Isn’t systemic racism evident in the admissions policies of universities? The Asian community continues to fight this battle. A deeply curious question, when did Asians get lumped in with Pacific Islanders? Isn’t this half the globe’s population? Do they have shared experiences?

According to our dear activist Prof. of History(cism) at the New School University (from the previous article), she does not agree with prejudice in the admissions process, but agrees with Affirmative Action that excludes Asians. How she can reconcile these two antagonistic positions in her mind and remain coherent, I have no idea. For this post-modern class of humanities so-called professors, logical consistency is not a requirement, because they speak for the oppressed and they are morally superior to the rest of us. Logical reasoning belongs to the domain of oppressors!
But, can one explain how on the university of California application, Asians are separate designations from Pacific Islanders? One can argue that PI’s are underrepresented, but why are we now lumping them all together.
But seriously, ask your Chinese, Korean, Thai friends what they have in common with Pacific Islanders. And then ask you Samoan and Tongan friends what they share with Asian Americans. Other than a great sense of humanity for all - each group is diverse. Are we being played?

Yes - like the tone.

Must we alter #asianhate?
Shhhhh, maybe the lumping will continue and then the whole world will be one big group - HUMANITY!
Ha!
