Dreamer,

The choice is to actually change the way you act. That means Asians acting less Asian when it comes to negative things Asians do that hurt them.
In the Asian community it is well known that they need higher test scores to get into elite colleges. Many Asians have responded to this the way blacks did, but forming a "victim mentality" and trying to exert political pressure.

The problem is that this changes the narrative from the reality, that elite colleges penalize Asians for bad behaivors, to victimology. Victims don't need to change. Everyone else needs to change for the victim. Thus Asians who see themselves as victims can go on not changing the things they need to change to succeed because its societies responsibility to change, not theirs. Instead of acting on that which they control, their own actions, they give up that power and through their fate on the whims of society.

It's time for the Asian community to stop complaining about SAT differentials and start asking, "why don't elite colleges want us if we have such great scores." And then naturally, "what can we do to change that by changing ourselves." Instead its cries of racism and doubling down on the same failed strategies.

There is a lot of status anxiety amonst Upper Middle Class whites because there are so many Asians. The numbers, billions, is just overwhelming. And they all come from poor countries and are desperate. Jews are much smarter then Asians, but UMC whites aren't worried about them. Because their numbers are small and they grew up in first world countries so they tend no to drive down wage rates just because tney are desperate.

Numbers matter. Blacks and native Americans aren't all that different. But nobody is upset about free college for Native Americans because its 0.X% of the population. Throw em a bone, its a rounding error. At 10% of pop you can't afford to throw blacks a bone.

Having been around lots of Asians I can only tell you both what I see and what Asians tell me about themselves. Asians see themselves as beta and are unhappy with what life has given them. This is especially true as they age and all the happiness that was suppose to come from going to a good school and getting a good job doesn't come.

2) The point is that low status Dilbert engineering jobs don't require elite educations, so why would elite schools want to take people that are going to end up in those roles.
