IMPERIAL WIZARD OF THE KKK AGREES WITH LEFTIST COLLEGE STUDENTS ON SEGREGATION OF THE RACES.

[Chap]

It's a weird phenomenon to me how many people want to say racist things without being called racist. ...

In Britain, the warning that a racist statement is on its way is often the prefatory phrase "I'm not racist, but ...".

Perhaps it’s the same thing that explains the disparate outcomes between Asians and whites, too.

Yeah, how is it possible that Asians would come to the US and have a higher average income than whites given that the overwhelming factor in whether one succeeds or fails is the country's history of systemic white racism and white privilege? For that matter how is it possible that recent black immigrants from Africa have a higher average income than whites as well.

Because many of those immigrants have already achieved critical milestones within their own country before being subjected to any limitations or challenges on the US side.

Immigrants from Asia on average have much higher educational attainment than both all foreign- and U.S.-born adults. In 2019, only 14 percent of immigrant adults from Asia had not completed high school, compared to 26 percent of all immigrants and 8 percent of U.S.-born adults. In contrast, more than half (54 percent) of Asian adults ages 25 and over had a bachelor’s degree or higher in 2019, compared to 33 percent of both total immigrant and U.S.-born adults.

The majority of immigrants from India (79 percent), Taiwan (73 percent), the United Arab Emirates (70 percent), Turkey (61 percent), and Malaysia (60 percent) were college graduates, compared to less than one-quarter of those from Cambodia (19 percent) and Laos (15 percent). In addition, more than half of college-educated immigrants from China, India, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Taiwan, and Turkey had an advanced degree.

And -

“Since 1965, some Asian-American immigrants have come to the U.S. under certain immigration preference categories that favor professional skills and training,” Eliza Noh, an associate professor at California State University, Fullerton, said in an email. “Those groups tend to already have educational training and economic resources, which they invest in their children’s education. Their access to social and economic capital is what fuels academic achievement.”

And yet -

These kinds of statistics have resulted in Asian-Americans being dubbed the “model minority”. Lumping all Asian-Americans into one group contributes to the stereotype that all Asian-Americans are highly educated.

A 2010 report focusing on Asians in California — a state with the highest U.S. Asian population outside of Hawaii — found that expectation to be false. In California, for example, 45 percent of Hmong, 40 percent of Cambodians and Laotians, and one-fifth of Fijians had less than a high school education. The report also found that 20 percent of Pacific Islanders in the state eventually drop out of high school.

It's a privilege that is so ingrained and pervasive that even Russian and Italian immigrants whose ancestors never owned slaves, never went to segregated schools, are still purported to benefit from it just as much as the wicked northwestern European founders of the colonial US by nothing more than the fact that they have a similar level of pigmentation in their skin.

Yes, it can be the case that privilege can exist, at the same time that some immigrants enjoy better success than some non-immigrant whites, and some immigrants do not enjoy better success that some non-immigrant whites.

If the privilege exists, it's certainly not the overwhelming factor that causes disparate outcomes between racial groups. Individual choices have a much larger effect than anyone on this board is willing to admit. But that would require personal responsibility and it's a whole lot more convenient to just blame whitey. It's funny that Asians are the most successful yet nobody seems to scape goat them. No wait, I take that back.

I have never seen data on this, but my bet would be the average white immigrant to china does better than the average Chinese citizen.

Only those working for a foreign corporation in China. Outside of China, Chinese immigrants do not have restrictions on where they may work.

Hi Ajax! You ever heard this song about the KKK and the history of the Democrat party? Some things never change I guess.

Do you believe that it can exist?

So you think privilege is based on skin color?

You watch, in a few years they'll be a college that builds a dorm that houses 100s of students and they'll only allow black students to live there. The PROGRESSIVES will consider it "progress". I'm tellin you, their nuckin futs in the head. Total cult!

You still haven’t told us why some minority students choosing to live in a dorm dedicated to minority students scares you. : D

So many fears are of the 'tip of the sword' kind. You watch...in a few years..." No one will have guns...abortion will be a sacrament...cars will be illegal...we'll live in a fascist vaccine state...

The way to justify a current opposition that seems unreasonable is to paint it as part of a continuum of actions that will inevitably follow. One of the big fears you hear is that vaccination cards will lead to a fascist state. You hear it from members of the same party that wants the voter records of everyone in the state of Pennsylvania. Their paranoia seems remarkably selective.

It could be. There are a few things that it can be based on. And it’s not exclusive to any skin color, depending on circumstances.
