      The Left's war against standardized testing, honors programs, academic excellence, school choice, and meritocracy is largely anti-Asian racism disguised as 'anti-racism'.https://twitter.com/ycinnewyork/status/1375423144421380098 …

      AP's will be on the chopping block next. Like SATs, #SHSAT, and admission exams, it is another academic test where Asians are over represented. The national anti-test movement is anti-Asian. The goal is to reduce the # of Asians, many immigrants, for upward social mobility. pic.twitter.com/chzyUIhI7R

      I don't think that's true. I don't think the far left actively dislikes asians. It's simply that asians happen to be the group that most conspicuously falsifies their axioms.

      I don't think it's a stretch to say that altering admissions standards in a way that optimally reduces the number of Asians admitted is anti-Asian racism. I don't think the left or universities dislike Asians, they dislike that Asians are overrepresented based on academic merit.

      I could believe admissions officers actively discriminate against them.

      Many Asian Americans think so. I've heard that some Asian Americans who have non-Asian last names are careful to give their children non-Asian first names so that their children might have the option of hiding their ethnicity when applying to colleges.

      So it is with all "model minorities". East Asians almost always pick a familiar sounding Western name to give them better social chances. Jews changed their names for centuries (eg Harry Harlow was Harry Israel) to evade discrimination. This totally rational tactic is so maligned
