Especially bad, since the indignity Henry Louis Gates suffered--being treated like an intruder on his own property by the police--is emblematic of the African-American oppression @sarahjeong would never suffer, but appropriated as part of her "social justice" minstrel show. https://twitter.com/iamcuriousblue/status/1025999368959156224 …
Exactly. It's a very simple analogy. The point wasn't that Harvard blacks and Harvard Asians suffer the same type of racism but rather that both experience racism.

Congratulations. But no one said your analogy doesn't compute. It's ludicrous and tone deaf. Sarah Jeong is a privileged victimologist who dully and nastily pantomimes life under the oppression that Henry Louis Gates, and countless African-Americans, actually experience.

Worse, your analog was an iconic example of the injustice that African-Americans--conspicuously not Korean-Americans--suffer. Analogies are intellectual heavy machinery. Operate them with care.
