Here’s an interesting screengrab from the University of Maryland breaking down freshman admissions and enrollment by race. The best part is they only needed two categories to do it: you have your students of color (minus Asian) and then white students, including Asians.
It’s a weird phenomenon that we’re sure isn’t limited to the University of Maryland. We told you about San Francisco school board vice president Alison Collins, who is black, tweeting that Asian American students, teachers, and parents are “house n****rs” who use “white supremacist thinking” to assimilate and get ahead. You see, Asian Americans are “white adjacent.”
We're at the point in the discourse when colleges have created the highly scientific and totally legitimate racial category of "Students of Color, minus Asian" pic.twitter.com/3Nzgs6Iszt

When the critical race theorists say that "race is a social construct," they mean that race is a social construct they will manipulate at will to achieve their overarching political goal of ethno-Marxism. They will move groups up or down the oppression hierarchy accordingly.

Actually I thought that’s what the acronym BIPOC was meant to do.

As a “Plus Asian”
I am very interested in the academic definition of race defined by University of Maryland.— 髙多直晴 (@1naonao_oanoan1) November 10, 2021
"FEARLESS IDEAS"
Gonna need an asterisk on that one, guys.

White and Asian people are the same now?

I just informed 3 of my Asian coworkers that they are now white and will be getting the white privilege card and a set of tan dockers in the mail shortly.

To think, at one point people pushed to be seen as more than just a skin color

Back in the 1990s, African American Studies professor Leonard Jeffries came up with his fundamental division of humanity: Ice People vs. Sun People.
College admissions offices could go with that.

It's fascinating how race/gender categories are so popular not because they are relevant, but because the data is so easy to work with. Just collapse or drill down as required to fit your hypothesis.

Asians, the inconvenient minority.

Asians were "white adjacent" for a couple of years. They've been white for about 18 months.

Those successful Asians! Never will understand why sociologists don't study the educational side of Asian culture in detail & then hold up their success as an example. Shouldn't we be looking into WHY they are so successful? I feel like their success is resented.

I have a novel, and ground breaking idea, what if…now hear me out…we simply don't ask questions like race or gender on college applications or job applications from now on. Forcing all applicants for anything be judged solely on their merit?

Clown world.

The Department of Justice was suing Yale for discriminating against Asians in admissions, but the Biden administration dropped that suit within a month of Biden’s inauguration.
