In the current narrative, East Asians are no longer a minority. At best, they're a "model minority" because they do what "white people" say people need to do to be successful. Namely, work your ass off and get a useful degree.

Why aren't White people complaining about the Asian wage gap?

[Azalin]

Here's a novel idea: why not fix the applications so that race isn't a factor, and instead focus on merit?

Because merit is racist.

[Azalin]

 

Because merit is racist.

 

Based on that, then I'm a racist.

[TakeYouToTasker]

 

Based on that, then I'm a racist.

That's the entire point of CRT.

[Azalin]

That's the entire point of CRT.

 

I'll never understand how we, as a society, will ever get beyond race issues if we continually make race a factor in anything.

[DC Tom]

That's the entire point of CRT.

 

Actually, the point of CRT is that Western empiricism is oppressive as it deemphasizes feelings. Thus, actions become racist because a person feels they're racist, no matter if race factored in to the action or not.

 

"Merit" being racist is just a side effect - even a clearly merit-based process that obviously doesn't take race in to consideration is racist under CRT if it makes someone feel discriminated against. Whether they actually were or not. It's also why there's no such thing as "reverse racism" - whitey doesn't feel oppressed, so whatever you do to whitey can't possibly be racist (and conversely, whitey whining about "reverse racism" makes blacks feel oppressed, hence is racist.)

Not factoring race into everything is racist.

 

But then, so is making race a factor in everything.

 

I just oppress everyone now. It's easier.

You're over thinking what I said.

 

I was refining CRT down to it's most basic elements: it's purpose is to create victim status, and thereby privilege, by manufacturing racism where none exists. That the purpose of CRT is to make Azalin (and the rest of we cis gendered, white, heterosexual males) a racist.

You're oversimplifying CRT. It's "purpose" isn't to create a victim class or manufacture racism. It's purpose is - literally - to interject race into every topic. It's basic premise is that even in the complete absence of racism, societal codes and constraints are inherently discriminatory, hence everything is racist.

Every pursuit has an end purpose. For CRT it is to grant special privilege to certain groups, CRT is the tool invented to create this outcome.

Because if you did that, it would take longer to elect a black president.

Asians are my favourite racist© group because they are racist® against other Asians. Koreans don't like Japanese, Japanese don't like Chinese, Chinese don't like Southeast Asians. Indians and Pakistani's don't like each other. And none of the other Asian groups likes Phillipinos. A Phillipino friend of mine told me that his people are the Mexicans of Asia

That's right, and most of them don't like or at least mistrust the round eye.

IVY LEAGUE RACISM UPDATE: The “Asian Problem” Won’t Go Away:

 

 

“The Asian problem” continues to be a thorn in the side of the diversity bureaucracy that runs America’s elite college campuses. The Wall Street Journal reports on the latest efforts by Asian-Americans to convince the authorities that affirmative action—at least as currently practiced—is essentially a repackaged form of anti-Asian discrimination, the successor to academia’s infamous anti-Jewish bias of the early-to-mid 20th century. . . .

This conflict will probably persist as long as affirmative action does (and with Justice Scalia’s passing, it seems unlikely that the Supreme Court will deal the body-blow to racial preferences that many admissions offices feared) because affirmative action partisans don’t have a clear or consistent answer to the Asian students’ concerns

. Is affirmative action designed to give a boost to groups of people who have faced discrimination in the United States? Surely this applies to Asians as much as Hispanics. Is affirmative action designed to increase ethnic diversity? It’s unclear why Asian-Americans contribute less to the diversity project than other racial minorities. Is the apparent bias against academically qualified Asian applicants simply the result of a neutral “holistic” process that evaluates students on the basis of nebulous character traits? That is, of course, the precise justification Ivy League schools used to cap Jewish enrollment.

The core problem, as Dennis Safran has pointed out, is that the logic of affirmative action that applied in “the essentially biracial society of the 1970s” has become strained to the point of breaking in “the multiracial America of 2016,” where the number of identity groups with claims to marginalized status has multiplied, and where class status increasingly rivals racial status as a determinant of academic and professional success.

In the long run, however, the vituperative wars about the role of race in admissions probably distract from more important injustices in the higher education system. Prohibitive tuition costs—driven up by federal regulations, short-sighted student loan programs, and, to some extent, and campus diversity bureaucracies—probably present more of an obstacle to the Ivory Tower than race-based admissions policies for the vast majority of students. And degrees from the Ivy League still carry far too much cultural cachet, delivering special opportunities to their graduates not because of their talents but because of their access to elite social networks.
