Well, because on average, Asians are more intelligent then whites, who are in turn more intelligent then blacks.
So, for example, when NYC has special schools for the smartest minority of students, these schools end up with mostly Asians and whites.[1] This is racist.

- larrymcp 7y agoI think you mean "than", not "then". "than" is the word that fits in those phrases.
- pravda 7y agoYou are correct! Then = time, than = comparison. Maybe that is why I got downvoted. ;-)
- morpheuskafka 7y agoHow is it racist? The school is for the most intelligent/academically proficient students or whatever its criteria is, and that's how the select them. If that subset of the population is, for argument, 99% white and Asian, it would be suspect if the school was anything but 99% those two. It doesn't matter that the population of the country as a whole is not.
