White Privilege, Quantified

[MostReal]

Wow, liberals really do live in an alternate, fact free world. Only liberals would devise a study in which Asian people (not white people) are found to be receive superior treatment to other races and then go on to label the study as "White Privilege Quantified".

Huh? If East Asian people in the study were found to be allowed to ride free more than other race, shouldn't this article be titled "Asian Privilege Quantified'? Or are the facts to be ignored because they don't support the predetermined narrative about how white people are privileged and everyone else is a victim?

You left wingers seem to ignore the truth quite a bit when it comes to race. That is why you go on and on endlessly about "white privilege" when the facts show that in the United States, Asian people (not whites) are the wealthiest, best educated, have lowest rates of crime, etc

Truth simply does not matter to left wingers...................

an excellent point, hard to argue against it

Why do you think Asian people do so well (better than whites even) in a country as viciously evil, racist, and oppressive towards people of color as the U.S. is?

When you have a target set up, and the bullseye is the center & you continue to stay focused & accurately hitting that bullseye, do the other spots get hit?

This is why black people need to get away from the word minority & name themselves non-immigrant blacks. We are different from the other minority population.

This wasn't done in the US. The experiment was done in Australia. Not that I would imagine the results to be different here.

Pretty similar.

It is funny how threads like this die after you call out liberals for their bullshyt.

^^ Asians (aka "the model minority") overwhelmingly vote democratic. They even voted for Obama at a higher rate than Latinos (73 and 71 percent)... How could that be?
After all, conservatives always say that people vote democratic because they want "handouts".
Asians have the highest income, best educated group, strong families (lowest divorce rate) and least reliant on government welfare. Yet, they avoid the GOP like the plague (same with other rich minorities btw).
What is it about the GOP that repulses nonwhites (regardless of economic status) but attracts the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Cliven Bundy, David Duke, Pat Buchanan and Ted Nugent?

So why do you think Asians have so much success in an evil, racist, oppressive country like the United States?

You're really insinuating that Asians are discriminated like blacks?

We've all realized here that you're this forum's longtime resident idiot, so even answering your dumb questions is an exercise in futility.

It's crazy how even people in the comment section are able to call out bs.

I wrote a response but perhaps your website has a problem and the response didn’t go through. I apologize if there are multiple responses.

I think you two should come hang out with us. I laugh at the idea that MY generation of Hmong excel and thrives in all areas. Not at you personally, Jew’l, but at the assumption. This is exactly the kind of “model minority” stereotype that neglect the problems in my community. The stats do not lie even though the stats do include data from those who had no chance at an American education. Comparing people like the Hmong whose American history date back only 40 years to those such as the Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese whose American history date back generations if not more than a hundred years. Many of us grew up having to fill in the bubble that say “undeclared education” or “parents did not finish more than high school” when asked about our parents’ education, because our parents have no educational background.

I was disappointed upon seeing the stats in the Asian Americans Advancing Justice data but I understand how important it is to measure the whole community even those who never had an education. This is so we can look at our community and plan for progress. The stats compared those like the Hmong, Laotians, and Cambodians who came here after the Indochina mess, to those such as the Chinese, Taiwanese, Koreans, and Japanese who came generations before (and if they came later, they came from countries with better education institutions). The Stats clearly show that we are not all the same, thus debunk the model minority myth.

However, don’t assume that just because you see a few high achievers and a few success stories out of my community’s 40 years in America, that we are doing very well. That mentality only hurt us more than help us; it only push us back into the model minority stereotype. I agree with Scot that “t there are structural disadvantages, like racial segregation, that some Asian ethnic groups face, but that certain stereotypes tend to blind us to these unfair disadvantages.” My community is not excelling and thriving in all areas. Southeast Asians in America are like the minority of the minorities in the AAPI realm. Others like Jew’l, please come hang out with us before spurting assumptions.

I don’t think Asian Americans coined the term. I think the term was coined by non-Asians in the media, though that’s just based on where I saw it first. But the idea of Asian Americans as less prone to crime and delinquency, especially hard working and patriotic, etc., originated with and then was misappropriated and amplified by non-Asians for a variety of reasons, not least of which was to promote tough on crime policies that targeted black communities.

What is the BS you are referring to? The only BS I saw was naming an article "White Privilege Quantified" when the supporting data indicated that if any racial group has privilege it is East Asian people.

Do facts just not matter to liberals? How can you deny statistical truth?

Percentage of Passengers Who Were Allowed to Ride for Free, by Ethnicity

Percentage of Passengers Who Were Allowed to Ride for Free, by Ethnicity and Attire

Thirty-seven percent of white Americans believe that the police treat black people less fairly; 70 percent of black Americans feel the same way. Similar chasms exist when it comes to perceived discrimination in stores, the courts, and schools, which means that much of the nation's dialogue about racial inequality is defined by the clashing of intractable subjectivities.
Data alone can’t solve deep-seated social ills or mediate heated arguments, but it does have a habit of pulling conversations away from foggy abstraction and ad hominem accusations. That’s why studies showing that employers prefer to hire candidates with caucasian-sounding names over those with black-sounding ones and that the racial composition of juries affects trial outcomes are so powerful. And it’s why “Still Not Allowed on the Bus,” a working paper published late last year by two researchers based in Australia, is a meaningful contribution to a body of evidence indicating thatracial discrimination is real, concrete, and pervasive.
Those two researchers are Redzo Mujcic and Paul Frijters, and their paper describes the results of an experiment they arranged in the state of Queensland, Australia. Mujcic and Frijters liken the racial overtones of Queensland's history to those of the American South; it took until 1963 for black Aboriginals to gain the right to vote in Australia. In their experiment, Mujcic and Frijters enlisted 29 volunteers from different racial and ethnic backgrounds to board public buses, tell the drivers that they lacked the roughly $3.50 needed to ride, and say that they needed to get to a stop about a mile away. They were then asked to record whether the driver let them stay onboard. (They were also told to note the time of day and the weather conditions, which the researchers figured could engender compassion among the bus drivers.)
In all, the experiment yielded data on more than 1,500 encounters between volunteers and drivers. Nearly two-thirds of the volunteers’ pleas were successful, but the rate at which they were granted differed greatly across ethnicities. White participants were given a lot more leeway than black ones: 72 percent of white subjects were allowed to stay onboard, while only 36 percent of black ones were. The rate for South Asian subjects was around 50 percent, and for East Asians it was 73 percent.





The best part is the comments section.....

what a shame.

even black drivers stayed c00ning...

seems the black drivers where more fairer

and ironically...the same black drivers would not be treated the same way...

how do blacks change the system?

how can black get a different outcome? without c00ning themselves, or given a selfhate response, that they want to be a c00n?

So why do you think Asians have so much success in an evil, racist, oppressive country like the United States?

you haven't offed yourself yet?

No one wants to haggle with East Asians/Indians over 3.50. They are stingy and assertive like stereotypical Jewish while loud and difficult like the quintessential nikka. Bus driver probably figured the battle wasnt worth the victory. I know I would let them ride just to avoid the confrontation. Guaranteed the East Asian partcipants negotiated/browbeat free monthly bus passes for their fam even if it wasnt apart of the experiment and they own a car. Russians are the next difficult but they more lenient with funds. Lemme stop my inner Archie Bunker is surfacing. No surprise Australia next to Belgium is one of the most racist. The indigenous are invisible.

Where is that Jessica Mauboy chick. Dug that collab with Flo Rida
