americans ONLY.

at least that’s the Way i see it.
Stop training the Chinese on how to take us over..

The Chinese government is the enemy of the American government—the deplorables in both societies have no quarrel.

I think you know that.

Exactly—good post.

It is just stupid to alienate powerful countries when unnecessary.

Affirmative action is stupid.

You can’t fix stupid.

True, but on the other hand, why did the Japanese think they had the right to dictate our Immigration policy?

This is the reason for the barrage of antiAsian hate propaganda being pushed as narrative.

Asian parents see their kids being locked out of universities after they’ve worked hard their whole lives to get in.

The Democrats only strategy to not lose support is the race card.

Chinese culture and western culture go together like oil and water. That doesn’t mean that either of us are “bad people.” The Chinese people are an extension of their government. Haven’t we learned from our interventions in non-western countries that they can never be whitewashed “honorary westerners?” I am sick of this Cold War era propaganda that “every human being wants to be us.”

China has never forgiven The West for The Opium Wars.

Those foreign Asians along with all other foreigners pay full freight to the University and as such, the Universities WANT foreign students because of that.

I got that info. directly from the Dean of WIU, where my own son attended until he graduated in 2019 Magna Cum Laude. Son was in the highest honors program the University had and all us parents met the Dean personally. He was great that way.

My daughter is an American citizen adopted from China... she deserves to be treated justly... but because she is Asian she has to perform better than others just to have an equal shot at college admissions...

It’s racism... that simple.
