National Asian coalition says educational bias is contributing to spike in hate crimes
Fox News
A national coalition of Asian American advocacy groups called on the Biden administration to drop a lawsuit alleging discriminatory practices at Yale University as part of taking a stand against anti-Asian hate crimes.
"It’s so important to not excuse systemic racism, like racial preferences in college admittance or hiring, and marking Asian Americans as ‘less likable’ in certain college admission metrics," said Mark Ang, the president of the California non-profit group, Asian Industry B2B, which develops pro-business activities and initiatives and is part of the coalition. At a press conference Tuesday, Ang said, he believes that much of the anti-Asian violence is rooted in attitudes towards affirmative action programs. "When you say ‘let’s take merit out of the equation and let’s judge people by the color of their skin,’ that’s when you start seeing the increased violence," he added.More Related News
