Asian Americans who are racist blow my mind. "I& #39;m not white and I& #39;m successful so Black people should be too"
yeah but the US only takes highly qualified Asians in STEM fields, so there& #39;s no poor/uneducated Asians being let into the country. so it isn& #39;t comparable.
also Asian Americans are less than 1% of the country while Black people are 13% so is it really smart to compare a small group of highly qualified people to a large group of people who& #39;ve been denied opportunities and oppressed?
I& #39;m in no way saying that Asians don& #39;t face discrimination. it& #39;s just not on the same scale or of the same severity as Black ppl. we& #39;re being painted as some model minority not bc we& #39;re good but bc we& #39;re used as pawns to further deny Black ppl opportunities
and Asian Americans also have the highest income disparity.
they& #39;re also 75% less likely to get a loan in the US as compared to a white person.
it& #39;s 91% for Latino people, and 95% for Black people
we& #39;re being played.
Asian immigrants in America are cherry-picked, the best and highest qualified individuals from their own countries.
This creates the illusion that we& #39;re law-abiding hardworking residents.
So you& #39;re just used as a card for yts to deny justice to Black people.
