Hiring more African-American faculty, as campus protestors are demanding,
will necessarily reduce the percentage of Asian faculty.
It may be coincidental that the photojournalist the University of Missouri
social justice warriors attacked in public was Asian-American, but their
reaction wasn’t. Concerned Student 1950 tweeted, “It’s typically white
media who don’t understand the importance of respecting black spaces.”
Liberals have a long record of minimizing and ignoring Asians in such
movements. At Claremont McKenna College, protesters shouted down a student
of Asian heritage for saying people should be judged on the content of
their
character rather than their race. Even Neel Kolhatkar’s video mocking
politically correct education made the strange choice of showing an Asian
student receiving one extra privilege point for his race. In America, at
least, the Asian student would be docked—by 50 or maybe 140 points on his
SATs during college application.
Now some of the demands from Mizzou protesters and other campus activists
could also decrease faculty diversity with relation to its Asian
composition
. Mizzou protesters have demanded, for example, that the university hire 10
percent more black faculty and staff by the 2017-18 academic year, but
implementing such a quota system would end up leaving behind candidates of
Asian heritage, just like it has done for affirmative action.
Campuses Already Have ‘Too Many’ Asians
According to a summary put together by FiveThirtyEight, Asian-Americans and
Asians make up 16 percent of the full-time faculty of Mizzou. Charted
against the population of the state of Missouri between the ages 18 and 64,
Asian-heritage faculty far over-represent their 2 percent share of the
Missouri population. Compared to the percentage of Asians in the full U.S.
population—4.8 percent in 2010—they are also “overrepresented.” Whites
make up 75 percent of the tenure-track faculty at Mizzou and 80 percent of
the state’s population within the age range.
Asian-heritage faculty far over-represent their 2 percent share of the
Missouri population.
If the demographics of Mizzou’s full-time faculty were made into the same
percentage of each racial group as either the state or national population,
Asian-heritage professors would be the ones to suffer most—either by being
fired or not hired in the future. This phenomenon of minimizing Asians is a
long-standing problem of social justice pursuits, and Asian-Americans have
already suffered in education due to affirmative action.
Asian-Americans outscore their peers on the SAT, on average. In 2015, the
average score for Asian-Americans was 1,654, higher than all other groups
and highest in two of three categories—mathematics and writing (only
trailing by four points in critical reading). The gap in test scores goes
back to the old score system. Given that SAT scores and other measures of
academic performance are major factors in deciding college admissions, on
an
even playing field the amount of Asian-Americans admitted into colleges
will be higher than their share of the total population.
Affirmative Action Hurts Asians
A paper by Thomas J. Espenshade and Chang Y. Chung of Princeton University
found the Asian-American college acceptance rate would increase by 5.8
percentage points if colleges eliminated racial preferences. Asian-
Americans
are also affected by legacy admission policies, but, the authors wrote, “
preferences for athletes and legacies do little to displace minority
applicants, largely because athletes and legacies make up a small share of
all applicants to highly selective universities.”
When race is taken into account in admissions, Asian-Americans are
discriminated against.
That suggests that when race is taken into account in admissions, Asian-
Americans are discriminated against. That is why there has been a string of
complaints against universities like Harvard, North Carolina, and Wisconsin
alleging racial discrimination against Asians.
Supporters of affirmative action argue, “Pacific Islanders and some
Southeast Asian groups (i.e., Laotian, Cambodian, Hmong, etc.) are still
struggling socioeconomically, are still ‘underrepresented’ in such
institutions.” Yet Americans don’t typically cut any other ethnic group
into such smaller parts for analysis. When talking about Hispanics, for
example, charts do not often have separate tabs for those of Cuban, Mexican,
or Argentine descent, for example. The argument also doesn’t change the
fact that many individuals of Asian heritage would still be discriminated
against—whether of Indian, Japanese, Filipino, or other ancestry.
These Imbalances Aren’t Limited to Mizzou
Mizzou is not alone in having a relatively large amount of Asians in its
faculty. According to statistics prepared by the National Center for
Educational Statistics, 10 percent of all full-time faculty at degree-
granting postsecondary institutions are of Asian/Pacific Islander descent.
For each category of faculty—from lecturers to professors—Asian-American
representation is greater than their representation in the general
population.
Liberals accept minorities only as far as they can use them to advance their
cause.
Compared with the nation at large, Mizzou does have fewer black full-time
faculty members—3 percent at Mizzou versus 6 percent total in the country.
However, if the goals of the protests continue to spread and other
universities apply policies for racial quota systems in hiring, it will
decrease the proportion of Asian professors.
The reaction to the woman at Claremont McKenna who talked about her
experience of racism at the hands of a black man who told her to “go back
to your home” was telling. “Black people can be racist,” she said, at
which intolerant students began shouting. One could be heard to say, “She’
s done,” and eventually someone took the megaphone from her. So much for
listening and accepting someone else’s experiences.
Liberals accept minorities only as far as they can use them to advance
their
cause. The same thing happened to a degree to Suey Park. When she was
protesting a police shooting of a black teen and the Native American name
of
a school mascot, liberals used her as their Asian sidekick. When she
tweeted out #CancelColbert, admittedly a stupid hashtag, but not much
stupider than the campaign underway at Yale, it was mostly Colbert’s
liberal fan base that turned against her, according to a long profile in
The
New Republic, and sent her death threats.
Connie Zhou says Asian-Americans are “the ignored minority.” Where were
the social justice protesters when Asians marched to protest racial
violence
in South Philadelphia? Where were they this summer in Baltimore when gang
members directed rioters to attack Chinese- and Arab-owned stores or when
Korean-owned shops were targeted?
Those stories aren’t to be told. | n****g
