Comments are pretty interesting on this one. There's a quite a few that are trying desperately to dance around the actual point of the headline and pin it all on white people regardless, but they're being rebutted pretty firmly.

Yeah, there’s also quite a lot of the “it’s from Quilette so it’s just race realism”, despite the fact that Quilette is pretty much centrist on everything and a long way from far right.

Quilette is pretty much centrist on everything and a long way from far right.

You're forgetting that, to quite a lot of people, anything to the right of them personally (we've long since passed using the likes of Mao as a marker) is far right. And centrist/moderates are especially despised because they somehow should know better or something, but they deliberately choose to be wrong, wrong, wrongy Mcwrongpants!

It's the internet so any real subtlety of opinion or intelligent discussion is gonna get sublimated under a billion hot takes.

To be fair, this is kinda the fault of white people, sort of. I'd not knee jerk against anyone who said that. It's not a conceded effort by white people to keep Asians out or anything like that, it's just the idiocy of college board type middle to middle upperclass types who are on average predominantly white but not exclusively so going about getting their panties in a bunch trying to enforce equality because it makes them feel bad and putting in a bunch of policies they think are equitable but in reality are actually super racist since they treat people differently based on skin color rather than simply judging them by their abilities.

They just like to get hung up on this idea of fairness. Yes it's beneficial to Asians that they tend to have more stable family structures and a cultural focus on education. That is what it is. Nothing stopping a black family from doing the same thing, and the ones that do have good success.

Sighted people have an advantage over the blind. We shouldn't cut the lights out at school because of that to make things more equitable for all.

I think the problem is one where you get too many emotional types, largely women, who just can't stand the idea that life is unfair, it is unfair, the goal shouldn't be to get bent out of shape trying to make it fair. There's some leeway that needs to be encouraged to look at people's backgrounds and maybe give some a break if they've got some significant barriers there that they've overcome, but they make it all about race which is pretty stupid. Not sure why that should come into play at all. And I would think there will be a lot of liability for the college if and when white people figure out how discrimination lawsuits work. The Asians are already starting to do that.
