Summary

The social justice left defines racism as "prejudice plus power" and by this definition Affirmative action is racist.I'm not talking about "reverse racism" or whatever nonsense they want to call it, I'm talking about Asian people being penalized simply for being Asian even though they are one of the smallest demographics in the US.So if the dominant culture is oppressing a minority culture why isn't the far left fighting for justice in this regard? Why aren't they calling for reform of affirmative action or its removal?SUPPORT JOURNALISM.

Harvard has recently been accused of discriminating against Asian Americans, and when this story dropped,

0:04.8

I didn't make a video about it because I thought, yeah, what else is new? Universities have been

0:09.7

accused of discriminating against Asians for decades. Recently, Google was accused of discriminating

0:15.5

against Asians. I started to wonder why isn't that we're not seeing outrage from social justice

0:20.5

activists over this oppressed minority being discriminated against? Asians have been the victims

0:26.4

of racism for a long time. Some really bad racism, and they still are. As someone who is Asian

myself, I had to wonder why is it that it is okay to discriminate against Asian people? And I

started to realize that based on the logic of the far left, based on intersectional feminism and

0:47.0

how it functions, it actually is racist to implement affirmative action policies. And now I'm going to

0:53.6

talk about why I think that is. On June 15, we saw the story from ABC News. Harvard University

1:01.4

accused of racial discrimination in admissions process for Asian American students. A non-profit

1:06.6

group called Students for Fair Admissions, claimed in court documents. Today's court filing

1:11.3

exposes the startling magnitude of Harvard's discrimination against Asian American applicants,

1:16.2

and we're blown a president of Students for Fair Admissions said in a statement to ABC News.

This filing definitively proves that Harvard engages in racial balancing, uses race as far

1:26.5

more than a plus factor, and has no interest in exploring race neutral alternatives. Instead of

1:32.0

taken even the most minor steps to address this problem, or conducting any further investigation,

1:37.5

Harvard killed the investigation and buried the reports, SFA said in its filing. The institution

1:42.9

fired back in its own filing, stating the 2013 study was incomplete preliminary and based on

1:48.2

limited inputs. The university went on to say their rate of Asian American enrollment has increased
