Did Chinese immigrants wait for an example of a highly successful Chinese immigrant before ‘buying in’ to the notion that they too could be successful?
It seems to me that they were to busy going and BEING successful to wait for a speech by some Chinese success story to inspire them.
Look.
Obama is black, Oprah is black, Rice is black, athletes, scholars, writers, janitors, judges, cops, criminals, priests, millionares, mayors....
The real deal is ALL people are loyal at some level to the group they identify with. It was my hope growing up that educators and people with intellectual and emotional fiduciary responsibility would be above RACE and promote HUMAN students.
Sadly, we know that is not the case. Education is stacked like cordwood with biased, racists, sexist, classist educators.
It is supported by and practically written into the curriculum at every college of education pumping out and re-certifying these teachers. And then they have along to go along with the dogma to get their pensions.
It is a great gig for perpetuating the leftist muck.
