最近看到这篇文章： https://washingtonmonthly.com/2021/11/10/asian-americans-and-the-pursuit-of-unhappiness/ 这两周又不断发生亚裔学生在芝加哥大学被杀，在费城地铁上被骂被打的事件。如果我们再不发声，就被人欺负的渣都不剩了！！ 文章的中心思想：拼命给 AA洗白，不仅如此，还说亚裔，尤其是中国来的，一切的不开心，包括亚裔青少年自杀事件，都只能怪自己太努力，太追求成功，还要责怪华裔父母推娃。 Direct quote: "the greatest obstacle to happiness and fulfillment for Asian Americans might be a hyper-focus on achievement to the detriment of their mental health and well-being". 直接翻译：亚裔最大的敌人是自己，啥不顺都不能怪别人，回家怪父母好了。想象一下，有人敢这样写别的族裔的文化吗？非裔？西裔？ 而且文章故意cite 一篇社会科学论文，说论文里指出亚裔青少年自杀率里面 ，更多的比例是和学校相关，所以，一定是父母给的压力太大！ 但是我看了论文原文，亚裔青少年和白人青少年对比，别的自杀因素都是更低或者差不多。但是 school related, much higher, 13.5% vs. 7.1%。 school related原因里面：有 difficulty with teacher, bullying, social exclusion, performance pressure, 那个作者怎么能够歪曲成所有school related reason 是因为亚裔父母给孩子压力太大？？？难道更不是可能因为 bullying, social exclusion，校园环境对亚裔小孩的不友吗？？？？尤其联系起这周费城发生的事件。要我看， 这个作者真是其心可诛，明明是因为美国社会青少年圈子对亚裔青少年不那么友好，追求反智文化，校园暴力和孤立现象导致亚裔青少年自杀率高，这个作者煞有介事的cite 这篇论文，把school related 这个原因非说成一定是父母给的压力大。 文章的作者是一个韩裔移民。我们亚裔里尽出这种自己批判自己的怂货。请大家给这个鬼杂志的编辑写抗议信，要求删除这篇文章。 这个杂志主编：Paul Glastris， Paul is editor in chief of the Washington Monthly, a position he has held since April 2001. 他的电邮： [email protected] 我写的抗议信也贴在这里： Dear Editor in Chief, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing because I came across an article "Asian Americans and the Pursuit of Unhappiness” published on Washington Monthly today, which is deeply disturbing for me and many of my friends who are Asian American and parents. The link is here: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2021/11/10/asian-americans-and-the-pursuit-of-unhappiness/ The article starts with the discussion of Affirmative Action, which we do not wish to take a stand here. However, the author shows no sympathy to the cases of Asian teens committing suicide, and callously attributes that solely to the teens themselves, their parents, their family, and their culture. Teen suicide is a sad, heavy, and complex topic, it is shocking to see the author just throws unfounded accusations against us Asian parents and our culture so carelessly. The author claimed in direct quote, “the greatest obstacle to happiness and fulfillment for Asian Americans might be a hyper-focus on achievement to the detriment of their mental health and well-being.” This statement is so wrong and vicious in so many ways, just to name a few: First, this statement itself is full of stereotype bias against Asian teenagers and their parents. I personally know many Asian kids with diverse interests in sports and music besides achieving great school work, some of them aspiring to become rap singers. If anything, the author is worsening the racial bias against Asian Americans. In particular, the author also uses one single case of parents not approving their children’s plan for life and tries to generalize that to all Asian parents. Asian parents are demonized in this article. While the truth is, Asian parents, including myself, are the same as any other American parents, who love their children and who are willing to do anything they can to support their children’s happiness. Second, if this article is about discussing racism against Asian American, this statement is the typical example of “blame the victim”. We are proud of our culture. We are proud that we value education and hard work, and we refuse to apologize for it. We would not tolerate any type of speech that twists the core meaning of our culture and blatantly attacks it. Third, the publication of this article itself is evidence of racism against Asian American as a minority group that anyone can just trash them thinking there would be no consequences. Sure, we as Asian Americans, like any other ethnic group in this country, are not perfect. But imagine if someone writes an article just like this but addressing another minority group calling them “they themselves are responsible for their unhappiness”. Lastly, we are especially uncomfortable that the author singles out the East Asian Americans, especially the Korean and Chinese Americans. This is racism. For the above reasons and more, we are deeply disturbed that this article is now still online and possibly will be read by millions of fellow Americans and will only exacerbate the racism against Asian Americans. Hence we request the editorial board please remove this article at your earliest convenience.
“In Harvard’s case, Asian Americans received the highest scores for academics and extracurricular activities among all racial groups, but received the lowest personal rating. ” 为什么不从这个角度sue呢？这是racial discrimination。

已经在告Harvard了。Students For Fair Admissions （SFFA）告Harvard歧视亚裔申请人的案子已经上最高法院了。各大媒体都报道过的。明年高院应该要判了，不知道结果会如何。

我看到还是因为微信群里有华人发，说是好文章。亚裔太善于自省了。人家拳头打到脸上了，一定是自己做的不好。
华人胆小怕事，别说不敢路见不平拔刀相助，就连争取自己的权益都不敢，就想着别人为自己出头，所以被打真只能说活该 警察把罪犯抓住了，要华人出庭作证，不肯去，警察也不愿意帮华人。 吃饭服务差，被服务员索要小费，只敢忍气吞声，乖乖掏钱，心里想着下次不去而已。 网上爆料，公司名字老板名字都不敢说 路上被黑人骂只会装作没听见笑笑走开 买房不敢买带游泳池的，怕娃淹死 家里不敢配枪 各种胆小如鼠，不怕一万只怕万一，宁可信其有不可信其无，不敢反抗，被人欺负这不是自找的么？就连以前日军侵华，几个日本兵就可以押着几百华人去枪毙也没人敢反抗，都想着别人反抗失败了，别人先死，成功了自己也能活。都想做free rider，最后都死。
为什么不从这个角度sue呢？这是racial discrimination。
其实人家印度人英语更好，更会玩政治，所以他们尽管在admission上面临着同样的问题，反AA却不是他们。
这个主意不错，大家可以直接一起找个律师告那个报纸
是Harvard,不是报纸
已经在告Harvard了。Students For Fair Admissions （SFFA）告Harvard歧视亚裔申请人的案子已经上最高法院了。各大媒体都报道过的。明年高院应该要判了，不知道结果会如何。

搜了一下，所以sffa是sue discrimination against Asians和反对AA两项？ 前者证据很明显了。👍 后者，这是让东亚裔和别的少数族裔鹬蚌相争啊。所以人家印度人在反AA上，早就不约了啊。
