Demonstrate to me that you see yourself as a member of a system that favors whiteness and I'll do that.
Serious question: how old are you?No one needs demonstrate anything to you. It's you making illogical claims which needs some evidence.
Something tells me your a white dude.

You won't be able to understand the power you have as a white person until you are able to see yourself, not just as an individual, but also as a member of system that favors whiteness over all other colors.
Don't think so. A lot of them reject the "model minority" stereotype perpetuated by white people since it's a myth and it ultimately hurts them.Perhaps many Asians would disagree.

Looking closely, one can see that the Asian-American model minority myth is simply that: a myth. While Asian Americans earn higher median household incomes than whites, blacks, and Hispanics/Latinos, these statistics obscure the fact that Asian-American families include multiple earners (white vs. Asian American per capita income is close; household income is not), likely the result of the many generations living under one roof and the retirement savings of elders. Southeast Asian Americans drop out of high school at an alarming rate; nearly 40 percent of Hmong Americans, 38 percent of Laotian Americans, and 35 percent of Cambodian Americans fail to finish high school. These Asian-American subgroups, along with Vietnamese Americans, earn below the national average.
I don't lump people into stereotypes. I tell the truth about patterns within groups. And if you want more examples of Asians rejecting the ultimately white supremacist myth of Asians as the "model minority", here you go. /shrugAre you kidding me? One minute you are lumping all (privileged) whites and (put upon) blacks into neat little stereotypes and then present a single Asian American complaining that they are expected to have an advantage (is that anything like white privilege?).

Why are you still asking me questions like I haven't already designated you a lost cause?You never did answer my question - what do you believe must be done in order to minimize racism in America? What's your plan?
Eh, your analysis of the first article is a good example of confirmation bias. When you receive new information, instead of actually comprehending the new information and altering your worldview, you twist it in order to fit it into and maintain your erroneous worldview.So did I, using your original link, at that.

You have control issues.Really? That's too bad. Frankly, I think the reason you gave up is because I asked you a hard question, one that cannot be answered quite so easily, and you knew that any answer that you gave to that question would put you in a difficult position, considering what you have previously stated.
But that's your choice.
As for myself, I refuse to not answer an earnest question - I expect people to answer my questions, and if I refuse to answer someone else's questions, then that would make me a hypocrite. If a question's made with sarcasm or spite, then I can ignore it - but I won't ignore an earnest question. How about you?
You drew an erroneous conclusion from the quote. Confirmation bias.Not so. Just as most US blacks are not on welfare, committing crimes or lacking a HS education most whites are not supremacists that expect US Asians to be smart or "model minorities". I did not analyze that article I quoted directly from it.
You drew an erroneous conclusion from the quote. Confirmation bias.
As far as most whites not expecting Asians to be "model minorities", I find that claim suspect considering that white people came up with the term and continue to perpetuate it in every realm of society. I also find it suspect given the amount of Asian-Americans and Asian immigrants who attest to having that stereotyped invoked around them.
You have control issues.
What would you call a US racial/ethnic minority group that leads the list for household income?
I'd call them "three or four generations living together"
...without need of gov't support and sending their kids to college. I suppose you prefer the brave young mommy with a baby (or two) and missing baby daddy version of independent living on the dole.
All of which are commendable, but show that their high household income is not the result of success but instead the result of overcrowding.
They are more likely than the general public to live in multi-generational family households. Some 28% live with at least two adult generations under the same roof, twice the share of whites and slightly more than the share of blacks and Hispanics who live in such households. U.S. Asians also have a strong sense of filial respect; about two-thirds say parents should have a lot or some influence in choosing one’s profession (66%) and spouse (61%).
Perhaps you can cite this alleged "overcrowdng" usng census data, but I seriously doubt it. From what I was able to find about 28% live with at least two generations.

Imagine that.
This sounds familiar with old people who haven't evolved into the modern day.
