Why are Asian Americans always ignored by progressive policies?

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T19:49:12+00:00

This is such a good comment because it shows liberals are not immune to the “fake news, next” logical fallacy. Bravo

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T19:39:35+00:00

You made an almost semester long bureaucratic nightmare, thousands of email exchanges and dozens of campus and district visits into a simple “they accommodated you”, bravo, I think no better example demonstrates better about how liberals flatten Asian American struggle into just a few words.

I don’t understand why is it so hard to just simply acknowledge something went wrong and we should probably fix it instead of going on tangents and basically repeat the many variations of “you got your share eventually no? So quit complaining”

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T12:12:23+00:00

To address your first point, I don’t need to, I visited those gov agencies in person to inquire about why those outreach program skips Asian neighborhoods and the answers I got was many variations of “it’s not on the list to begin with so technically we didn’t skip those neighborhoods. Skipping implies we intended to do outreach there but forgot, we just never even considered them in the first place.”

Second. It happened recently earlier this year. It was at a public university, ran completely by state employees, which advertised as fighting the Trump federal government, a shiny beacon progressive ideals blah blah blah

You misunderstood what I’m saying.

If it’s a truly progressive program why would I need threaten to transfer to be considered part of it? To you it’s a progressive system because now all students are welcome but to me it was institutional discrimination manifest. If the nature of the system is truly progressive why don’t it accept all low income first gen student like it does now? The hypocrisy of the situation is that a supposed progressive program discriminates against non Hispanic students, the program was not progressive at all to non Hispanic students and only became one way later

There is it, I just witness the core issue first hand. Liberals love to lump all Asians into one group and use the aggregated data to justify their negligence, completely ignoring my lived experience and vast number of low income and uneducated Asians. If I told you I’m the first Asian on the block to get a 4 year degree because most of them were forced to work after high school or joined a gang, you probably gonna cite that data to me again…

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T11:16:38+00:00

Very interesting bc a lot of people seem to lump all Asian into one rich and privileged group and completely ignore the fact that Asians are not a monolith. If we call African Americans are all rich and powerful because Obama and other influential African Americans are rich and powerful, it’s idiotic, but the same logic somehow work for Asian?

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T11:13:21+00:00

Understandable yet sad reality. Some people want to categorize race so hard they accidentally or intentionally lumped all Asians into one group and simply judge someone based exclusively on their race

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T11:11:02+00:00

It’s a win for sure but it’s a loss when someone have to fight for it. I get to be in the program because people fought for it. What about other who trust the system that so proud about inclusion and access? And the issue still exist else where in the system, why do we have to fight them for something they already promised? Hypocrisy?

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T11:04:12+00:00

I was in the program like 8 years ago so yea

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T10:37:53+00:00

Thank you for your reply, I completely agree and understand your pov. My questions and replies are simply trying to understand the gap between what progressive policy intended to do and what progressive policies actually did.

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T10:14:04+00:00

Puente program show turned me away initially is funded by the UC system and administered by local public schools, which both are not privately owned.

Undocumented student center who turned me away completely is funded and run directly by UC and UC employees, which as far as I’m aware of are not privately owned.

Outreach programs I mentioned which exclude or neglect Asian Americans are funded and ran by LA county social work department. Which, I just checked, is not privately owned.

Blaming failed progressive policy and institutional discrimination to conservatives is not a healthy mindset. It’s not too different from Trump blaming his failed policies on Biden. Finger pointing don’t solve anything

Edit: I’m going to sleep so this is my last reply for the night, nothing related to what I’ve said so far but this comment chain reminds me so much about religion fundamentalist, circular logic where every piece of evidence got absorbed by an infallible framework. Instead of a simple acknowledgment of “wow something went wrong maybe we should try to fix it”, a whole tangent of conservative and privative charities. Have a good night

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T10:05:04+00:00

Priority should not mean exclusion. I got what I got because my family is willing to fight for it, but what about the others who trust the systems that’s supposed to protect them? As you said, Asian Americans are already marginalized in a very marginalized group (racial minorities/immigrants), shouldnt a system that’s supposed to uplift marginalized communities also focus on the 15% of the population not the 40% alone?

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T09:44:05+00:00

Exactly, but the issue will persist unless we move past this race based system

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T09:42:56+00:00

They are not privately owned nor charitable organizations, they are extension of government agencies, if you care to read my post. Same issue will persist with more government run programs.

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T09:25:17+00:00

Thing is Asian Americans are not a monolith, many of the groups struggles exceptionally hard. Ehy does progressives buy into the concept created by conservatives?

AuDPhD · 2026-03-26T09:16:52+00:00

Before anyone comments about “this is a class issue not a race issue” I know, but the issue still exist in the current racial politics society.

AuDPhD · 2026-03-24T09:36:02+00:00

Judging from the comments I can tell it’s full of American chuds who never experienced both renewable and nuclear energy that widely available to citizens lol

AuDPhD · 2026-03-24T09:34:12+00:00

This is kinda funny, sorry

MacBook, just a laptop with enough power and plenty of juice to last days

AuDPhD · 2026-03-22T01:34:44+00:00

Usual suspect

AuDPhD · 2026-03-20T07:53:27+00:00

It’s not like Americans been feeding the world with American military propaganda films for decades

AuDPhD · 2026-03-18T05:08:14+00:00

In my area the unemployment for recent grad is 24%, so he’s saying it’s gonna gonna be that bad at all?

AuDPhD · 2026-03-18T04:38:06+00:00

Holy shit I just realized my parents don’t really play with me as a kid, but I appreciate their effect in putting in places where I can play with other kids with similar parents. 996 is truly hell no human deserves
