sign petition, stupid racist reporters Options

[>>radiant]

so recently a writer has consistently been coming my school and writing about it but this time she wrote an extremly negaive, stereotypical, and just plain bad article about Asians at my school

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.

At San Marino High School, the homecoming queen is Asian, the student body president is Asian, and the football roster is seeded with names like Lim, Chen and Wang. In the advanced math and science classes, there are only a few white faces in a sea of Asians.

whoa whoa THAT is going too far... i signed it

whoa whoa THAT is going too far

How so? If the majority of the school is Asian, wouldn't it make sense that Asians have an easier time winning votes? Lets not delude ourselves into thinking that homecoming queens are voted on true beauty and intelligence instead of popularity. If the school's majority is White, there's a good chance that the homecoming queen be White. Considering American culture, this should be expected.

What exactly is the author racist about? She has stats saying that the majority is Asians and they're setting high standards. Is this stereotypical? Maybe, maybe not. I know my parents don't set high standards for me, but I KNOW other Asian parents aren't as generous as mine. I don't think it's stereotyical, I think it's somewhat true.

Edit: ya'll are funny.

agree.
though it is stereotypical, it isn't really racist. And personally, it is true of a lot of my asian friends. Quite a few of them whose parents push them REALLY hard to excel. But not all, which is why it's stereotypical to me. But I don't think she was trying to be racist.
