this is the article
http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/Stories/0,...2858314,00.html

and if you felt at all offended by it, even though i doubt any of you actually go to my school, please sign it. i know a lot of you are Asians and i just want you to think about how you'd feel if some writer decided to basically say that the only reason you have good grades is because you have no life and all you do is go to tutor. yeaaa

so help out and thanks for your time

:edit:

i forgot to mention that next year's asb president is NOT Asian and our homecoming queen isnt full asian. even though our school does not excel in football and basketball; we do excel in sports such as wrestling, volleyball, basketball, swim, golf, and tennis. and also we dont use the term "fobbing" and wtfreak does fobbing mean anyway. if fobbing is actually used i really doubt it means " blaring Chinese pop tunes on the stereo or picking up red bean popsicles and frozen shumai at the Chinese supermarket. " Cindy Chang's article is basically full of facts she found not from the asians of the community

:edit number dos:
forget it im going to stop explaining things it's too hard. let me shorten it down for you. i found her article to be totally full of bs. her facts were wrong. i have never heard anyone on my campus use "fobbing" lindsey lost because there were more qualified people running agaisnt her, Cindy Chang hardly questioned any of the asian population, and for someone who went to Yale; her writing fricken sucks.

This article clearly violates the high standards of journalism. She used brash generalizations much like those she claims Asian students do to white students at San Marino. Her supposed facts are not as accurate as they should have been making clear she did not write about what she saw, only what she wanted to see. The article in effect supports racism as she looks down upon Asian culture for not being more like the American culture she prefers. No matter how badly Miss Chang wants to make a story, obtaining and manipulating facts in this blatant manner violates the supposed integrity of journalism expected from an established newspaper.

...how is she looking down on asians when she's practically idolizing them in this article? i don't understand why you're offended when people say asians are harder working and do better at school than other ethnicities because of pressure from their traditional parents.

i know a lot of you are Asians and i just want you to think about how you'd feel if some writer decided to basically say that the only reason you have good grades is because you have no life and all you do is go to tutor.  yeaaa

...uh i'd like it. i'd rather be an asian with no life and good grades than some dumbass who parties all day, k thanks.

i agree with you on one thing: her writing does suck... which is why i hardly think it's worthy enough to be called "racist". it has no voice... she's simply writing neutral comments for the sake of writing, lol. either you guys are reading too much into this, or you don't like being praised ;x. she never even outright stated that the reason "lindsey" lost the election is because asians vote for asians... she implied it, and showed statistics on the school population.

But at San Marino High School, the conventional wisdom is that it is difficult for a white candidate to muster enough votes from a student body that is more than 70 percent Asian.

But at San Marino High School, the conventional wisdom is that...

it's conventional wisdom that people like to hang out with people who are similar to themselves. it's no surprise if it was a fact that asians vote for asians... just look at our last election. who do you think voted for bush?
