People are blaming Asians for having extra benefits while in fact Asians are just working harder than any other races. The jealousy from those people is outrageous.
I’m feel so validated for once. In schools I’ve been to we don’t talk about racism against Asians ever. In fact I hear racist/ prejudice/ or disrriminatinatory things about Asians and Chinese people everyday and majority of the time no one even thinks that they’re saying anything that’s wrong
Thank you for bringing that out.
We Chinese are strong enough as individuals to succeed under adverse situation.
Sometimes I do feel sorry that other Asians are lumped together with us Chinese, except Japanese and Koreans.
Being an asian in Brazil, people think the prejudice is just non existent and asians here are relatively silent compared to US (or in other words, we kinda accept cause nobody thinks it's racism).
Then one day in my college days, my friend questioned me saying he never saw any racism against asians in his life... So we are both going back home, walking up the street to the station and I was having some melon popsicle when suddenly a guy just yelled "BLOW IT JAPANESE" (it makes sence in Portuguese though, "Chupa Japonês" and it's offensive). Only after that the friend looked at me and said, "Yeah, it really happens".
People don't see it untill we actually say them and it happens when they're near us to notice it themselves.
As an Asian American, I always knew and felt this. I just factored this in when I applied to college and grad school. This is nothing new and it won't change unless we make some noise, Harvard lawsuit aside.
Racism? Nothing new and just another day. We work through and around it.
Asians are the superior race.
Well you could always apply to universities to get to where you'll be in the position to help your own race forward.
@Tracchofyre lol thanks bro, love being asian.
Tracchofyre actually my cousin is working on it right now, although I like the idea of a time machine
Tracchofyre yeah thats not how that works, we have a higher general populace intelligence or whatever because we just happen to work harder than most to intellectually stimulate ourselves and apply ourselves more in academics. This isnt a race thing anyway, the only reason you or any other random human on the planet have differing grades is because one has better work ethic thats literally it
The random shots of everyone on their phones lol
I think they were asked to be on their phones. They're looking at things with the #soc119
I thought all schools prohibit phones in the classroom. In my school you can be expelled for this.
@@tanzanable It's different in university. Some profs don't care at all if you're on your phone.
@@tanzanable expelled for using a phone? Thats a bit extreme lol. They take them away in grade school, maaybe in-school-suspension if youre an ass about it.
In university it depends on the professor's rules/syllabus but im sure this guy doesnt care lol
@@gloriouspurpose_ - Teachers want the student's complete attention without any distractions so cellphones are incompatible with classrooms. They are considered to be rude to the teacher and to other students. Repeated violations result in expulsions (3 offenses).
God bless him.. he's a brave soul. He has my full respect.
Mike The kite , true. Brave man.
Do Asians kids ever get their test score tossed out as an outlier when grades are based on a curve. I remember one teacher tossed out 3 Asian kids scores because they got 100% plus the extra credit question on a test. The next highest score was 74%. So the Asian kids with the 110% got an A and the the kids with 74% to 68% also got an A or A-.
Oddly when I was in college every Asian kid I knew had something like this happen to them at one point. Wonder how common this really is?
Albert1492 I think that’s common in HS because, if they don’t, White kids will end up with lower GPAs. The only semi-justifiable way to prevent that would be to treat Asian scores as outliers.
This professor needs an honorary Asian award. As an Asian, I approve.
Despite faced with the facts , this class shows a tremendous amount of disinterest or apathy.
Thus, it is a uphill battle for Asians who must "fight" back and respond to let their voices be heard and felt.
Fight the Stereotype:
"There's always an Asian who is smarter than you and will take your job".
Asian students are litigating Harvard because of what the prof described.
I hope the Asian students win!!!! They deserve it. Regardless of their race/gender, they worked damn hard to get here. Those students are well-rounded.
@ATL 1 i hate people who say never or cant when it hasnt even happened even a probability at a 1% chance is still a possibility
@ATL 1 0% chance as in you can see the future or you are the judge? Harvard isnt deciding the case its the jury or the judge and harvard cant say we dont want asians in our schools cause we want more whites or blacks if they do they lose?
The case can easily be won by the students if they can prove Harvard set a much higher standard for asian students by looking at application scores and current students scored and if theres a massive disparity then there is definately a chance they can win
@ATL 1 although if u did learn abit of law in college theres many ways of phrasing how to put a defence and harvard have the best lawyers in the world so even if the students can prove discrimination they still might lose because of a technicality
@ATL 1 i hope you can give a better response rather than a generalising sweeping statement
this guy is so aware and awake.
oka HE WOKE , DUDE ...
Now if only he knew that jews made up the most disproportionate numbers of people enrolled at elite colleges despite also being objectively the most privileged then he would be omega woke.
not really. he's only touching this on the surface... test scores are not everything and thats the only thing asians like to use to say they are being "discriminated against"
@braindead loser say what you want lol im right
mike school sounds like white fragility to racism being called out to me lmao.
Asians are middle child in the race discrimination. The media only focus on blacks and hispanic, ignore Asian discrimination.
Yeah but Asian discriminated other Asian too, especially to southeast asian
The students who are looking at their phones or acting like they couldn't care less do not deserve to sit in that classroom.
Because Asians are not black, Latino, gay, or muslims
I don't understand this obsession with the phone out in public. Like don't you kids get enough of that at home ?
@@bulidrians2182 This is how most US colleges are lol they are just adult daycare centers these days.
bruh they just asian people, they know they are better than everyone
The Chinese Exclusion Act never ended... it just changed.
The irony is, by putting these weights on asians, they’re only going to become smarter, more efficient, more emotionally resilient, and harder working over time. Using sports as an analogy, imagine if group A of athletes needed to meet higher physical standards than group B to play in the same league. Is group B really benefiting from this “advantage”?
Ability and power is not equal.
My dad was discriminated when he used to work for a white owned machining company. Most likely his pay was way under than other whites. Plus his retirement money is most likely at a minimum level than other white privilege Americans. I have a friend who's dad was a machinist as well, lives in a decent two story house. My dad lives in a shitty one story house.
I doubt anything will change in the future even if he tries so hard to open people's eyes, just look at the students... they have absolutely no interest whatsoever for the topic and instead they're all looking at their phones. They are our future, they are the ones capable of changing the status quo, yet they have not a single bit of respect for what the professor is saying. I wonder where it did go all wrong.
Because they're in the "in school" mindstate. All of these classes are for getting grades and passing. The part of their minds that would accept this information and apply it in the "real world" is shut off. I believe that information only broadens ones view if there's no "pressure" attached to it e.g: Grades and deadlines because it becomes part of their progressing lives and not part of their student lives.. Then again this is just some of the many theories I have.
I've said this 25 years ago and I will say it again, the testing and the application to higher education process is absolutely stupid. I am Asian and I will allow a person who scores lower than me but who's mother and father died, who was raised up on welfare foster homes, who worked since 13years old, who lives in a zip code with the highest homicide and crime rate, and who preserver through all that hardship to go before me. But to allow someone who has been 6th generation, high earning parents, never needed to work in their life, solid family structure, prestigious upper zip code and much lower grade scores to pass me is just ludicrous. The Education school should base their criteria on a more holistic scoring system. They must account perseverance, will, achievements base on opportunities or lack of them, conformity, innovation and absolutely economic background for Public Higher Educational Systems.
If the students were thinking they would spot the obvious flaws in his argument and errors in his historical narrative. Affirmative action was implemented at a time when there were few Asians entering university and before the Asian wave of immigration. And before Asians became the most wealthy cultural group in society. So to argue the system is there to protect whites from Asians is simply false.
The system was developed to aid disadvantaged groups, most notably people of colour, and economically disadvantaged groups. This is exactly the opposite of what the professor is stating. The issue with Asians also being negatively affected by affirmative action (not just whites) has really only arisen in recent times as Asian and especially Chinese people have entered society and the pool of applicants - and gotten rich. It is an unintended side-effect of the system.
But in the liberal-progressive worldview there is only ever one explanation for everything: oppression. It is a dangerously shallow narrative, one that discourages questioning or dissent. It also prevents genuine analysis and the generation of feasible solutions. It just divides society and generates resentment.
@@marcusTanthony Ofcourse it started as good intent when JFK enacted Affirmative Action in 61... but with everything that starts out good, like a child, a house, a car if there is no care or upkeep then it's neglect. The negative effect for Asians started in the early 80s already.... it's been 35 years so no it's not what you call "recent times". As a matter of fact, some may have a case that Affirmative Action as a whole has an opposite effect. Ask yourself, why are Asians achieving at such a high test score level? You may say culture? Well, some will tell you that it is human nature to push harder when odds are against you, when the system is against you and you are not only given nothing but things are taken away from you just because of your skin. Perseverance and hope is the strongest human drive. I give you another case where 1st Generation immigrants work hard, saves and builds a strong foundation. The 2nd Generation sees the hard work, builds on what he/she sees through their parents and succeeds financially 10 folds. Then by the 3rd or 4th generation, it all goes to hell. Those are examples of being hand fed vs being hungry. The biggest factor we should all agree on is economics and perseverance against all odds. Higher education schools should focus more on interviews, social communication strengths, motivation, optimism, energy/spirit, economic adversity, leadership skills, real life experiences, etc. This is why when someone asks me where are the best Universities? I tell them if it's in California then go private. If you want public, go East Coast. None of these have political and social issues that become huge distractions to education.
@@DxModel219 - I'm shocked that you would discriminate against a better qualified applicant just because he lives in a nice house and neighborhood and has successful parents! It's not his fault that his parents are smart and worked hard to achieve more than others. Why blame him for his parents' success? This is very offensive!
Equal representation = discrimination against people who can do better.
Equality vs Freedom
nope. Equal representation = diversity.
@@mike112693 Diversity is entirely unimportant. The best applicants should always get the job. The student with the highest score should receive the most accolades. Deciding these things in any way other than merit is discriminatory.
@@ShadeDraws deciding those things based on merit would be nice if everyone was given the same opportunities and assistance to achieve those merits, but that's not the case. Everyone has a different background.
Agree ....forced representation is against meritocracy. Asian foreign students despite having less previlaged background and paying more fees, will be a second class. It only makes them stronger. Asian students are in US schools due to higher standards and not having enough good facilities back home.
On the flip side, this arrangement is needed to avoid civil unrest. Else, the American kids go in bad ways. Besides American citizens are the tax payers (State funded schools).
It's clear discrimination! The problem is that the schools are too race conscious. I don't care what race someone is! Just give numbers to applicants so that the admissions folks can't know what their race is. If we end up with more asians or more blacks, etc. - so what? It really doesn't matter! Look at people as individuals, not as members of a particular race.
tanzanable You are naive. Your suggestion would result in fewer black and Latino entries. What this professor fails to say
@@marcusTanthony - We don't know for sure. Black and Latino students are just as smart as Asians or any other race. If they can't beat out the Asians right now on test scores and grades, they will if they have to in order to earn their way into the college of their choice. MLK taught us not to judge people by the color of their skin.
@@marcusTanthony - 1905 graduates were much more capable than today's graduates. It doesn't matter what race people are. Fairness demands that we admit only the best and brightest. Those who don't achieve as much as others and fail to win a spot in college are better off in many ways! Not everybody enjoys book learning. Many folks are happier and achieve great success without a degree. Blue collar careers are sometimes much more lucrative than jobs that college folks tend to go into. We need to stop all this crazy social engineering with its associated favoritism and racism.
@@marcusTanthony so you're saying it's ok Asians get screwed for another minority group when Asians had nothing to do with the reason why black and Hispanic kids don't get a chance from systemic racism?? You're suggesting systemic racism towards another minority is ok to better another resulting from the same?? That doesn't make ANY sense... Everyone has a text book. Everyone has access to public education. Keep it fair. This is wrong
ohdaUtube No.
Part of the problem is asians (I'm korean) are told to not complain against the system/leaders/rules. We are taught rather to understand the expectations and match them with our own efforts. We know we need to get a higher score than other ethnicities to be accepted and aren't happy with it but accept it and put the extra time in to succeed. (I know I dont represent all asians)
Good luck Prof. You're fighting against the conditioning these students have to fight their cognitive dissonance with 'they deserve it' and 'it's justice' rhetoric. These non-sequitur rationalizations serve as a nice relief valve that lets people move on to the other important things in their lives such as status climbing. Woe to the student who tries to make the case that not all asians are the same despite similar non-white sounding names and that our socio-economic span is quite vast from poverty to affluent. The Vietnamese 2nd gen who's family came here literally with the shirt on their backs has an unfair starting line nearer the goal that needs to be corrected because - last name. That student that makes the point is ostracized as a racist or alt-right, conservative or whatever nom du jour is acting as a dog whistle.
Honestly I don't think this will ever change. For example if the college just take students purely based on the test score, mostly likely the asian kids will be much more. Guess what happens next? People from other races starts whining: Oh how can you take that many asian kids to the best colleges, it's so unfair! It's racism!
As an asian, I was grown up being taught: if you want to get respect from others, you should work hard. Until you have enough skill/strength as a man/woman in a society, you don't really care what other people think about you. If they talk shit about you, whatever, I already had enough skill to survive.
This applies to people from anywhere, any race, any religion. While we are thinking about other's nationality/race/religion, why don't we just be ourself.
He should talk about the Korean FRuit Boycott of the 1990's in Brooklyn, NY which was an incredible example of Anti-Asian Violence by Blacks. If Whites had done what the Blacks had done to the Asians in Brooklyn and New York during the Period, it would have made World Wide News and it would have been in all History Textbooks. Instead, very few people remember this event and this event and other events of Racism done by Blacks against other groups not just Asains like Jews and other Whites are not talked about.
If you watch the lectueres, the teacher knows they're on phones because they're asked by the teacher to answer in some type of group chat for the class specifically. Smart teacher to make students voice their opinions or answers or votes through technology because its easier to speak through text than by voice. However it may be bad if there's not enough social speaking practice, but he's clever
1970 living in Downey Ca ,it was Japanese and Chinese which where my Asian brothers , we protected ourself and shared our culture. I ate asian food and they ate Mexican food. Today Los Angeles is a fusion of food. It’s better then hot dogs and hamburgers. Latino Asian.
were bonded by rice lol
Frank Martinez 💚
I have been sharing this information with people and other asians, but it's tough to convince them of reality and facts. But having a white guy say the same thing, asians and others believe it better...bizarre isn't it.
well it's actually understandable. I'm female and I'm a feminist. People definitely are actually more willing to listen to a male feminist, since he is more likely to be unbiased about this.
@@lunaqiu2594 i definitely don't think so. It's just because of the conditioning in the media and also the lack of understand of asians of western culture. Asians don't realize that western speak first with confidence without or before doing with high percentage of bs. Asians are more humble and speak in confidence after actual doing. So asian women don't know the difference and think it's the same credibility as their asian fathers and men speak. Without being knowledgeable about actual western culture emphasis on first impression based on bs.
@teofilo i think you're referring to the power to bs... culture of good impression and story telling and feeling generator... that's why, workers are doers.. mostly non whites are doers.... whites say more than doing
They know. They just play dumb because it make them looked bad. Just like most racist who said they aren't racist.
Not only are we discriminated against by schools but also by the media, and the political left. The left was the group that drummed up identity and gender politics. Also the proponent of affirmative action. We, Asians DON'T even have representation in films and are often criticized/bullied. We are often quiet because we just play the GAME the best to our abilities.
Asian need to score higher for applicants.
Normal people : "It's discrimination!"
Asian : "Challenge accepted."
natas reficul so freaking true lmao. Don’t beg for justice and equality, fight for it and prove that they need you!
Dude dresses like Filthy Frank, immediate support from me.
I'm curious. Why do you support someone who doesn't think their audience is worth dressing up for, not even a little bit?
@@magistrumartium Sometimes you gotta realize, some people just don't care about what you wear or how unkempt you wear it. If he was in a speedo suit or any other ridiculous innaproriate outfit, maybe I'd say otherwise but I digress.
@@notsalt9640 I already realize that you don't care. I just don't understand the attitude. what are you, a teenager?
@@magistrumartium if you already realized that, then it means you already answered your own question so congratulations you took a joke seriously. And on the point of asking if I'm a teenager; really?
What are you trying to do? Diminish my "argument" by brushing it aside with a half-assed assumption? And even if you were right that I was a teenager, what are you doing arguing with one on the internet? Not busy today at work?
Clearly, you're here to argue - unreasonably, at that. And I know already from your own response that you won't agree with me and I clearly won't with you. So to save us all a pointless argument - on the internet of all things, mind you. I'll just send you off with saying this; I just think the man dresses like a character on CZcams by coincidence and I just wanted to make a quick joke.
@@notsalt9640 Who's arguing? I'm trying to understand, What's the appeal of a professor who dresses like a slob? But now that you've explained you were only joking, I'm satisfied. Thank you.
Imagine if NBA decides to apply the the same rules to promote diversity?
As an Asian Canadian, major props. Seriously major props to the prof. Good dude
feelsbadman so many people are ignoring him because they refuse to accept what reality really is
You know it's a sad closed minded world when people are judged by something they can't control like race, & not character. I respect humans who don't play victim but work hard in whatever they do that contributes to a better world.
What a shame for the people in the class who had a chance to listen to this incredible man but did not ugh
Some people are saying Asians cards are being played by the right wing to demolish the affirmative action....So what’s the strategy by the left wing in response? I want to know
haoru chen What does right or left have to do with allowing dumb students into university?
Chuck M it really shouldn’t right?
Thank you for being very transparent! The corporate world is even worse!
I have seen America how Asians were treated for past 40 years... they are described alway get any benefit at the short end of everything work place or school were treated by other Americans
???
What?
I am so glad that there is a class like this. There is a big problem in the US for minorities. These are incidents that people experience yet are brushed to the side and people act like it never happens. If we continue to let it go on there will be no change.
I was talking about this 40 yrs ago and called a bad person,everyone hated me for it!
0:39 that guy at bottom left is like "I can sleep in this class cuz I already know what's going to be on the test".
wow...that is deep ..
If you are Asian and you are in an elite college, you KNOW you are better than all them fools around you. Don't be afraid to speak up! Raise UP!
Just as racist
@braindead loser no worries, little mikey here is helping me prove my point.
@braindead loser that's another wrong assumption...a lot of competent kids get denied. anyways, the poster didnt use the word 'competent'. he said 'better', so that's what i'm going off of
Since we are not living in utopia.... As of now there is no other solution but institute some positive discrimination like this I suppose....
@braindead loser ok lol thats not whats being talked about here. Fact remains that asians that go to elite colleges are not better than their non asian colleagues and ones that dont get in. Simple minded ppl like you and @Laggie can't argue against that. You just think higher scores means you'll be better in society.
when I interview people for a job , I default asian are the best among similar education and experience background candidates.
R Co it’s becz of cultural background. Immigrant parents start out usually very poor and want their kids to be the best possible(successful) so they dont have to suffer like them. So that’s why many Asians are ambitious to provide for their parents and sometimes even live out their parents’ dreams. They are pressured, but they grow up in this kind of upbringing.
So a lot of Asians are deemed smart, but they are actually just hard workers. When there’s a lot of the same immigrant parents, their children turn out to grow up with similar values. Go to the best college, go get the best job (ex lawyer, doctor, it expert).
People are afraid of Asians representing their college, so they say it’s all for diversity. Many immigrants are poor, not rich. Their futures depend on their college acceptance letter, at least to the parents. The disappointment they face if they don’t get to a good college is truly devastating. Some will even commit suicide because all their lives, they studied and studied and worked and worked for that one college acceptance letter.
So if asian teenagers who worked their butts off are rejected based on the so-called term “diversity”, I wouldn’t say it’s exactly fair. But I don’t think you should think of Asians as the best either unless you know their cultural background and values. Some Asians are not as ambitious as they seem on paper. :)
make sure their personality is passable to go along with any work ethics they have. Usually us asians have the stereotype to have both high work ethics and smarts but not all do, so please be careful cuz when they're bad...they're RLY RLY bad.
You are not doing a favor to your employees if you selectively choose Asians. No offense to anyone but my experience tells me that Asians are not team players, they stick to themselves, speak in their language, they wouldn't talk to you unless you are white and they work crazy hours which affects other workers who would work the required hours. Avoid at all any company that employs more Asian workers. There is no work life balance at all.
every jermy lin score in NBA counts as 4!
Awesome!!! Love this discussion
The amount of disinterest on some of the students faces got me feeling a bit angry. They dont deserve to be in that room.
I am curious as to how these stats were taken. From my personal experience my Asian friends and I are all trying to go into engineering. Since engineering in general is such a competitive major, higher test scores and a higher caliber of student are the norm. So I wonder if these stats accounted for that factor and how the stats would be affected if they didn't account for this.
It is a discrimination against Asian... because they’re too smart?
Curiousity has me wondering how this breaks down into east Asians, west Asians, etc. Like, does this affect Chinese and Japanese Americans the same way it affects Indian Americans or Pakistani Americans? How has this shifted post-9/11 when many west Asian groups, brown Asian people, were targetted by Islamaphobia (because having brown skin gets conflated with being a Muslim - e.g. American Sihks got targetted with a spike of post-9/11 hate crimes; Puar, J: 2008). Asian covers such a large and varied group of people that I want to know more.
However moral of the story if you are not studying sciences,finance,math,computer science, medicine, becoming a lawyer, engineer university is a waste of financial resources and all the information you are seeking is online.
What are the "progressives" saying about this discrimination?
Does anyone else think it should be an equal playing field for all. The best applicant should get the position. Period.
Obviously white nationalist far right idea to use the word equality in anyway other than it's new meaning. Lower the bar for the successful to provide equality of outcome to hobos.
Damn, this man speak THE TRUTH!! I missed judged him before
@Blade Runner because in the past the man probably heard something going against his poltical ideas and now since he's hearing something supporting his ideas hes all of a sudden a genius to him.
Affirmative action was an important thing, but seemingly as it's needed less and less it's being implemented more and more to the extent that it's now counter productive.
This is so true... I don't mind if it's harmless... but it's extremely harmful...
So its 2020, has anything changed?
dropped out of michigan for the echochamber sellout attitude it projected form 2011-2015 as it turned into a leftist cesspool by my senior year.
Proud to be a pennstate student now with professors like these!
Even with this awful discrimination in the US, Asian families on average make more income than most minorities and have the smallest amount of single parenthood rates. This is a culture of important values based on education and family that we’re reared on.
Well said.
These kids on their phones are irritating. If they don’t want to be there, they can just leave.
-Sent from my iPhone in class.
The professor is right. I got straight A and B on my classes but my gpa is only 2.4 which is really bad. When I check my classmates report card, they be failing 3 or 4 classes but when I check their gpa, they got like 3.5 or 3.9 like wtf. The discrimination is just unreal.
How is that possible? How is it that your class grades don't translate to your GPA? It should literally be the average of your class grades.
Love that sarcasm looool
Erase legacy status and the problem is solved. Rich white legacy kids are our barriers, not other minorities.
A selective definition of racism is itself racist.
Brilliant
did this man get fired for this? wouldnt be surprising.
Do Americans go to school in China? What's it like for them there?
Yes, they do, just search on CZcams, some Americans do that.
This is the problem with modern day 'equality' which is equality of outcomes.
Chop down people who worked hard and raise the stupid/lazy people so that everyone is one the same level just coz 'equality'.
Remember this, when you hire a doctor......or whomever you need to fix something for you.
Or create the tech that you're currently using.
Are the black and Latino community more outraged (is that the right term?) for Asians than their own circumstances given Asians experience a higher degree of discrimination? Or is that an offensive question to ask? From Australia here, so I don't fully appreciate the context.
Charity equals wronging one group of people to benefit another group. There is no free lunch and there is no charity free of loss of opportunity both go hand in hand. Charity for one group is loss of opportunity for another group.
Black and Latino students signed up this "Race and Culture" (SOC119) class to learn black/latino oppression. How dare the professor flipped the table?
Five O he was being sarcastic dumbass
What he is saying isn't wrong in a sense it is basically equal outcome vs equal opportunity. The thing about affirmative action is its a quick fix to a symptom of unequal opportunity through equal outcomes hence segregating admissions by race and if this furthers by "gender" as well. The system is not really wrong on a short term basis because providing equal outcome temporarily can act a a catalyst in theory for those educated individuals to give back to their communities and thin the gap of equal opportunity. However as a long term solution I don't know if it is that effective and the real issue is lack equal educational infrastructure.
If you can't beat them. You breed with them. :)
I think that most colleges strive to be inclusive of all races, and as a result of that, discriminates against Asian-Americans. Asian-Americans score higher on the SAT, and as a result of that, they only take the best of those Asian students, then take the best of the white students, and so on... This makes the school seem very diverse, but it also makes it so that your race could be a key deciding factor in whether or not you get into that school. That's a problem, and race should have no influence whatsoever on if you get into college or not.
It is true. But I would rather spend time developing myself to higher success than trying to convince people that I am a victim. That mentality is probably the reason why I make more money than almost everyone here.
Great professor of culture
Thank you sir. It's so much effective if an elite and educated white guy says these things. As Asians, we see these throughout our lives but can't say it since no one will (or pretend no to) believe us, in school, at work and virtually everywhere. Don't you think America will be better off if most playing fields are leveled off. Too bad, that will take years or perhaps generations. Nevertheless, thanks for this video. It is an eye-opener for those in the dark or those electing not to notice them.
Here in 2020! Let me tell you, I remember seeing discrimination against Asians first hand at Oregon State University back in the mid 1980's at least a couple times. The guy was in line for some kind of application, I forgot for what, & the person taking the applications was an old white woman, & this woman told the guy to stand aside & took the next person in line, a white person. The guy was slightly confused. I was not aware that this was prejudice/discriminatory until in hindsight. Prejudice & discrimination against Asians is real & there was no other reason he was taken aside or passed over. I believe she took him next, but why was he passed over in the first place? Yes, it couldn't have been anything else. Oregon itself is known to be one of the US states that still garners such behavior. Maybe it's lesser now compared to 35 years ago, but it's still there. It is such a shame & IRONY that the first peoples on this continent going back 25 thousand years & more were most likely rooted from Asia (native American DNA research has proven it) & when Europeans took over beginning in A.D. 1492, they discriminate against these colored peoples that were the original home owners of America. Iirc, in Mormon (LDS) theology, some say that native Americans are descendants that came off the boat migration to American 2600 years ago from the MIddle East, meaning some of those on the boat were of Asian ethnicity. At least that was what I recall.
Thank you for sharing what you witnessed. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Why is equal good?
In the west we've chosen to not be a meritocracy because that would be racist ... so why the surprise ? We've closed our eyes to natures inequalities and rigged the end results because anything that contradicts the cultural marxist dogma that we are all equal triggers us into needing a safe space where we can curl up with a comfort blanket and sob ourselves to sleep.
The info from 5:50 is from 2012 and is outdated.
What's the new number, I'm curious?
And this is happening in a country that is the champion of democracy? Freedom? Human rights?
YESSSS!!! I LOVE THIS!~!!!!!!!
Well they aren’t the newest immigrants, the very first Asian contact was before Columbus.
As a Chinese person I acknowledge that Asians are often prejudiced or racist ourselves. I don’t know if this this more so than other ethnic groups .
Simon Bento happens everywhere man. British don’t like Spaniards and viceversa.. Indians want to kill Bangladeshi though they are the same pretty much, Haitians fight with Dominicans etc etc.. and yes I have seen Chinese talking shit about Koreans, Filipinos etc. A former boss of mine who was a Chinese immigrant was livid when she found out her daughter was dating a Korean American. She told the whole team how disappointing it was for her.. lol
No asians ever speak up on asian issues. Smh
Too busy kicking ass, earning money, and reaching goals to complain
I'm pretty vocal. But believe you me, it is not taken well.
Austin So true, if only I was really smart to ignore the issues too😂
We have more important things to deal with. Playing victim will get you nowhere. Look at the blacks.
All America cares about is the black vs white. Asians break the white privilege argument. The actual odds are stacked against Asians but there is nobody complaining, and somehow manage to still be the most affluent ethnicity.
Ugh this is disgusting. What these ppl are doing to all of our kids . My child is white/ Hispanic . This is so wrong . If you work hard you deserve to be there . Thank this man for speaking out!
These policies also essentially call Blacks and Hispanics stupid, and lets in dumber Blacks and Hispanics, who get humiliated intellectually by people who got there through sheer grit and who HAD to score higher and then this perpetuates the stereotype of dumb Blacks and lazy Hispanics, which promotes racism against the people who actually get picked on merit. If one group is discriminated against, the whole group suffers. And then the whole situation is redirected and obscured by the media, who use racial tensions to distract and divide the people of America. Treat your fellow people with respect. Don't fall for this hatred machine.
what is this?
There should be affirmitive action in basketball,baseball ,track,football,soccer and all other sports!
These accommodations are ironically in proportion to the results on intelligence tests.
Larry Elder who I have so much respect for cites a study that asked different ethnic groups (white, blacks, hispanics, asians) who they thought was the most racist. All ethnic groups said they thought blacks were the most racist, even black people. Getting old.
Keep your head down while working harder than your peers is the only safe path to success and our parents knew it
It’s hard developing the social skills needed to be confrontational and masculine after years of being conditioned to obey and be wary of how you’re presenting (because you represent more than yourself)
That’s every sector. Look at what they did to Jeremy Lin.
He's still playing in the league ya dumb dumb
education has nothing to do with discrimeination . you have to work hard to get good marks in exam and asians works hard.
let me guess, asians do not express any prejudice towards anyone else, right?
It’s because we study to much and they know it . Now if we had a 140 higher SAT score and a wicked jump shot and still got denied I’d be pissed. If Ivy leagues were 90% Asian the Basketball team would suck.
Reverse discrimination at its best
It's not reverse discrimination, this is just regular discrimination.
please dont use that dumb 'reverse' term.
At least he is trying
Just like China being oppresed as a country, but it's not necessarily bad if we put it into history. China is forced to have the most complete industry system, which means that when China one day takes over the highland of High-tech, it can produce any products right in the country with all substances got domestically. Oppression is actually a gift. Same for Asians. They are forced to work better and disadvantaged by stereotypes. But when more and more Asians take the crucial positions, other groups will change. Those bad stereotypes can become advantages that empower the Asians who are already better than anyone else.
Affirmative action where it really counts. In government and media......Oh no we cant have any of that.
I don't know about how other black people feel about being referred to as ''BLACKS'' but it doesn't sit well with me. When white people or other non-black groups here in South Africa call my people ''blacks'', kinda reminds me of apartheid because that's how the white minority would refer to us, not ''black people'' or ''indigenous Africans'' but ''Blacks''. Omitting the word ''people'' was LOWKEY a way of denying us our humanity. I know it's not meant to be offensive nor whoever refers to us as ''Blacks'' means
any harm but saying ''Black people'', ''African Americans'', or ''People of African descent'' shouldn't be that difficult.
I agree!
Asians are discriminated against because they proved themselves very successful economically and still finally and don't want or need condescending pandering as other minorites. Inner cities should take them as an example.
