When I was a teenager (and that was a long time ago) I wanted to apply for a job at Sears department store. A family member already worked there - she asked in the HR department about open positions. Her friend in HR asked “Is ransomnote white?” My sister said “well, yeah” and the HR person shook her head and said “no, we are required to hire a diverse applicant” and that there was no point in my applying for work there.
As I understand it - Asians in the US have the hardest ‘racial’ time getting into college because their demographic is considered ‘over represented’ and therefore their applications tend to be passed over for ‘less fortunate’ minorities and...whites.
One of my best buds is Asian. Filipino to be exact, and he’s right-wing. Even though he has a better chance of getting in by checking the “Asia/Island Pacific” race box, he doesn’t. He wanted to get into the course based solely on his grades.
And what pisses him off is that nowadays, you “have” to speak Spanish in L.A. to get a job and he doesn’t. He actually does NOT want to learn because his logic is that “if these mexican libs keep harping about MULTI-CULTURALISM’ then shouldn’t they ALSO learn Filipino? MULTI means MANY. Why are we the ones bending over to these burrito-eating jackholes?” He part-times at the Conservative Club for Growth.
I doubt less fortunate whites get a leg up on anyone when it comes to university admissions.
