asian-americans

Are you really equating the plight and histories of Asian-Americans and African-Americans in America over the past 3 centuries?

Asian-Americans are more heavily concentrated on the West Coast (hence Caltech and UC's high Asian admissions).

Are Asian-Americans in particular really representative of a general Asian population (with an American culture)?

I do wonder though if perhaps your desires are a bit different than those of second+ generation Asian-Americans.

On that point, it's very hard for me to see how Asian-Americans have a societal advantage that needs redressing in the USA.

As I see it, Asian-Americans are being punished - not to admit more Afrian-Americans - but to keep European-American admissions higher.

- As of 2010, Asian-Americans are the majority of Silicon Valley tech workforce: 50% vs 40% for Caucasians.

Asian households are larger, so median incomes are larger, and Asian-Americans tend to live in about 5 states, which have on average higher costs of living (and as a result higher median incomes).

It cites third-party academic research on the SAT exam showing that Asian-Americans have to score on average about 140 points higher than white students, 270 points higher than Hispanic students and 450 points higher than African-American students to equal their chances of gaining admission to Harvard.

Whereas you see yourself as Chinese, and thus happy to be introduced to American customs and be the "foreign friend", Asian-Americans would find it somewhat insulting to be considered less than American.

I'm one of those Asian-Americans that applied to only "elite" schools due to constant parental pressure and did "enough" to get accepted to most.

I think (from the latest uploads), Kevin would be easily able to identify his friends, and that sort of recording can easily go viral with the whole clickbait of "Asian-Americans making fun of a friend for not being Asian enough"
