College bake sale charged prices based on race

Link just brings us back here.

Based on your summary, sounds like someone was trying to make a point while missing the original point entirely.

but as an upper middle white woman, you see it as potentially widening the divide. I think that is just as relevant as any other viewpoint as the divide isn't just created or felt by one group.

IMO ( which clearly won’t count ) that kind of stuff just raises hackles and wastes time. It doesn’t solve anything.

However- I’m interested in
1 why Asians were charged more along with the caucasians?
2 how did they define Asians. I have seen many people who do not know what constitutes Asia. I can assure you there are plenty of people whose heritage is from the Asian continent that deal with discrimination all the time, so I don’t understand the ‘divide’ They are creating. Also plenty of people of Asian descent who are dealing with increased discrimination in the last few years because some people are too lazy to differentiate them from other groups they want to hate.

All in all I don’t think I could support their cause because it confuses me. BUT whatever point they are trying to make at least it’s peaceful and optional so they can rock on and be themselves.

I have a nerdy white boy in my house.  He was second in his class. The female first in the class got a full scholarship for premed.  They were within a few hundredths of a GPA difference.  My son had volunteering and work experience beyond hers.   He did not qualify for STEM scholarships beyond the small one the school offered anyone in the engineering field.  Our financial situation and him being white and male did keep him from scholarships.  He bucked up, went to a job fair, went through a two week trial process (no pay) and got an internship based on his knowledge of engineering and critical thinking.  This was all the first month of his freshman year.  He's in his third year and still with the same engineering firm.  This experience will be worth more than a scholarship.  Things are different for different sexes and races. No denying it.   

Turning Point USA - the group that did this - is a conservative group.  They did this on a campus with a predominantly person of color student body simply to stir up shit.  How nice of them.  

I thought that the article did a very poor job of explaining the situation.

So, did you assume that it was a group run by persons of color purposefully discriminating against whites and “Asians”?  Is that why you posted it? When something doesn’t make sense - as the article didn’t - it is probably a good thing to google. Turning Point USA doesn’t hide who they are. 

They did this to disrespect the majority of the students there by implying they didn’t work as hard to get into college as their white and “Asian” counterparts. 

It was a shitty thing to do.  

The students shouldn’t have destroyed their lovely baked goodies.  And, it doesn’t change that Turning Point USA’s intention was to insult all of them and stir up controversy.

Am I misremembering? Was it you with the article about what turned out not to be accurate info about the ethnic make-up in AP classes/affirmative action in the high school in Winchester that you pulled?

If you are getting your affirmative action-related news stories from one main source, you need another one! LOL! They don’t have a great batting average.
