(8,217 posts)Neither have I used the word racist either.
I mentioned the following:
Teachers expect more from us Asians than they do any other ethnicity.
To make the grade in anything that involves matters that are subjective rather than those that have concrete answers, Asians are graded harsher.
In College, unless you are really exceptional they count it against you being Asian to be able to get in.
In job positions, there is a higher job expectations that Asians have to reach to receive comparative treatment, and even then, it really isn't. There is condescension there, where they are treated well for being work horses, but in getting a better position, they are kept where they are at, even if they have been there longer.
The Bamboo ceiling as well has been mentioned, where they cite "Lack of Leadership" potential in getting to top tier positions.
I am sorry, but I don't think so. Ignoring points that have been made that does not have an easy response to does not mean it is not there. It is just willful ignorance.
Well, whatever makes them feel better about themselves I guess.
