    They don’t lol. Turns out your experiences don’t equate to everyone else’s.

      Given that some things are just facts that are common knowledge in my community, that’s deeply insulting. But fine, if it helps to have it spelled out…

      Asian Americans are People of Color, Too. . .Aren’t They?

      Are those enough, or would you like more sources? My story is hardly difficult to verify, but apparently weirdly controversial.

        You must be pretty far up your own ass if you truly believe you speak for your entire race.

        Two of your sources are opinion pieces. I’m currently reading the other since it’s an actual source.

          It’s about on par with a PoC claiming they suffer from racism and being told to prove it, since their experiences count for nothing. Would you have responded to a black guy the same way?

            I never said your experiences don’t count for anything, but it’s outlandish for you to think that you speak for everyone in your community. Just because YOU weren’t chosen by DEI doesn’t mean that others didn’t get in. Which is why, again, your experiences don’t equate to everyone else.

              Except, according to the stats, the infamous Harvard lawsuit, and pretty much everybody who has ever talked about this topic, we DON’T benefit. The only argument is about why, and whether we ‘deserve’ it.

                Except Asians overwhelmingly have no trouble getting into college. It’s just the asshole classist Asian minorities complaining about getting turned away from Ivy league colleges.

                https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/30/podcasts/the-daily/affirmative-action-scotus.html

                Especially since 70% of Asians support Affirmative Action

                Especially since black ppl make up about 8% of ivy league universities while Asians make up close to 20%

                Also the biggest beneficiaries of AA are white women

                  So are you now advocating that DEI should only benefit specific minorities?

                    Seems to me that DEI already benefits Asians greatly.
