Why should my family and friends that live and are now citizens of America be held responsible for African American slavery that us Asians/Chinese had nothing to do with? Chinese Americans should then has the right to ask America for compensation for the building of railroads in America? This is just f...ng ridiculous

Imagine trying to find any rhyme or logic based in human decency or fair legal rules in the decisions of an ultra nationalist state.

Let me spell it out why these changes are being made: to buy the loyalty of the more numerous black population by sacrificing the asian population.

Of course, its not an especially smart decision, because it will worsen the future scientific development of the country. However, giving a real concession such as scaling back on mass imprisonment, reforming schools in black majority neighborhoods, restraining the draconian police and so on, is not possible because of ideological reasons.

Another level of craziness from the Great Republican Party. Right wing extremists are now approaching the level of conservative and feudal state of Taliban. No wonder the woke and equally absurd Democratic Party is still thriving. I mean people are forced to make a choice between two extreme parties. So either you get lynch, put into internment camp, assets confiscated for being not American enough, women went back to be babies making machine or you get cancelled from being not gay enough, not trans enough, not black enough, not lesbian enough.

I'm not saying that western academics are unbiased arbiters of truth, I am saying that they have no skin in this particular game, whereas Hindutva academics within India are clearly motivated to "reinterpret" the science to serve current political objectives.

Do you really think the funding agencies for social sciences in the west have no political positions? By your logic, western interpretation of the history of regions outside the west is all ground truth, since they supposedly have no skin in the game.
What is orientalism?

They know it'll never happen. Look at Biden's plan to cancel student debt. It's in limbo because of the courts. He probably knew this would happen but now he could claim he tried hence blame it on others.

I remember a couple decades ago something about reparations back then was brought up and someone threw out the idea Japan had to pay because according to their logic Japan made money from the US therefore liable. They included Japan because back then it was Japan that was an economic rival to the US. You better believe they're going to expect China to pay for the West having slavery and if it doesn't happen they'll blame China.

This is because Asians and whites do exceptionally well on SATs, and with Universities unable to make racial quotas once Affirmative Action is overturned by Supreme Court, so by making SATs optional, they can indirectly (and recruit) attract more Black/Hispanics to apply. It's bullshit since GPA varies wildly....a 4.0 from podunk highschool is nothing compared to 4.0 from TJHSST or Stuy. Less reason to reject a black if you close your eyes to terrible scores. This probably hurts Asians too that do score well and have high GPAs, because now SATs don't count. I suggest Asians hire a college consultant to help bullshit your essay and ECs, because that's what the process will be diluted to.

I wonder if affirmative action is banned, can they still know your race/background by your last name? Supreme Court should make admissions as blinded to names, or identifiers of cultural origin.
