So why is it that Hispanics get preferred AA and victimhood status relative to Asians? If they were smart, this is the argument Asians should use in those college admission lawsuits.<\/p>\n<p>* This article\u2019s existence says nothing more to me than the left is getting nervous about losing Asian-American votes to Trump in the short term. Hence why the New Yorker is seeding the ground to encourage Asians to think of themselves as \u201coppressed minorities\u201d hated by evil whitey \u2014all in order to drive them back to the leftist fold.<\/p>\n<p>Why would lefties be threatened that Asian-Americans might be defecting to Trump?<\/p>\n<p>Well, they\u2019re already angry that their kids are getting the shaft at the Ivys big-time, and those slots given to to blacks and any Hispanic they can find. Tiger Moms don\u2019t like pushing their kids to breaking points and then seeing some stupid welfare-roller take their kid\u2019s slot.<\/p>\n<p>But now immigration is hitting Asian-Americans where it really hurts\u2013jobs. H1B1 visas kill Asian-American kids in Silicon Valley; the tech companies can get an FOB guy at 1\/3 the price, work him double time, and then kick him out if he gets uppity. Why hire the local American kid, Asian or not, who can demand more?<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget those Asian kids in California are feeling a lot of the brunt of illegal immigration first-hand.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump starts successfully uniting white collar immigration concerns on H1B1 visas and the like (say it with me: \u201cmoratorium\u201d) with the blue collar concerns on illegals and Americans of all levels fed up with illegal crime and parasitism\u2014well, gee whiz, then Trump does look like an unstoppable juggernaut. Not only will it get him a ton more votes, but the Asian-American upper-middle class community might be inclined to open their pocketbooks for him\u2013and similar immigration restrictionists. That might be a tipping point to finally counter other racial groups big-money donations that keep the borders unchecked.<\/p>\n<p>* Because obviously immigrants ought to have instant income parity with Americans as soon as they arrive.<\/p>\n<p>In short: Allow limitless number of poor and unskilled people to immigrate to the US. Then blame American racism and nefariousness when the immigrants aren\u2019t at the same income levels as Americans. Advocate \u201csocial justice\u201d programs to fix this problem.<\/p>\n<p>* I don\u2019t believe white guys get an inordinate amount of white fever Asian girls. It\u2019s not so much that but rather than Asian men don\u2019t get reciprocal attention from non-Asian women. Like black women, when the dating rules become deregulated due to race, Asian men lose out, as more opportunities leave than come their way. Asian girls might choose a white or an Asian dude, but non-Asian women aren\u2019t choosing Asian men. They get increased competition for their resources but do not get to compete for the competition\u2019s resources<\/p>\n<p>When intra-ethnic and intra-racial dating prohibitions were in place, I\u2019ll bet a lot more homely people of all races got laid, marriages, kids, etc. than today. Because of the smaller pool to choose from; it functioned as a de facto union for girls. As a girl, break the union rules and become a scab\u2013i.e. date outside your race or ethnicity\u2014and be shunned, lose your position, perhaps face violent reprisals. Stay with the union\u2014i.e. only date your race\/ethnicity\u2014and you\u2019d get a guy whose value might not be as high as the man in the other race\/ethnicity you could get, but you\u2019d keep social standing, have a pride of place, and see your kids look like you, and be guaranteed a pleasant homogeneous community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments to Steve Sailer: * According to Pew Research, as of 2010 every single Asian-American subgroup (Koreans, Filipinos, Vietnamese, etc.) has a higher median household income than whites. * It does seem to me that historically, Asians have faced far &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=77698\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2571,161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asians","category-immigration"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77698"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77703,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77698\/revisions\/77703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
