Asians benefit from ‘white supremacy and proximity to white privilege’?

From Mark Perry.

"From John Hinderaker writing on the Power Line blog:

The success of Asian-Americans is a severe embarrassment to the race industry. Race hustlers focus on “gaps” between whites and blacks with regard to income and educational attainment, which they attribute to “systemic” racism. But what about the gaps between Asian-Americans and whites? Asians, on average, earn considerably more than whites (see top chart above) and as a group they do better in school (see bottom chart above). Is their superior performance due to “systemic” racism directed against whites?

Presumably not. But then, what becomes of the assumption that “gaps” between ethnic groups must necessarily be the result of racism? There is no answer to this question, which is why race hustlers generally ignore Asians.

John then quotes a New York Post article “DOE-sponsored group said Asians benefit from white privilege” which reported that:

A city Department of Education-sponsored panel designed to combat racism told parents that Asian American students “benefit from white supremacy” and “proximity to white privilege,” an outraged mom told The Post. The comments drew backlash from some parents and Asian activists, but not the Department of Education, which neither denied nor denounced them.

John continues and asks:

What does it mean to be in “proximity to white privilege”? Presumably nothing, other than that statistics relating to Asian-American achievement are embarrassing to race hustlers. And if Asians “benefit from white supremacy,” it must be a weird sort of white supremacy that actually has nothing to do with race. (Which is true, as noted here.)

And concludes:

America’s increasing ethnic diversity will ultimately doom the race hustlers who rely on a black and white world.

MP: And then there are these racial gaps below that the race hustlers never seem to want to discuss, and which could explain the racial gaps in income and educational outcomes."
