Critical race theory (CRT) is a divisive, discriminatory ideology that judges people on the basis of their skin color. It has penetrated our society—it's in federal agencies' and federal contractors' "bias training," in school curricula and many corporations' "diversity training." Few are willing to speak out against it for fear of being labeled racists or white supremacists. Asian Americans, however, have emerged as a powerful voice against this pernicious ideology.
The Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Greater New York (CACAGNY) delivered the most vigorous rejection of CRT yet, calling it "a hateful, divisive, manipulative fraud." CACAGNY is one of the oldest chapters of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance, which was founded in San Francisco in 1895 to respond to nationwide discrimination and violence against Chinese Americans. For more than a century, this organization has helped Asian Americans, especially Chinese Americans, to "quicken the spirit of American patriotism" and to "insure the legal rights of its members." CACAGNY speaks out against CRT now because Asian Americans have experienced its harm firsthand.
According to CRT's victimization ledger, all whites are oppressors, and all "people of color" are oppressed. CRT argues that unequal economic outcomes among different races in our society result from white power and white privilege. Asian Americans punch a big hole in that worldview. As a group, their economic achievement has surpassed that of all other racial groups, including whites. Last year's Department of Labor statistics even showed that the median weekly earnings of Asian women surpassed white men's earnings.
Values drive Asian Americans' economic success. Many believe in education attainment, stable marriages, delayed gratification, hard work and meritocracy. CRT attacks all these as "white" values, and the people who practice them as acting "white."

There have been a spate of hate crimes against Asians all over this country recently.
In New York City, a young man used a box-cutter knife to slash Noel Quintana’s face on a New York subway during the morning commute. Quintana, a 61-year-old Filipino immigrant, was rushed to the hospital, where he received more than 100 stitches.
CRT activists blame white nationalism for these hate crimes against Asian Americans. However, all perpetrators in these cases were non-Asian minorities. Asian Americans are concerned that CRT activists intentionally ignoring this inconvenient truth may result in the government misallocating resources and failing to protect Asian American communities from hate crimes.
Dems: You say that like it's a bad thing.
Critical Race Theory, giant brain sucking sounds follow it wherever it is believed.
Ping.
LOL, Asians are about to find out how Racist they are and why there is so much "Legitimate Anger" directed at them from "poor mistreated" Negroes.
Asian Americans have felt the most harm from CRT in education. Activists claim that teaching math and science perpetuates “white privilege.” They’re more interested in indoctrinating kids with identity politics, intersectionality and race struggles.
In an elementary school in Cupertino, California, where 94 percent of the students are non-white, a math teacher told third-graders in a math class that they live in a white-dominated culture, and had them rank themselves according to their “power and privilege” on an identity map. Asian parents organized a protest, demanding the school stop teaching racism to their children and start teaching actual math instead.
One Chinese-American parent explained that CRT’s emphasis on dividing society into oppressors and oppressed based on skin color reminded him of the bloody class struggle in Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
Asian parents are also alarmed about attempts to change admissions standards for colleges and top high schools at the expense of Asian American children. CRT activists have been pushing for lowering admission standards—or the complete removal of difficult entrance exams—to top high schools because “too many Asians” are in good schools, and Asians are so “over-represented” that these schools are not “diverse.” These were the arguments New York City mayor Bill de Blasio used to eliminate the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test.
He wanted to replace it with a new admissions process based on race, so the student bodies of New York City’s elite public high schools would mirror the city’s overall population composition and not be dominated by Asian kids.
Thank You for the ping!
As post 2 points out, the attacks on Asian Americans are mostly by other non-white, non-Asians. To say it’s White nationalists being the bad guys is inaccurate.
It’s all BS teachings anyway and the words “race theory” proves that out.
I watched the 1975 Vietnamese evacuation up close while assigned to Hickam AFB, Hawaii. They arrived with either a suitcase or a sack. The first generation got on its feet and the second generation went mainstream. There was no special sympathy or programs for them. They just did it. I would like to ask Black apologists how the Vietnamese can do this. I think they would change the subject.
When are these geniuses going to realize that the biggest white oppressor/slave master of all times was Karl Marx?
They should shut the #### up since they vote 80+ percent dem.
You reap just what you sow.
Add to that the fact that very few spoke any English when they arrived in the US, but learned the language as fast as they could.
My wife (Vietnamese) doesn’t like being called Asian; she identifies as oriental. She tells me that Asians are Indians and Pakistanis.
Well, the Vietnamese were not held back by white supremacy. And slavery. They don't have the legacy of slavery that is so debilitating to us. That is why we need reparations, honky mother******.
I thought using the term “oriental” was racist. I do know not to mix up Chinese, Korean, or Japanese.
It’s a pipe dream like getting the Jewish vote other than the orthodox. Asians are not westerners.
I’ve heard apparently Asians don’t vote often because they don’t want to be called for jury duty.
Also, the Asians in my area (I live in a heavily Asian area) don’t really want schools to reopen, interestingly. When surveyed, only 8% of families in the most heavily Asian high school in my district voted to come back to hybrid (2 days/week), while 60% of the majority white high schools did.
White - Asians
And what a ridiculous monicker. “Asian”. There must be 100 ethnicities on Asia.
