News Alert: Asians in America Don't Exist.

And they especially don't exist if they don't have a 'tiger mom' and don't excel at math, the violin, and karate. In fact the erroneous label 'asian' is merely a self assigned racist term that people from that far away land mass (coincidentally called Asia) call themselves to make real Americans feel inferior. It is a fact that those so called 'asians' are white. It is important to note that putative 'asians' are not American, in that they deserve recognition of American citizenry, rather the 'asian' unicorn is racially indistinct from white. Of course, it goes without saying that Euro-Americans are never white. To call a person, who is 2% Native American, 4% Irish, 30% Belgian, 20% English, 16% French and 28% Hungarian, 'white' is an immeasurable insult to their unique heritage.

Disclosure: Just in case it matters to anyone, I used to think that it was okay to check the asian/pacific islander box, but now I don't check any box, because my racial classification of white is never an option. I guess people like me just don't deserve to exist.

What do you think of the suggestions by opponents of affirmative action that the non-inclusion of Asian Americans in affirmative action programs reveals those programs to be fundamentally unfair?

I think they are wrong. MF pointed out that the real issue regarding AA in HR departments is really about focusing on particular groups of under-represented minorities. Who cares if asians are represented (as either minorities or not), if other groups are severely under-represented?
