According to Mayor DiBlasio of New York City, (currently running neck and neck with Moonbeam Brown of California as the fruitiest fruitcake in politics today, Asian students are over represented in NYC city schools' advanced programs because of "white privilege." Sneaky SOB's. All this time we thought they wuz them Asiatic types.

Liberal de Blasio's idea of 'diversity' throws the best students under the bus
Jun 13, 2018

"I also have a dream."

This rallying cry, handwritten on a simple white placard held up by an Asian-American mom at a protest this week against liberal New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan to radically t***sform New York City's public schools, says it all. A new civil rights struggle in education has exploded -- yet the national media and the usual celebrity voices for e******y and justice are nowhere to be found.
While student "Dreamers" here illegally from south of the border garner bleeding-heart front-page stories and nightly news dispatches, the high-achieving sons and daughters of legal immigrants from Asia are getting shafted by far-left Democrats.
And it's all in the perverted name of "diversity."
De Blasio is hell-bent on destroying equal opportunity and merit-based admissions because the results are not equally distributed according to his social-engineering agenda. The Big Apple's famed specialized schools, such as the Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Technical High School and High School for Math, Science and Engineering at City College, require an academic entrance exam. It's a highly competitive process in which tens of thousands of students vie for a total of about 5,000 slots.
So what's the problem? According to the bean-counting extremists, too many Asian-Americans have aced the test and are "overrepresented." It's not enough for the social justice crowd to settle for a 20 percent minority set-aside. They want to scrap the test altogether. A bill to eliminate the exams passed the state assembly education committee last week. Though it may die this year, the toxic principles underlying the legislation have infected the left for decades.
Dullard de Blasio falsely argues that white privilege and class privilege are to blame for the lack of black and Latino student representation at the elite schools. The two groups account for 67 percent of public school students but only made up 10 percent of elite school admissions offers last year. By contrast, Asian-Americans, who make up 16 percent of public school students, received 52 percent of offers in the past year.
So are Asian-Americans classified as "white" now? And how does de Blasio get away with the lie that these best and brightest Asian-American students are economically privileged?
Fact: The city's own poverty assessment shows that Asians are the poorest demographic group, with 24.1 percent living at or below poverty -- vs. 19.5 percent citywide. The New York Post reports that overall, 45 percent of students at the "elite eight" schools qualify for free lunch.
As I've observed for years, liberal race-fixers believe that "too many" Asian-American students winning school admissions on their own merits is a bad, bad thing. In our case, overcoming the supposed encumbrances of ethnicity and skin color is viewed not as a proud accomplishment but as a political liability.
This is classic crab-in-the-bucket syndrome. If you put a single crab in an uncovered bucket, it will find a way to climb up and out on its own. But if you put a dozen crabs in a bucket, eleven will fight with all their might to pull down the independent striver who attempts to escape. And so it is with the identity politics mob and the e******y of outcome cult. They can't stand high achievers and freethinkers who escape their iron grip.
A sad irony of the battle over racial preferences in education is that many of the very leaders who have lobbied hardest to re-jigger the numbers on college campuses to fit a politically correct, proportional ideal are supposedly "progressive" Asian-Americans.
I personally endured attacks from many of them who labeled me and other conservative minority leaders "sellouts" for opposing government-imposed diversity policies that sabotaged color-blindness and punished academic excellence.
Now, those same quota champions are seeing those same policies blow up in their faces in New York City's high schools. "Diversity" at all costs means taking the hardest-working, top-scoring students who earned their seats on the bus -- and tossing them under the wheels.
Tell me again who the real sellouts are?

Most Asian kids are equally if not higher ranking students with the w****s.
Thus de Blasio is jealous of this. He prefers diversity and e******y instead of the MERIT based system. Now, he is preventing the Asian kids to move up. But those dumb Mexicans, Hispanics,and b****s, given preference instead. That is why the quality of our education system is down or lower than the 3rd world.

US needs qualified bright employees. WE continue importing those high qualified employees because the US system has not produced enough high achiever students, due to the liberal/democrat policies, that create dumb graduates.
