Are we going to give a nod to Sandra Oh's characterization of the Asian-American's vs. Harvard case that is going on right now as well? It's nuanced and unexpected, and I love it.

[@wejamus]

youtubesucks that’s rly racist man...

[@wejamus]

youtubesucks I know for a fact that I do more volunteer work than most of my non-Asian classmates. Half of the kids on student council are also Asian. Saying no Asians have leadership qualities or care about the community is as false as saying all mexican people are illegal immigrants or all black people are criminals

[@KaoruLiu01219]

@youtubesucks Let's take this one at a time. First, it is false that Asian students are lower on leadership and community care. If you read the lawsuit case + arguments (which you likely didn't), the only aspect that was shown to be consistently lower was personality. Even this aspect can be disputed as the statistics are skewed to be biased in favor of the SFA, which built the case as a vehicle to take down affirmative action. The only takeaway you can have is that Harvard's admissions office likely held similar false biases like the ones you hold, that Asians only are good academically and have no other merits. In reality, Asian students simply performed on average above the rest when it came to grades and test scores and compared equally with other candidates when it came to extracurriculars, leadership, and personality (this was shown by the fact that Asians scored equally well as other candidates during the personal interview section, where "personality" is actually apparent). Next, all your "evidence" refers to Asian adults, specifically Asian business owners, not Asian students, so it is entirely irrelevant. It speaks nothing of Asian students. The claim that Asian business owners don't care outside of their own race is also ignorant of the social contexts. When first-generation Asian immigrants came to the US, they faced backlash and unfair obstacles especially in the business world, except when interacting with other Asians. Why try to take part in organizations that constantly deny you entry? Asian-Americans also tend to take part in other Asian groups because they are IMMIGRANTS; this is how they connect to the culture they left behind. / When it comes to Asian business owners paying lower salaries, YOU are looking at outliers. First where is your source for this? In general, salaries are not publicly available, so it seems you're basing this off very selective data. But let's take your claim about programmers (this isn't even the right term; it's software engineer, developer, etc.) making less under Asian-owned companies. Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Mastercard, Nokia and many more are ran by Asian CEOs, and the software engineers at these companies are among the highest paid. Of course, Asians care about the constitution. Most Asians who come to the US, care about the US and are grateful that they have built a place for themselves here. Why else would they come? In fact, many become American citizens, which actually requires you to have reasonable knowledge of the constitution. Most native-born Americans don't. Next, what does it mean to care about freedom?? At this point "freedom" is just an American political buzzword. Pretty much all developed nations have "freedom"; it's not the 1700s anymore. Politically, everyone tends to vote for their race, especially minorities, because minorities know that they are underrepresented and want people in leadership positions that understand their background. But also, white people will vote for other white people as well even if it's not best for the community. This is normal, and also your point doesn't mean much since it's subjective what best for the community means. Asians may vote for an Asian representative because that is the only candidate who will actually care about their needs. That's how our democratic system is designed. We don't vote for what's best for the majority; this eliminates minority opinions (I mean minority as in the inverse of majority not minority races) many of which are the primary sources of progress since the majority does not want to change. So we vote for what's best for us, and in the end, ideally we get the best overall result for everyone in the end. You will find that as a whole, community outreach is increasing among Asians, as a result of newer generations. Why? Because older generations did not care about community outreach. They were working to make a living. On the other hand, newer generations of Asians are simply Americans. They participate in community outreach just as much as any other person. This last statement about Asians being robots, is horribly racist. It has no truth, only a representation you've learned from the media. There are Asians with poor grades, Asians that play sports, as well as Asians who are book nerds. Having good grades and good test scores is not mutually exclusive with being a well-rounded human being with creativity, leadership ability, and self-reflective thought. Next, it is not xenophobic to not assimilate into American culture. It is also not invading. If you do not speak of European/white immigrants as invaders, then don't speak about Asian immigrants, or any other race, as invaders. On the other hand, American culture has been xenophobic towards Asians, either explicitly through laws (Chinese ban, Japanese internment camps) or implicitly (stereotyping in the media and in the workplace and denying representation in higher levels of leadership). Next, explain what a patriot is, or a person with a well-balanced thought process. My guess is that your definitions will contradict. Patriotism, in excess, is propaganda, and no thoughtful person would follow it. Now this last statement. The incredibly banal thought that you can be smart but bad at tests. And that creativity! Innovation! And leadership skills! are more valuable. This can be true. But disregarding socioeconomic differences, learning disabilities, etc. someone who has poor grades/low test scores indicates subpar retention of things they learn, an inability to apply concepts to new ideas, and a lack of problem solving skills. Tests have gotten significantly better at evaluating these factors. For creativity and innovation, especially now in a technological world where most things are pretty advanced, progress is hard to make without extremely technical backgrounds. BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS, oh boy do grades and test scores matter. They don't have to be perfect, but there's no use accepting someone no matter what your leadership skills are if you don't have the academic ability to survive at an Ivy League university. You'll flunk out in a semester. AND AGAIN, high grades aren't mutually exclusive with leadership skills or any other soft skills for that matter. Almost all accepted students are at the top in all areas, academically or otherwise. They are among the most passionate and most motivated students, and also have the most valuable, yet actually well-informed, ideas. Oh and also, when it comes to meritocracy, often the least qualified accepted students are white.

The anti-affirmative-action crowd never campaigns against legacy admissions. And those take up huge percentages at private universities!

[@5698-e2d]

So let's just dismiss their valid criticism of one injustice, because they do not actively campaign against another......

[@ellasteciuk3353]

The real injustice in elite college admissions is not affirmative action nor legacy admissions, but rather the massive advantage given to students from feeder schools. Students from elite boarding schools, such as Phillips Exeter, Choate Rosemary Hall, Deerfield Academy, etc., are held to much lower standards for admission than the rest of the applicant pool, and take up a much larger portion of the applicant pool than legacies. The majority of my friends at Amherst went to one of the top boarding schools (and most of my friends went to a private school of some sort), and my brother is going through the admissions process for these feeder schools for his last two years of high school (although I did not attend one), due to a combination of getting a huge advantage for top schools and my parents getting fed up with our local public school’s BS (long story). As a legacy student at Amherst College (second-best liberal arts college in the country, 11% acceptance rate last year), the legacy advantage is not nearly as big as people think it is; legacies do have significantly higher acceptance rates than the overall applicant pool, but this is LARGELY due to the fact that they have much better test scores and grades on average than the rest of the applicant pool. I’m not saying legacy doesn’t help, but if it’s just a case of one or two parents who haven’t donated any money to the school (my dad is the only other family member who went to Amherst at my time of application, and he has hardly donated any money, and his last donation was a long time ago), it usually only acts as a tipping point. I had a 1560 SAT, straight A’s, the most challenging curriculum available in my school, was ranked in the top 1% of my class, and was a committed rower for all four years of high school, and had what others told me to be one of the best essays they had seen. I got rejected by Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Dartmouth, and Brown; waitlisted by Williams, Bowdoin, and Colby; and accepted by Amherst, Middlebury, Davidson, Vassar, Bates, UNC, NC State, and a local school. Correlation =/= causation.

[@5698-e2d]

@C The electoral college has nothing to do with college admissions.

[@ryanyang3347]

@@ellasteciuk3353 Feeder schools don't offer that much of an advantage. There will obviously be more students from these feeder schools as these feeder schools have their own admissions department which are in some cases(such as andover) almost as selective as some ivy league colleges

[@ellasteciuk3353]

Ryan Yang I respect your opinion, however I disagree. I know it may appear that way and a lot of students at said boarding schools think this is true, but it is simply not. Yes, the feeder schools do have pretty low acceptance rates, with Phillips Academy (Andover) having one at 13%, if you are highly qualified by boarding school standards (not nearly as high as Ivy League standards), you have a very high chance of getting into one of the elite boarding schools if you apply to several of them (which most people do; this is why individual boarding school acceptance rates appear low). Most highly qualified students will get into at least one feeder school. I am friends with a ton of feeder school alumni, and while I love them, they are not as academically amazing as you would think. My best friend for the first month was a Choate alumna, and she dropped out of Amherst a month in because she said the school was too much pressure for her. She also said the Amherst workload was a lot heavier than her Choate workload, and even though she did well at Choate, she was at the bottom of the class in all of her Amherst classes.

cashkarthik mhm. Because that’s exactly what happens. Maybe you shouldn’t throw away your childhood. That’s your fault. Don’t blame another race for your shortcomings. Also, any minority knows not to select their race on applications. That’s just a rookie move.

[@fayetopias]

The Sweet Forever You are so fucking ignorant.

[@fayetopias]

cashkarthik Don’t even stress over their ignorant asses. They obviously don’t know what affirmative action is.

[@selenefae6761]

Yes I agree. I applied to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a 4.3 GPA and a 1440 SAT and I get rejected yet two of my classmates with 2.5 GPAs and 1000 SATs get in. It makes no sense.

I feel like Kenan's voice did that on accident at 5:46 LOL he tried so hard to conceal his emotions

[@mickeysmyspiritanimal223]

daisy v , he does try hard at that. He breaks into a smile at times! 😐🙂😊😆😂🤣

[@shadowchief2788]

I've been playing that over like several times dying! I was just about to say something about his voice cracking.. lmfao! Either way it made it more hilarious!!!!!

[@kleptrep94]

Fun fact: This is the first ever cut for time sketch not to involve Kyle Mooney at any point. But yeah Chris Redd's Asian line at the end was a great punchline.

[@marceloromero4515]

That's excellent observation! I was beginning to think that Mooney was being singled out.. Also, may I ask in all honesty, do you think this week's episode was any good?

[@kleptrep94]

Honestly I did think that this episode wasn't as good as John Mulaney's one but it was probably one of the good ones. And that was mainly due to Sandra Oh wanting to be part of the show. Like there's some hosts which are there just because they have to be and then there's others like Sandra that are clearly fans of the show so I'd think it was a solid 7 out of 10 episode. Like the Future Me and the Office Birthday sketches were my two favourite sketches of the episode. And I found probably Jossie Smollett's Making Excuses sketch the weakest. But I can't wait for a fortnight when BTS shows up.

[@Levacque]

I can't believe they would cut a scene that actually had an ending

The good old American way

[@smiller2044]

💯

[@Subxenox15]

Minorities are getting into school just because they are minorities, which is just as bad as people paying to get in. Asians are getting screwed though, rich or poor, they need twice the grade of a black person to get in.

[@junsu21]

Xeno Entertainment needs more education. There's absolutely no evidence that Asians need twice the grades of blacks (or latinos) to get into elite colleges. You are repeating a bogus talking point pandered by racists who love to find anything to keep black people subjugated. It's disgusting. Have you ever met a black student from an elite college? Have you ever seen the data for their grades and test scores? Such a neanderthal

[@sunnydreux]

Demetrius Evans preach! They still believe the myth that black students are benefiting from affirmative action exclusively. The fact of the matter is those Ivy League admissions are based on a many of criteria outside of academia. Who are your parents, who do you know, race quota, gender quota, legacy etc. The list could go on. Everything in America is politics...
