Asian American Students
Are Discriminated
Highly
respected mainstream national media can't stomach it
anymore. So much facts have emerged suggesting
discrimination against AsAm students. They began to publish articles
openly point to the stench. These came out last November.
The Atlantic Monthly Spoke up too
(4) Its title is "Do
diversity indirectly discriminate against Asian Americans?"
Read the excerpts:
"While discrimination by colleges is hardly a new controversy, . . . For rejected applicants of Asian descent, race often appears to be a key factor. . . . at a national gathering in 2002, hight school guidance counselors from across the country expresses concerns about how Asians were being treated in the application process, . . . The panel was . . entitled, "Too Asian?" These perception can have negative consequences. One is . . . Another is that the fear of self-identifying as Asian has in some cases even correlated with poor mental health . . . lower elf-esteem and high stress . . ."The poor kids," she (Casey J Pedrick, Stuyvesant director of college counseling) added sympathetically. "They're just looking for an explanation for why their achievements have't been rewarded."
Look at the
face below, shown at the end of the article! Could she easily be our
daughter or granddaughter! Do we care at all?
How Can WE Stomach it?
Here is my
list of Asian Am groups that should rise and act, but have not.
Our elected
officials at the state-wide or national level: They went to
sleep. None ever spoke up on this topic.
Our "civil
rights" activists in DC, NY and LA: They repeatedly told
the nation's federal courts "We love the current college admission
policy, whether it discriminates against our best students or not."
Our rich
and powerful, gave tens of millions to Harvard & other Ivy
League schools, but not even a single
million to an AsAm org. which perceived
discrimination and wants to fight it in 2 courts -- the courts of legal justice
and the court of public opinion.
80-20's Solemn Promise to You
When SELF reaches its
goal of raising $1 million per year for 5 years, 80-20 shall allocate
$100,000 to call for a NATIONAL CONFERENCE of AsAm leaders.
We'll invite leaders in the above 3
categories, dialogue with them and UNITE them
to fight against the DISCRIMINATION against
our best students with us. UNITED we shall overcome! For now,
80-20 is the only power on your side.
Don't stomach it. Show courage & determination!
