Well there has been talk of this happening as a joke but it seems one school district in Washington state (home of the former soviet socialist republic of CHAZ, 2020-2020) has decided that Asians (and this is a wide net to cast) are no longer ‘people of color’

now the school district has hid their data report after some backlash and made a generic statement saying ‘they didn’t mean any harm’ but we all know what they meant by their reporting and decision-making:

per washington state educators: if you or your children do well in school then ‘they ain’t a minority’.

Now while California firmly rejected prop 16 or whatever it was (which basically tried to reintroduce racial quotas and divisions, which would lead back to “separate but equal”), and of course noted racist institutions like Harvard and Yale have been sued for racial discrimination, it seems this racism by ‘educators’ still continues. Harvard makes sense since the Boston area is the south of the north, but this happening in Washington state (again, home of the former utopian soviet socialist republic of CHAZ) is concerning

thoughts my friends?

Categories are created because they are useful.

Historically they have been created by the conquerors or colonizers to justify their actions.

In this case categories are used for grouping students by educational attainment so they can look at what causes the difference.

People getting angry at this is just as much a symptom of our lack of science education as flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, and young earth creationists.

Nice quality post, you bigot

You mad that you are a dipshit?

Yellow is a color

So is red

ok ginger

1. UW is probably moving closer to an Asian population be an equal # +/-, as SEA has for a long time a HUGE Asian population. So I haven't done the math but statistically it is very possible that they are NOT the minority by much.
Looked it up they are 10% less at UW. White 37% white 27& Asian. So I don't know where the change in classifying the "boxes" came from but could be due to being the small difference % in student population.
2. Your obsession with the shithole what was CHAZ is ridiculous. FYI it doesn't exist anymore.

BTW Thurston Country is more closely related to Idaho than Seattle proper. You should point the finger at the R wingers that run that county
