From the New York Times news section:
Justice Dept. Says Yale Discriminates. Here’s What Students Think.
The Trump administration’s charge that the university discriminates against Asian-American applicants was disputed by many Asian-American students and others.
By Anemona Hartocollis and Giulia McDonnell Nieto del Rio
Aug. 14, 2020
Updated 8:13 p.m. ETWhen Siddarth Shankar applied to Yale in 2017, he did not hesitate to identify himself as Asian-American, and wrote about how visiting family members in conflict-ridden Kashmir had shaped his worldview.
He did not expect to get in, because he knew he had tough competition as a student at a public high school in the affluent Washington suburb of McLean, Va., where most students were either white or, like him, Asian-American, and many apply to the Ivy League. But he was admitted.
Now he sees the Trump administration’s accusation that Yale discriminated against Asian-American and white applicants, leveled against the university by the Justice Department’s civil rights division on Thursday, as unfathomable and divisive.
… Yale students widely criticized the administration’s finding, which came two years after a complaint was filed against the university by a group called the Asian American Coalition for Education…
“When I talk to my Asian-American friends, this is not what we wanted,” said Alec Dai, a Yale senior from New York City whose parents immigrated from Guangzhou, China. “It’s not like people on campus were asking for this kind of justice that doesn’t exist.”
This Asian Yale student went on to say, “Maybe some of my ex-friends who didn’t get into Yale think Yale discriminates, but I don’t talk to those losers anymore. I have much higher-class Yale Man friends to talk to now.”

I mean if you cant trust shidrar shanker who can you trust ?
When prodded further he said, ^ I love the bangladeshis.”
This indicates that Siddarth indeed may have benefited from his ancestry and family history in gaining admission to Yale.
If he is from Kashmir, would he be Hindu or Muslim?
What does Ron Unz think of all this?
These sorts of articles have been floating around for a good 30 years (at least) and are pretty cliche at this point. I can remember this sort of article appearing in the student newspaper when I was an undergrad, for god’s sake! And it reappears every four years, once one group has moved on and a new cohort has taken their place. “I was really against affirmative action in high school but now that I’m ensconced in the Ivy League I realize it has a lot of merits.”
Of course the undergraduate population is not homogeneous: some still oppose affirmative action. For example people applying to med/law school are still against affirmative action (although they generally keep it to themselves.) But once they get in (if they get in) they think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Once you’re in, the net effect of affirmative action is to make your degree even more exclusive.
Sort of like being in favor of legalizing all drugs because it will make the sober even more valuable; but the junkies stay dysfunctional longer than you can enjoy the added solvency of sobriety.
Interviewing the Asian students who did get into Yale is surely the most unbiased, objective, disinterested, impartial, equitable, and just all-around-fair way of getting totally trustworthy and authoritative takes on this ruling.
Too bad not every upper-middle-class Asian-American kid has relatives in Kashmir they can visit as fodder for a Victim Narrative admissions essay.
Articles like this one are undisguised trolling at this point.
Once you’re in, obviously your incentives change. Who do you want for your competition? A bunch of high scoring Asians? Or some affirmative action admittees to make up the bottom half of the grade curve?
Gentleman's A's all around.

Siddarth may be Buddhist or Hindu. Shankar is a Hindu name. Indian Kashmir has Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims. Pakistani Kashmir is Muslim.

Meaning here’s some replies we have carefully curated to prove we are right about everything.
>Asians
>First guy is named Siddarth
Sigh.
>When Siddarth Nahasapidapedlam applied, he didn’t let anyone know that he was Asian.
Sighing intensifies.

Just read that Biden repeated third grade. Has there ever been a president who was held back in grade school ?
I recently finished reading a book on Japan’s war against China during the 30’s before WWII proper had gotten kicked off. Americans have had a long quasi-love affair with the Chinese, and so Japan’s pre-War depredations generated quite a bit of negative publicity in the U.S. among both intelligentsia and general public. Hemingway and his wife at the time toured the Nationalist-held parts of China but did not come away more sympathetic as a result, largely thanks to the almost medieval levels of grinding poverty they encountered among the common people. I can’t help think this must also have played a role in making 1940’s State Dept. China hands more sympathetic to Mao and the Communists than they otherwise should have been. Why involve yourself in the struggle for a free China if it’s only to bring back the same bastards who created and then callously sustained such massive human misery in the first place?
Another anecdote from a different war- at great effort and expense the U.S. Army tried to replicate its own gleaming new air mobile (helicopter) forces among the soldiers of South Vietnam. And yet what happened when these elite troops met their first trial by fire?- they dropped their rifles and then proceeded to use their helicopters as a means to extort money from civilians wanting to flee the fire zone.
Which is to say such grasping, corrupt, bereft of any social solidarity/I-got-mine-sucks-to-you behavior among the nation of high-IQ peasants demographic is about as old as General Tso’s orange chicken recipe (not that American whites are much better).
Yup. A relative of mine served in a Superfortress unit during WWII. Some of the stories he told me were astonishing. The guys in that unit Iiterally travelled around the world by the time they got home.
I have a copy of the "unit book" that officers would put together when they got back. When I look through the book it's like things hadn't changed much in rural Chine for about 500 years.
It turns out the Bangor, Maine public library scanned a copy of this unit book. The webpage includes the book's Dedication under the description in the listing; it's quite moving.

Most Asians support AA because they are major beneficiaries of it in the workplace, small business loans etc. That monetary compensation makes discrimination at Ivies less of an issue if you can go to a “public Ivy” like Berkeley/UVA/UW/UMich instead.

“ Most Asians support AA because they are major beneficiaries of it in the workplace, small business loans etc. ”
Chinese in California and NY are very opposed to AA, as they are harmed the most by it.
I don’t think businesses under 50 employees do AA other than (1) required by local governments (2) required by larger corporations, of which Wal-Mart is an especially bad actor (3) they do PR work. All in that might be 10% of small businesses.
As for minority business loans, they certainly should be abolished. But if you think that is a factor in the success of asian small businesses, tell me how big the program is per year.
Indians dominate cheap motels because they work hard and use their chain migrating relatives as cheap labor, not because of minority business loans. And really, this is America, the private sector is not exactly stingy with loans.
How can this be legal?
But if you interview black Yale students they will surely say that Yale discriminates against them.

You have to be pretty dense or very immature to be held back and forced to repeat a grade. However, Biden is both dense and immature. Considering how goofy he is, I can’t imagine what he must have been like as a third grader.
Has this story been verified?
Ammonia Horticulture (my daily microaggression) wrote both the news story on this that followed the initial Reuters piece as well as this story, which reads more like an op-ed. It’s like the news department has set up a separate op-ed branch to compete with the real op-ed department.
Successful asians don’t want to be around too many other asians. Diminishes the brand. They want to be the chosen asian. To hell with the rest of them.
I used to be in the headhunting business. I young Chinese lady turned down a job I had arranged for her because when she went to visit the hiring manager she saw a room full of Chinese. No thanks she said. In her mind the job was low status because the department was full of Chinese.
Told me her job was basically to import yuge numbers of H1Bs from India. Project managers from, get this, Nigeria.

The remedy is obvious: Stop all government activity that involves a consideration of race, including especially all affirmative action and all anti-discrimination enforcement. End all subsidies to universities, including especially all support for student loans. Allow universities, as well as all private individuals, organizations and companies, to “discriminate” as they please.
“Yale University is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful university I’ve ever known in my life.”
Med school, grad school, job…they’ll all be swimming against affirmative action until the day they retire.
Is it just me, or a lot of these journalists and pundits in the NYT have strange or unusual names? Or are they pseudonyms, or are they trolling us? It’s not the first time I notice this, usually if it’s not an obvious Jewish name (Goldfeld, etc) it’s an unusual name. Anemona is nice, but why not Amoeba?
Is it trolling if you really believe the bs you’re writing?
Or in the harbor:
I knew a legacy Yalie who was miserable because she couldn’t get a decent job despite having a Yale degree. It seems actual talent still matters in some walks of real life. Her mistake was not setting her sights on government service or big finance and instead trying to go into tech with no real aptitude for tech, figuring a Yale degree would be golden there too.
The girl in the clip is ridiculous but doesn’t realise it. Is it that easy to inculcate young women into cults?
Group think is powerful, in-group preference is powerful, etc.
It’s irritating to see some of the most privileged people on the planet (young, affluent Americans from mostly decent upbringings) getting bent out of shape over minor indignities such as “microagressions”.

Funny that the NYT didn’t have an Asian-American contribute to writing the article regarding Asians at Yale.

One was how Germany (i.e. Hitler)- needing any ally it could get- supported the Nationalist Chinese through most of the 30’s, right until the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis finally came together. This went as far as sending military advisers and military supplies- on Wikipedia you can find photos of Nationalist Chinese troops wearing stormtrooper-style stahlhelm’s.

Keep in mind that this is the NYT reporting. Their purpose here is to separate the Asians from the whites, which is why they are only printing the opinions of a few carefully selected Asians. That way, they can make the claim in the future that this issue is only among bitter whites who hate diversity and that there is not really a problem.
Why would they take that angle? Simple: They have become an anti-white publication and having Asians and whites standing in solidarity on an issue is not a pattern that they would like see repeated on the future. It complicates the vilification. Also, Orange Man Bad!
I guess lumping the most obvious Anti-White discrimination with that allegedly against Asians (though I don't see it) is supposed to give his big orange behind some cover.
This is a waste of time; his and ours. Asians know what time it is and Whites are the American Dalits. They will not want to be lumped with them in any discrimination suit.
The only thing Trump has going for him with Whites right now is the antics of BLM and Antifa, if that. The Republicans are the same de-balled feckless wonders they have always been and the only defense left against the batshit crazy Democrat left.
IF Whites come out to vote it will depend on which party can scare them more into voting their way; either way it does not advance them one iota.

Oh, I will. At Buffalo Joe’s, for pasta.
(Haven’t seen Jefferson here in awhile, but if it’s OK with Joe, we can invite him. I’m not Italian, but our home neighborhood was, and some of it rubbed off.)
But if the tent’s a-rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’.
Millard Fillmore was taught in a one-room schoolhouse by his future wife. She founded the White House library. Don’t write off her smarts.
There is no bottom half of the grade curve at Yale.
Gentleman’s A’s all around.
Where do they find these people?

You know, Asians who actually get into Yale definitely ain’t dumb. I’m sure they are self-aware enough to know how they could have lost their shot via affirmative action. (The males anyway; the broads are much more likely to be true-believer SJWs.) But when the Grey Lady comes knocking to ask you to profess your fealty to la regle du jeu, what are you gonna do, tell the truth like an idjit?
Problem here is that the corruption of AA drags the whole place down more than this added exclusivity.
Sort of like being in favor of legalizing all drugs because it will make the sober even more valuable; but the junkies stay dysfunctional longer than you can enjoy the added solvency of sobriety.

Why would they take that angle? Simple: They have become an anti-white publication and having Asians and whites standing in solidarity on an issue is not a pattern that they would like see repeated on the future. It complicates the vilification. Also, Orange Man Bad!Replies: @Clytemnestra
My thoughts exactly. NYT is blocking Trump’s last ditch effort to make a dog-whistle appeal to the White Base he threw under the bus after they swept him into the Oval Office. He did it a little too brown by encouraging his justice department to persecute even the most harmless Pro White activists and tweeted impotently about “monitoring the situation” as his own White supporters were deplatformed and banned from the internet.
I guess lumping the most obvious Anti-White discrimination with that allegedly against Asians (though I don’t see it) is supposed to give his big orange behind some cover.
This is a waste of time; his and ours. Asians know what time it is and Whites are the American Dalits. They will not want to be lumped with them in any discrimination suit.
The only thing Trump has going for him with Whites right now is the antics of BLM and Antifa, if that. The Republicans are the same de-balled feckless wonders they have always been and the only defense left against the batshit crazy Democrat left.
IF Whites come out to vote it will depend on which party can scare them more into voting their way; either way it does not advance them one iota.
The Troy-Parsippany area is totally overrun with Pajeets.Replies: @Jane Plain
Pajeets I know about; the Nigerian project manager boom I did not.
Wow. And that passes for meritocratic excellence today.
For sure the guy needs a course in ethics.
Nature is woke too. Sad. Very sad.
It’s irritating to see some of the most privileged people on the planet (young, affluent Americans from mostly decent upbringings) getting bent out of shape over minor indignities such as “microagressions”. What will these people do when life actually gets hard as it does for everyone, eventually? She’s at Yale, why not have a sense of gratitude and see it as a massive opportunity and gobble up all the knowledge, social contacts, etc. that it has to offer? Snowflake indeed.Replies: @Menes
Germany and Austria say ‘such a thing’ about the Nazi flag. As do Russia and France. And a number of other countries in Europe. They banned Hitler’s banner:

Hitler wanted to do to the slavs what was done to native americans (genocide and land grab) and black americans (enslavement). Would that be an atrocity in your book or not?
#1619 Hannah Nicole Jones is laying down the law: White-adjacent uppity Asians better remember that Blacks take priority:https://twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1294412586356793345https://twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1294011155636199431https://twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1294263294178594816https://twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1294264054815563776https://twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1294409114114830342Replies: @anon, @The Wild Geese Howard, @Menes
Racially (since it is all about race with guys), east and southeast asians (the great majority of asian-americans) are “native american-adjacent” not white-adjacent.

Take away legacy, sports and athletics based admissions and whites would already be less than 25% at Stanford and the Ivy League. Just search for Lacrosse teams in Google Images for example. Or Swimming teams. Or Skiing teams. Or Ice Curling teams. Or….
That’s not how Blacks see it……
This is about an (Asian) Indian who *became* “black” –

You can’t just string comparisons together and expect someone to accept your conclusion.
