Hilarious. These propagandists really can't help themselves. "Survive the cultural revolution". Like a billion other chinese? It's funny how the same propaganda sweeps across the media at the same time. I've seen "Survived the cultural revolution" from fox news to the washingtonpost and everything in between.
> "School district officials announced that, as a result of their new admissions system, they slashed the percentage of Asian students admitted to TJ to 54 percent this year from 73 percent last year."
That is dramatic drop but what did they expect? The problem with chinese/asian american population is that they are too small a base to matter. And considering they marry out at extraordinary ( dare I say genocidal rates ), they'll matter even less in the future. In a democracy, numbers matter.
> The American Dream of equal treatment
Since when has equal treatment been part of america or the american dream? Maybe instead of mindlessly memorizing "facts and propaganda", these people should have learned critical thinking. Or the history of natives, africans, mexicans, etc in the US. Or their own history. The history of asian americans has never been that of equal treatment.
If these people are stupid enough to believe "The American Dream of equal treatment" then they deserve what they get. Hard to sympathize with such people.
One thing I do find odd is that the CRT advocates are so intent on increasing black enrollment at a school named after a slave owning white supremacist ( Thomas Jefferson ). Wonder how they square that circle.
