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."

I’m afraid they are setting themselves up for more attacks by complaining.
I’m thinking they are much too busy studying & getting great jobs to mess with CRT.

I’m one of those White Supremacists who married an Asian woman.
“I thought using the term ‘oriental’ was racist. I do know not to mix up Chinese, Korean, or Japanese.”
Well, it does get confusing.
My wife (conservative & 70 yo) wants to be called Oriental.
My daughter (liberal & 36 yo) want to be called Asian.
And besides Chinese, Korean and Japanese, you’d better not mix up Vietnamese, Thai and Philippine. My Vietnamese wife really doesn’t like being mistaken for Philippine.
I already told Berkley Admissions I’m Trans Black.
Apparently Asian Americans have been tossed from the People of Color systemic racism clubhouse by progressives.They are now part of the oppressor class alongside the Great White Satan, Unfortunately, success has a way of doing that to groups when progressives shuffle the skin pigmentation cards to determine winners and losers in their little victimhood game.

They are already being shunted out of consideration in university admissions so as not to make low achievers look bad.
I wonder if this had anything to do with Biden’s mini rant about prejudice against Asians... (Biden’s nasty dig at “neanderthals”?)
