It's funny how Asians are so successful that colleges are actively purposefully discriminating against them in favor of black students, but the left still says systemic oppression primarily affects black people.
Yup. This is totally because Asians are superior and not at all that "Asia" has a population of at least half of the entire human population and is bound to over represent in the western world due to immigration.
There's far less asians in the US than black people. This argument is utterly stupid. Also I never said anything about them being superior.
jfc that's not how it works. The world demographic of Asians dwarfs that of Africans so there will be a disproportionately larger amount of successful Asians that excel in school. It does not mean in general Asians are so successful if out of 1,000,000 immigrants 600,000 are Asian, and only 100,000 are Africans. And that's not even including the fact that many Asian countries are more developed than African countries so more Asians have the opportunity to immigrate than Africans making the ratio even more skewed.
The systematic oppression thing he was talking about only applies to the US though.
I don't care about the "systematic oppression". I was just addressing the stereotype that Asians are more successful in school.
Asia (including the Middle East) remains, however, the top source continent of recent immigrants. In 2016, the majority (61.8%) of newcomers were born in Asia.
If most of your immigrants are Asian, and considering the fact that immigration from around the world is a major life decision so many of those families will have more pressure to do well then It's easy to get the false impression that Asians are generally more successful when ignoring the massive population they came from and that you may be looking at a biased sample size.
As for the systematic oppression, yeah it makes sense. If 60% Asians immigrate every year its fair to favor demographics that are underrepresented because they are less competitive just by numbers alone. And if that is left unchecked, education by ethnicity will be skewed for Asians because there are only X universities, but more and more Asians are coming over.
It's not a stereotype that Asians are more successful in school, it's an objective fact. ---
