School District Decides Asians Aren't Students of Color

https://reason.com/2020/11/16/equity-report-north-thurston-asian-students-of-color/

Quote
One school district in Washington state has evidently decided that Asians no longer qualify as persons of color.

In their latest equity report, administrators at North Thurston Public Schools—which oversees some 16,000 students—lumped Asians in with whites and measured their academic achievements against "students of color," a category that includes "Black, Latinx, Native American, Pacific Islander, and Multi-Racial Students" who have experienced "persistent opportunity gaps."

Most indicators in the report show that the achievement gap between white/Asian students and "students of color" is fairly narrow and improving over time. It would probably be even narrower if Asian students were categorized as "students of color." In fact, some indicators might have even shown white students lagging behind that catch-all minority group. Perhaps Asians were included with whites in order to avoid such an outcome. (The superintendent did not respond to a request for comment.)

Can we just return to being people-of-human?

There is no division in that.
Without division there is no 'victim'.
Without 'victims' there is nobody for the enlightened, ever so Holy, Liberals to swoop in and 'save'.
Without anyone to save, there is no power.
And power through victimization is the ultimate goal.

That is why they do not include Asians in their 'low class and helpless' group.
Because the Asians never bought into the 'All White people are racists' (except us) Leftist mantra.
They threw all the snow white, Caucasian Leftist 'saviors' aside and achieved greatness on their own merits.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Is this the type of subject that conservatives will waste time on over the following four years?

They rescinded the policy after the Asian students' parents objected.  Strongly.

They found out the hard way - don't provoke the tiger moms!

In other words...
... only blacks are entitled to special status and privileges above "the rest of us".

Can't be stated any more plainly than that.

Well,some Asians are dark brown,and believe it or not,but the original inhabitants of Japan were blonde and had blue eyes.
