This is literally the conservative argument against affirmative action lol.
What exactly does "acting white" mean? Being affected by your peers mannerisms is normal regardless of color, no?
It's funny how badly the conversation gets reframed within just a few posts.
Somehow hbotz is engaging people with concessions about this being about PC culture or something.
It's a very straightforward article about a mom who wants her black kids to be intellectually challenged by their education, not tokenized. Assessing it as racism is outright ■■■■■■■■
What in there was "racial garbage?"
well, its not like i can take it at 100% face value myself. its a mildly conservative article for mildly conservative readers. no opinion article is actually "honest".
Also it's quite telling how poor certain people's reading comprehension is / total inability or even unwillingness to engage with the content. Our educational institutions are severely broken if their output is anything to judge by.
Was this targeted at me?
Yes.
My education didn't fail me. I just didn't participate!
She made it pretty clear with the affirmative action stuff they weren't tokenized. She only mentioned the tokenization with respect to them being more prominently featured in the brochures for their old Jewish day school
Also I have reported that post as it is targeted harassment
Yes, I didn't read it or understand it. Me posting reasons why all of what she said was bullshit is not engaging with the content.
Once more, asoul can't respond to arguments and acts in bad faith. No contribution whatsoever
its an opinion piece noobs who cares what the details are
Being Asian around almost exclusively white people myself, I could also fall under the definition of a "white actor" of sorts, but what separates black/asian/white behavior? If it's culture, why should I feel obligated to partake in Korean culture which is completely foreign to me? @electrowizard
Shut up the Americans are speaking
It's also targeted at a certain someone who reasoned backwards from the assumption that the article was racist, without clicking it or reading it (you can see the number of click-throughs on the link - also apparent from the fact that a major point of the article was the experiences of the person's black kids, which is impossible to miss if you actually read it) and then used that assumption to accuse hbotz of being racist
Where did anyone make any of those kinds of claims about how to live your identity?
Did you not see my giant post quoting nearly half the article, moron?
Ewiz compliments me more than you. I'm going to take his side until you decide to start complimenting how smart I am
