Totally unacceptable and sends a message to any student that isn’t a white man that they don’t matter Fascinating. I would call this another indicator of qualitative change in the cancel phenomenon. "Classic" cancel culture was driven by highly informed activists, who in this case would've known race-agnostic acceptance benefits Asian people and is at best neutral toward white people if not harmful. Today's mobs are obviously not being led by people of the same caliber.

No, this is an intentional misdirection by them. The important motivation is to undermine the influence of the majority white population. In that regard, it is always important to make every other ethnic group a victim and never paint anyone but white people as benefactors of systemic racism. Inconvenient data points, such as the one you describe, are intentionally omitted.

  E.g. In the orignal "Women make 70 cents for every dollar a man makes" gov memo, it was also said that Asian men make 115 cents for every dolar a white man makes. That doesn't fit the narrative so it's just ignored.

    The gap between white and Asian outcomes is due to immigration policies which make it easier for wealthy people to get in. The US imports rich asians who can afford to send their kids to MIT, the rich get richer ect. The gender pay gap is a different issue and doesn’t need to address immigration policy.

      Vietnamese Americans, the descendants of refugees from a war-torn country, make more than White Americans.
