Trump is eliminating Jim Crow laws that Democrats put in place.
They need to stop voting Democrat tho. It’s holding them back.
“I saw people less qualified than me get better offers,”Welcome to the club, but in your case, you won't be called racist for trying to right this wrong.
MICHAEL WANG, a young Californian, came second in his class of 1,002 students; his ACT score was 36, the maximum possible; he sang at Barack Obama’s inauguration; he got third place in a national piano contest; he was in the top 150 of a national maths competition; he was in several national debating-competition finals. But when it came to his university application he faced a serious disappointment for the first time in his glittering career. He was rejected by six of the seven Ivy League colleges to which he applied.
“I saw people less qualified than me get better offers,” says Mr Wang. “At first I was just angry. Then I decided to turn that anger to productive use.” He wrote to the universities concerned. “I asked: what more could I have done to get into your college? Was it based on race, or what was it based on?” He got vague responses—or none. So he complained to the Department of Education. Nothing came of it.

Living mostly with Asians I also thought, "use of “soft skills” such as “likeability” and “helpfulness” to determine acceptance, which are thought to disadvantage Asian-American students" strikes me as racist and patronizing by people who fail to understand that remaining composed and modest, are important "soft skills" in many Asian cultures. Quite competence is more admired than brash self-promotion.
Even 'The Atlantic' is aware
“likeability” and “helpfulness”
moving to Japan specifically to be around these cultural traits
Japanese think white people look better with heads removed by sharp swords.
Ceffer saysJapanese think white people look better with heads removed by sharp swords.
They also think that stomachs need better ventilation as in "seppuku".
Well, is seems racist that college admissions officers believe that Asians are not “likeable” or “helpful”.
Obama administration guidelines told colleges they could consider applicants' race as part of the admissions process
But Trump administration is ditching that rule, claiming it is not in line with the law on affirmative action
Department of Justice is investigating a claim by Asian-American students that Harvard is discriminating against them by limiting admissions
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to revoke guidelines that encourage considering race in the college admissions process as a way of promoting diversity, it was reported Tuesday.
The guidelines, put in place by the administration of President Barack Obama in 2011 and 2016, put forth legal recommendations that Trump officials contend 'mislead schools to believe that legal forms of affirmative action are simpler to achieve than the law allows,' the Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the plans.
Trump administration officials plan to argue the guidelines go beyond what the Supreme Court has decided on the issue, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled universities may use affirmative action to help minority applicants get into college.
Conservatives have said such programs can hurt white people and Asian-Americans.
The Justice Department under Republican President Donald Trump has been investigating a complaint by more than 60 Asian-American organizations that say Harvard University's policies are discriminatory because they limit the acceptance of Asian-Americans.
