"Students of Color, minus Asian" at U of Maryland
-
Because liberals believe that being racist against far east asians isn't racist.

Proof that "academics" can be just as foolish as the rest of us from time to time!
One of the "oddities" of the 2020 Census results has been the large number of people - same people, mind you - who in the 2000 Census declared their race to be Asian, but declared their race in 2020 to be White.
Similar "jumps" to "Whiteness" come from previously declared "mixed race" individuals.
So - Asians are being "kicked out" of the "People of Color" label?
Why is that?
Do they want to be White?
Do Whites want more numbers to maintain their "sense of majority" in the population?
Do Blacks not want them because their skin tone is too-White?
Do Blacks (and/or Hispanics) not want them because they lessen the "severity" of the apparent biases they face?It's silly to lump Asians in with Whites when looking at racial issues... especially in today's global multi-culturization! The foolishness of this is comedic even...
But the more interesting question is why? Why did they feel the need to do this?

@raphjd To liberals, asians are a problem because they are not only minorities, but also tend to be intelligent and good in math! Having a high IQ is RACIST in the minds of liberals.
It has always bewildered me why an employer nor anybody else can require an IQ test. The closest a University can get to that are SAT or ACT scores, and even then, tests are now under attack as measures of selecting students. Some states want to abolish testing altogether, while other states are giving "bonus" points or biased grades based upon race.

Wait... You don't see your characterization of "All Asians are good at math" as racist?
You seriously think "it's only racist if it's bad"?
I'm sorry - but the idea that "Asians are somehow the good minority" is racist as fuck!
I'm dating an Asian man: his dick is every bit as big as mine (which isn't bragging for either of us, but it is a de-validation of the stereotype that Asian men have small dicks); and he's "about average" in Math (I work in Computer Science, so my own math skills are much higher than average - not just because of study, but also because I use higher math every day in my work).
Is it any more or less racist to not hire a Mexican applicant because you assume he's lazy than it is to hire an Asian because you think he's better at math?
NO!
Both decisions are based on racial stereotypes and are therefore racist decisions - even though the second one favors the Asian applicant!
