Yes, she wants to make entrance exams harder for Asian Americans. But lower it for African Americans. And they don't believe that's discrimination.
They think the world owes them everything and that they should have to do nothing for it.
And people who have come here later (Asians) are inherently smarter than they are. That is exactly what they are saying with these policies.
Next they will boot out any white Presidential Pilot & dig up Bob Marley to fly the Pwesident around.
@@r3sfernjbb it's the truth they are smarter and have worked very hard to be
Lol if they make it easier for Asians to get into the NFL then we could call it equal I guess
“Black lives matter.
Asian lives, not really.”
- This woman, probably
That's a white mindset.
White lives matter, Asian lives matter
She's a f**king piece of work isn't she?
Exactly my thought
Well this was clearly demonstrated throughout covid in the US.
The fact that she cannot answer a “yes” or “no” on such a simple questions really shows her true colors.
If someone else was up there dodging “Is discriminating against African-Americans wrong?” they would be called racist, yet she is still a judicial nominee…
Which is black.
Her: writes an article on a Harvard report
Also her: I’m not particularly familiar with the report
You have a dodgy candidate here.
As an Asian in the US, I was forced to have an I&D conversation with a room full of liberals. When I told them that my family grew up poor (parents never went to school. My mom dropped out at 7 years old) and we’ve managed to come out of poverty and move into the middle class, my experience didn’t count.
Asians are discriminated against by liberals. We are hated by them and it sickens me that they accuse anyone who don’t share the same views as them as racists. The left wing folks are terrible racists and refuses themselves from seeing it
White and Asians are the most discriminated race in America. As an Asian myself, we are proud people and never ask any handout from the government. Liberals hate us because we become succesful in life but they never acknowledge the hardship and sacrifices we have to go through.
Agreed the liberals always saying the "rich white men in texas" are racists and all other bs but in my experience as an asian in a University full of liberals, african americans are the most racists of them all against asians and yet they get away with it, they're the most tribalistic group of ppl I've encountered in my whole life.
There's a book on it called the inconvenient minority.
I agree
Well you see, as an honorary aryan you can not be discriminated against. You should consider hitting the tanning booth than maybe you can refer to yourself as a person of color.
Her between the lines is…. “Asians must be discriminated against otherwise I would not have been able to get accepted into university or Law School (period).” An ugly truth for her but truth nevertheless.
That's right. She knows if there was no such thing as Affirmative action her grades never would have gotten her into that school or sitting in that chair today. She didn't have to earn her position it was given to her based on her skin color. I hope it haunts her knowing she took away from another student that worked harder and deserved it way more.
yep, truth is, blacks dont give 2 shts about asians or any other race. as long as it benefits them, they be cool. if not, BLM protests.
It's a sad fact of the matter that many minorities who actually *do* have the skills are constantly questioning themselves because of this system. The smart ones have the awareness to wonder if they only got picked because of their race and it's terrible to inject that level of psychosis and self-doubt into an otherwise achieving youth.
@@ForeverLaxx, it seems odd to me that you are more concerned about the people benefiting from racist affirmative action programs than you are about the people who are victims of racist affirmative action programs.
Yes
She, of course, cannot say racist discrimination against Asians is "wrong" (in reality it is damnable), because she believes it is fully justified in order to benefit herself and other blacks. Additionally, she does not want to go on the record condemning racist policies that benefit blacks because she intends to rule from the bench (with tortured non-logic) in favor of racist policies that unfairly benefit blacks.
It’s like listening to two completely different conversations. she just won’t answer HIS questions. 🙄
Legend has it she is still thanking the Senator for his question
their iq is limited, next time they demand that every black ppl don't need to go to school or university and just automatically be given high position / rank job
Hahaha...
Legend has it Joshy still running from the Maga crazies he incited... hahahaha oh man. How can this guy show his face in public after that
we, across the pond, watch this kinda stuff and call Americans stupid. This lady is nominated to be a judge?
Thank you for your post.
She hesitates to answer the question directly for one obvious reason: she supports discrimination against Asian Americans.
Like many similarly minded Americans, they are not actually against racial discrimination at all, they are against certain types of racial discrimination.
Correction: the only discrimination she’s against is that of her own kind. Anyone else, she is fine with cause they aren’t a brotha or sista.
I would say “like so many SIMPLE minded Americans”. She’s like a little 4 year old drooling toddler, who hates when somebody takes HER toy but is ok taking some OTHER kid’s toy.
@@lawrencetalbot8346 Probably because they have no alternative solution to improving representation without forcibly making universities meet quotas, its a Faustian bargain with the best of intention (presumably)
Same reason her and her leftest system likes blacks committing violent crimes against Asians.
Why, Cause they still blame Whites for it.
"White Liberals Use Black People as a Political Football in Their Ongoing War with Conservatives"
Malcolm X.
@@lawrencetalbot8346 So they're supremacists.
Discrimination as plain as day.
Never once did she even answer an otherwise simplest and most straightforward question. That answered everything.
So basically she is pretty comfortable with discriminating against Asians.
this is how most americans think lmao
@@kevincho9463 speak for yourself.
Most black people are. The most racist things against Asians I ever heard in my life have come from black people. A black colleague of mine said "oh I know YOU PEOPLE (meaning us whites) LOVE the little yellow people SO much! Why can't we be like the Asians? BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER SLAVES!" So it's basically that black folks feel like the "good minority" are held up as an example of how they could succeed if they really wanted to. I still don't get how the "we were slaves" excuse flies when no one has been enslaved since 1865.
Remember only Black Lives Matter haha
It’s like a white guy beats up a black guy and gets roasted in our country but when a black guy beats up an Asian guy it’s just an , Awww that’s a shame!?!?!!! It’s should be scrutinized any which way any color!!! White Black mixed, Asian!!!
Change “Asian” to Black” in the question and I’m sure she’ll have no problem answering it then.
Just answer? She would yell her heart out with that and we would cry along with her.
It is always fascinating to see previously oppressed people, now in a form of privilege or power, behaving just like their oppressors. Exhibit-B: israeli genocide against Palestinians for over 70 years.
@@cerberus8856 exactly, that is such a underrated analogy that I once tried to make and hot my comment removed by RUclips as a result. I always sympathise with oppressed ethnicities and religions, yet somehow once they are freed from their oppression they go full circle and develop the viewpoint that they're now the most important thing ever and anyone daring to speak out against them should be "cancelled". It just boggles my mind how the Jewish people who now how bad oppression is and had everything they owned taken from them in the world wars are now doing the exact same thing to Palestinians in their own country
Yup. Exactly
@@TheRobe- Look at the OP comment to which I'm responding, which was "change the scenario from asian to black". Black people has been monumentally oppressed in the US. So, I'd have no problem sympathizing with her in that regard. And "crying along with her"? that's just an expression to emphasize my stance of solidarity with her had she been the victim here, that's all.
@@TheRobe- 57% of the white students at Harvard didn't get in on merit
I am from Asian country, Black people appear to be claiming 'don't discriminate us', but the more you listen to them closely and respectfully, the more we find out that they're just demanding to be given privileges and power for no reasons. Instead of taking the idea that they've been discriminated against, historically, so they won't do it to others, the idea of discriminating against those who looked down on them "in history", so they can become dominant than every other race is really sickening and childish. That is not making the world peaceful place, but only making it worse. It's clear that they have learned nothing from history but to gain power over everyone. I have felt like I am discriminated by some people in the US including Black people, and I just thought that they were reacting like that because they are not familiar enough to see us as a same human because of their past living environments and that's alright, it is just not respectful person. However, I will never want to become the one who discriminate others. It's surprising that she is not even ashamed to show her own racism. Well, if she is ashamed, then she wouldn't be responding like this... You don't bully because you were bullied when you were child. Where is the education? Teaching only history and not how to respect or learn how to develop personal growth? Sad world.
Best comment. I saw a S. Korean frustrated with news of black on Asian violence remark as you did.
I'm Asian and have never lived in the US, but I can only imagine how much Asian Americans are suffering.
It's a bad place for us because of them
I live in Houston Texas the Asian community in Houston Texas real strong. I haven't heard any issues like in California or New York or Chicago.
Actually we're not suffering, on the contrary we're doing pretty darn good. Personally, my 2 older sisters are a lawyer and a doctor and I'm in investment banking and we all were making well into 6 figure salary by our early 30's. Also, most of my Asian friends from university are in professional fields like law, engineering, tech, finance/banking and have achieved the same with nice houses, nice cars, and with children going to top universities.
As for discrimination in the workplace, we're all in managerial or director level positions in our careers and haven't faced any job-related discrimination. Seems like when it comes to making a profit, companies actually want the 'best' person for the job regardless of your ethnicity or skin color. 🤣🤣
It’s pretty telling that she refuses to simply answer “yes” to the point blank question of “is discrimination against Asian Americans wrong?”
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking " wtf she's going on about". Basically if you cannot express a concept or idea in simple and concise sentences, you do not grasp the concept or idea.
Just as no republican is willing to admit the consequence of not letting blacks into college with affirmative action would be no blacks in colleges. Blacks would make up less than 1% of Ivy league colleges if it weren't for affirmative action.
She refused to answer yes or no, because of the premise. He framed the question in a manner that was intended to present her with an obligatory rung to the ladder he was clearly trying to construct. OF COURSE she thinks discrimination is wrong. It's like the people who miss the plot with BLM and say All Lives Matter. The IQ of this country has gone to shit....and if it is not a matter of comprehension, then it is insidious.... just as scary.
@@ChristopherMaybe I understand they were both trying to lawyer their way around the issue in order to both control the narrative of their conversation.
However, after he asked her “is discrimination against Asian Americans wrong?”, a very clear-cut question, she should’ve been able to answer with a simple “yes”.
And another part of this that should be remembered, is that college acceptance quotas under affirmative action policies do, in fact, 100% discriminate directly and blatantly against Asian Americans, and so his specific criticisms of that were completely justified in that context. In that regard, his question of “is discrimination of Asian Americans” is even more justified to ask, and it’s even more damning that she refused to say that it’s wrong.
She's against the question on grounds of quaintness. Treating people the same is reigh cyst and so fifteen years ago. Picking favourite groups and treating them way better than anyone else is the way to eliminate discrimination and create 'justice' and social harmony.
And they (people of exactly the same mind as her) pick the groups. You didn't know that?
"I am a coward who can't even own up to my own words". How pathetic.
To be fair, antifa would probably kill her if she didn't snake her way around these questions.
INDEED 🇺🇸
FJB
why is it so hard for her to answer such a simple question!?!?
If you ask someone if it's wrong to discriminate against a group of people and their answer is "It's prohibited" you know you can't trust them.
How many ways can a person not answer a question? So sick of this!!!
And the whole "thank you for your question" stall tactic and time waster is really annoying.
truth is, blacks dont give 2 shts about asians or any other race. as long as it benefits them, they be cool. if not, BLM protests.
No consequences. They all get confirmed on a party vote.
Q: How many ways can a person not answer a question?
A: an infinite number
Ms. Hodge: Let's explore each of them.
It’s also endless
The whole “senator thank you for the question” shit has to go.
Drives me nuts. If I was a Senator in a hearing like that I would specifically instruct them to cut the crap and answer the effin question.
It was to waste time.
When you are doing mental gymnastics to lie, every second counts.
@@jaykay6387 No you wouldn't. You would be an outsider Senator then, you saw what they did to Trump when he didn't fall in line. You would be in danger, your family would be in danger. You would fall in line, just like everybody else.
Thank you for the comment. This isn't my opinion
They do it to waste seconds of the speaker. That way they can get less stuff through.
"Is discrimination bad?"
"I'm not familiar with the case" 😅
They can never give a straight answer.
Thank you Sen. Josh Hawley for speaking out on behalf of all Asian Americans.
Yes, finally a rep that fights for what's right rather than pandering.
You realize that he is an election denier that went out of his way to fire up the crowd on January 6, right? This dude is a clown.
@@TheMisfit174 Yet the "Trumpicans" wanted to dismiss OBAMA'S bill that they are arguing about....allowing colleges like Harvard to allow discrimination against Asians. Trump allowed the case to go through, whereas Biden's appointees immediately REdismissed it.
Gee....I wonder, as a guy whose wife is Asian and will have a half-Asian child, which party I should trust more when my child is ready to apply to a college
And thank you for the question, haha
Let's be real he doesn't give a shit about us either. He's using this particular issue to shit on the dems but will happily back the Kung flu crowd
If she keeps trying to avoid a simple question from the senator, she would use the same method to discriminate against Asian Americans.
democrats are the PROVEN party of RACIST FILTH and this sub human racist that biden is promoting is simply more proof
We are all created equal under God.
It’s the simplest answer ever if you believe in the core principles of our constitution but these people have formed a new religion to justify racial discrimination.
@@bcon2608 Agree. The problem is they too use the term equality, but its essence is "Some animals are more equal," to borrow from Orwell.
@@wiekhiongwong548 classic communist tactic - how many words & American principles has the modern left (libs) redefined and/or desecrated in the past 2 years? They use communism to control culture and fascistic crony-capitalism to control the economy.
That being said: while they hysterically scream “Trump”; in actuality, the biggest threat we all face is modern liberalism; as evidenced by blm riots, covid (unscientific lockdowns, mandates, censorship, and hateful + dehumanizing rhetoric towards the unvaxed). They see themselves as virtuous, so atrocity is just another step to their end goal. They also treat “dissidents” as treasonous criminals & have been proven via FOIA requests to have weaponized the FBI to censor social media companies & harass political opponents.
@@bcon2608 Well said. All the rules, standards, and theories they put forward or made into laws have one exception--namely, themselves.
You can tell they're lying / hiding something when they can't answer a simple yes or no question. This is just ridiculous. I always love Kennedy when he says "I'd respect you a lot more if you just came out and said it. I don't care if you believe something different, so long as we can actually debate the beliefs"
I’ll never forget joy and excitement I felt when when I got accepted in my dream law school years ago. I was so proud, I had worked so hard all these night staying up late studying had finally paid off. Yeah well not really… 1 year after graduating law school I found out I was accepted over 16 Asian American students each one of them with an average of +3 points higher on the LSAT, +1 overall ACT score and a +0.125 accumulative GPA. I was crushed, I didn’t deserve to be in the position I was in, I made it because of my race. Maybe it’s just me but that hurt me so badly. It is so wrong to me I was held to a lower standard because of my race
If more people were like you we would barely have any racists at all… let the best win as long as its fair. Im a white men i couldnt care less if all Harvard was asians as long as they deserve it. Wokeness is a cancer that make USA weaker year after year
Haha just enjoy your black life matters dividends
You Better quit the school or tell the truth, and sorry for all the 16 marginalized Asians out there, bro. Because you didn't deserve it.
She doesn’t want to answer the question clearly because anti-Asian discrimination benefits her a lot as she can cut in line in front of a lot of more qualified candidates. No moral principles, just extremely selfish narcissism from people like her. It’s difficult to have beneficiaries of anti-Asian discrimination admit that discrimination is wrong.
Yeah you are right Sister
So, so true!!
How does it benefit her?! Are you delusional
Please. You actually think if you got rid of affirmative action for college entrance exams Asian enrollment would suddenly shoot up? White admissions people would still figure out a way to exclude Asian kids.
@@Dhuxul9 Because then she has a higher chance compared to a more qualified asian
"Is discrimination against asian americans wrong?" she cant answer this very simple question, tells you a lot.
Very true. When “White privilege” and “Western patriarchy” are the sole rationale underlying Affirmative Action yet AAPI men and women are the ones being penalized, clearly, people like her would not be able to answer ANY question intelligibly.
She doesn't want to because she wants to discriminate against them in order to ensure that "discrimination like" effects (keeping black people mostly entirely out) do not occur.
Ikr? As a full-blooded Asian myself, I’d be scared to be involved in a court case with this judge presiding over it. How can I have any assurance that this judge won’t discriminate against me?
Tells me she's like the typical black person who is racist against asians. If you don't discriminate against other races then it's impossible to discriminate in favor of the black race. Equality is not the goal.
Well, yeah, she's black.
Black people notoriously hate Asians.
There is a common thread in all of these hearings... "thank you very much for the question, Senator/Congressman..." may very easily be interpreted as "I have no intention of giving you anything that even remotely resembles an honest answer."
Thank you so much for clearly exposing her opinions on this matter.
He doesn't even grill her, not at all, he just gives her an opportunity to say 'yes' and she comes out of it looking like a completely horrible person XD
She probably wanted to say no, but it’s controversial and wrong
@@Takiki Hows is saying that "discrimination against a race is bad" wrong?
@@AdityaPillai009 saying no is wrong I can’t explain sry
@@AdityaPillai009 Please read the comment correctly
Being an Asian American, I always witness that our group is often excluded from conversations when it comes to equality. When we are, it is often to our disadvantage. With that being said, we are okay. It only makes us stronger. We want to be judged not by the color of our skin but by our character and skills.
Then do not vote for any Democrat; they are wolves in sheep’s clothing, and personification of hypocrisy.
But in this case, you are being judged by the colour of your skin or, at least, your skills are being used as a reason to raise the bar against you.
Only one race matters when discussing racism. Let's be honest here. It's about pandering, and nothing more. Asians don't make up enough of a potential voting demographic to matter. That's why they are excluded. Also, they generally tend to be more educated and rely less on government hand-outs, so it's a waste of time to target or include them in the discussions.
They play life on hard mode. Black Americans can only play on easy apparently
@@b.melakail shut tf up bih how is black americans life easy? weirdo
As a person of south Asian origin I stopped voting for Democrats since 2010. Zero regrets
If I was a senator, I would end my question with "before you answer me, dont say thanks for the question to buy time"
I clicked on it without knowing what this was about and realized she is a judge. A judge who refuses to answer a simple question. Lol
A judge who in court would demand that a witness answer a question posed to them by an attorney.
They are not making any friends are they ?? 🇬🇧🇬🇧
She's a judge nominated to a district court, one for Pennsylvania (the Philly area). That's one level below the Third Circuit which is at the federal level. Anything that appeals from the Third goes straight to SCOTUS.
It's incredibly important because she could, in the future, be a nominee for SCOTUS. If she can't even answer this kind of question, and she ends up making it to the highest court level in our lands, then we're screwed.
@@redwall1521 you'd be screwed anyway because most Supreme Court judges have similar views
@@ushireborn you're talking about politicians who give politician answers, not necessarily that they would agree with me.
And besides, you're actually factually incorrect. SCOTUS has yet to rule on the Harvard case, so let's wait a month before we make claims that the conservative supermajority somehow disagrees with me, shall we?
Edit: you might be talking about Fisher v University of Texas, but I'd recommend you look at the cases that they cite as precedent, and then even review the 2013 version of the same case.
The fact that she can't offer up a clear repudiation of Asian discrimination as a black woman is particularly worrying, considering the prejudice that the black community demonstrates towards Asians. Coupled with the social justice doctrine that sees Asians as "white adjacent," because of their meritocratic culture, that make them an inconvenient minority!
You're kidding me right? Asian people look at Black people the same as the KKK
@@daarksideyt One side is discriminating, One side wants to banish you, Which one would you choose. I prefer Republican... They are honest and straightfoward.

What is her credential to all other judicial members in PA, the entire PA does not have anyone who is better?

I remember when we were told that Black Lives Matter, the people who said All Lives Matter got grilled. Ironic isn’t it?
Maybe it should only American identity without if and buts?
It's also ironic that the people who were saying all lives matter feel some type of way about her saying discrimination against anyone is wrong.
It clearly shows who the real racists are.
@@leefswgoh7558 BLM was never about all lives nor equality but a group the seek supremacy and to be above law and others .

"Thank you for your question, Senator", is a time waste, masked by politeness. So sick of hearing everyone use this ploy to use a Senator's time. These ppl literally hate the fact that a republican dare question any of their opinions.
It irritates me too. They know they are being asked questions by senators. They both have to be there. It’s not like the senators are being generous in asking questions. No need to thank them. They won’t know or care what the other person’s name is when they leave.
ME TO!!!!
That is their way of killing the the time allotted the Senator.
I loathe this practice; it's fawning and sycophantic. The PR weasels (speaking of fawning and sycophantic) that are advising them to do this should be fired. Just answer the damned question!
It's so dumb. Just lets a few more seconds to tick by and may allow the witness to think about an answer. Just answer the freaking question. We don't care if you appreciate the question or not. Fact is.....we know you DON'T appreciate the question.
She is saying: discrimination against Asian is not racism and not anti diversity.
Again it looks like discrimination against Asians isn't frowned upon. The hypocrisy of this diversity movement is sickening
“Discrimination is wrong against everyone” is the right answer, but not for his question. She seems a tad horrified that he found her college “opinions” tho
Discrimination is a fact of life - when the meek inherit the Earth - the none meek are going to be discriminated against as they deserve.
@No Pill 4 me I agree with your every word. To hate and discriminate anyone, based upon gender, color of skin, nationality, religion or beliefs is against what our civil liberties is all about. But the very loud but small percentage of the extreme liberals are making profound changes to the mindset of a large percentage bc they are giving in to the bullying behavior of the actual racists.
@No Pill 4 me It is always economically disastrous to attempt to legislate and enforce laws concerning - greed - ethics - or morality. Soon this Lieocracy and its tax whores will spend this puddle of diarrhea into oblivion - then the fittest will thrive.
Discrimination against pedophiles is not wrong.

If it was black and latino students had to jump through those hoops I'd bet my next check she'd be more full throated in opposing discrimination.
On point comment.👍
What I find most humorous about this situation is that, despite being forced to have much higher scores than anyone else, most Asian Americans seem to have no issue with working hard enough to get there and succeed despite the barrier. Obviously it's not fair for them, but they haven't decided to tell everyone to screw off and ask for gibmedats and hand outs because of it. They just put their head down, work, and succeed.
I wonder if *that's* why Ms Melanin and her ilk hate Asians -- they're able to succeed despite being blatantly held back while her "people" are handed everything and still live in squalor.
Yea well the day that group scores higher than Asians on IQ tests or any standard of measurement pigs will be flying.
@@ForeverLaxx Wow! You are spot on.
Latino not necessarily. If they look too European they will be labeled "white passing". iv seen this in the case of middle eastern people as well
From My personal experience with having 2 kids in middle/high school. My junior kid told me her friend (Asian), who was a senior, a valedictorian(99 GPA), president of student government council, have volunteer community service preformed plus joining after school sporting activities yet she was denied admission to Harvard and other Ivey league school AND yet her other classmates(African American) who stand with a 94 GPA and same other school activities and credentials got admitted to Harvard with less academic achievement. Let's not mention the Asian girl also has a 1580 on her SAT by spending 5 hours a day on every weekend for the last 3 years participating the test while sacrifice social time with her school friends and families. Talk about hard work NOT paying off just because of the color of your skin. Is this what MLK famous speech of "judge a person by his/her character and not by the color of his school". No wonder the Asian in Asia are leading the world in technology innovation while America education system does not reward it students under the pretense of diversity to systemically discriminated against Asian so a few more black students can take that open sit.

Thank you for the question.
She literally can’t bring herself to say “I believe that discrimination based on race is wrong”. Because she personally believes that racial discrimination is just fine when it benefits her race. How is this not racism and how is she not a racist?? I’ll wait for a coherent answer.

Yeah, it's fully clear in an open and public discussion, the absurdity is brought to light.
You’ll be waiting for a long long time
Kenny doesn't like black people or hispanics. Majority of people get in are legacy getting in. He knows why he's afraid of white people. Asian students have cultural advantages & and financial they hire tutors to pass their grades. He playing the line like lowered without contexts. When he knows it's easier for asian students to get in based on what he knows asians will have an advantage. And legacy students are white 33 percent the highest and they pay to get test scores. Let's talk about the FACTS.
I'm seriously tempted to run for office just to make it a criminal offence to thank someone for their question.
"I know your question time is limited, and I feel no shame in abusing you by wasting as much of your time as possible. I will not directly answer your question, for that would display independent thought and opinion - and as you know, those affiliated with my party are forbidden to possess, own, or operate under the influence, of independent thought and opinion. The Party is all."
I'll vote for you.
You also have my vote. And thank you for your comment.
"Thank you for your comment, Senator Caskey, I'm glad you brought this point up"
Lol😂
Let us all thank the senator for his question
I love how she wrote an article about something that she admits she didn't know the details of the case. The fact that she was so wrong and feels that her opinion has any basis goes to show the sense of entitlement she has and the respect she doesn't have for the truth.
Goes to show she is racist against Asian Americans. I see it all the time
Unfortunately, judges regularly write legally binding opinions without understanding the facts of the case as well.
Right. She wrote an article based on the ruling but she does not know the details. Talking in circles.
The hierarchy of oppression is slowly overshadowing the hierarchy of merit in this country and it will be the doom of us.
Her incompetence is the result of the system that she applauds....
Let me interpret her answer: "discrimination against other groups, to the benefit of African Americans sounds great". They're not for equality and never have been. It's about advancing their own group at the expense of others, period.
all the while they make up claims of "white privilege" that they say is "everywhere" but can't give any legit examples of it. Funny how so called privilege looks a lot like oppression and oppression looks a lot like privilege
@@lucid227 😂 yeah, white racism is so rare they have to assume they're mind readers and that we think racist thoughts. But we don't have to assume anything, black racism is touted from podiums and hailed as virtue!
@@BaltimoresBerzerker True, I seen it happen many times. The worst part is it is White Leftest Mind Washers that have allowed them to not only forget what real racism is, but to feel free to be one without the risk of being called for it(those go together like two diseases, hand in hand).
you're generalising here and sound overly bitter. every group has its racists.
@@faithful451 I don't really care what I sound like. Am I wrong?
Can you define a protected category?
When I was younger I had some faith that reason probably prevails when adults outside of my family meet and talk. But reason does not prevail, not even at Harvard. Faith in humanity decreased.
Imagine being not able to answer a question where you only have to say 'yes that's wrong.'
Libs are too stubborn. I'm asian and I think liberals (namely white libs) are the most racist people to exist. Thank God for the GOP for calling this BS out - many of my minority friends feel exactly the same as I do about white libs despite them thinking that we are 'allies' lol.
Her answer is “no”, but she knows it’s unpopular to say so clearly.
it's not a matter of "unable" it's a matter of "unwilling".
but it goes against her higher education university programming and her woke peers
It drives me insane.
Rofl... She can't say discrimination against Asian Americans is wrong. I'm literally dead.
Democrats are racist
Of course not...it's just dem po black folk dat face discrimination🤡
That's the kicker these days. They literally refuse to say objectively progressive things because they don't want the sound bytes pointing out the terrible logic of their own activism. They pretend to be intersectional activists, but then when you point to the victims that aren't easy to virtue signal for, they are silent. I thought it was bad enough when heads of medicine were asked what a "woman" was and they just stared back blankly.
@@satanshelperog5511 right on my November India golf golf alpha
Well of course not. To say it's wrong would be admitting that it's wrong in the other direction as well and we all know that preferential treatment for having more melanin can't possibly be wrong.
Thank you for the question that I don't want and will not answer.
She tried to burn time by repeatedly saying "thank you for your question".
I had a friend growing up 2350 SAT, top 1000 tennis player in the state, violinist, ranked 6th gpa in a school of close to a thousand graduating class, president of like 6 different clubs. He told me he only slept four hours a night to do it all. Every school he wanted to get into rejected him. He wasn't the only one. Many of my friends in the prime of their youth dedicated everything to achieving their dream school, and to be denied because of their race, I think was one of the most damaging psychological things that happened to them.
well its technically just affirmative action
@@AC-mp7cx It's technically stupid.
@@AC-mp7cx affirmative doesn't bring any benefits or have any value, it is just pure racism and discrimination.
My fellow Asians need to know that liberals are hypocrites.
Just go to a decent school and build your own company.
Asians are great at making businesses.
Find other Asians and network.
Heck, Asians need to make a school like Howard University.
@@AC-mp7cx And murder is technically just murder.
The sad part is discrimination is NOT illegal because we have a bizarre Supreme Court (at least some justices) who have upheld it in quite a few cases in employment and college admissions. She knew she was lying, and she absolutely believes in this discrimination. She even said you don't believe in diversity if you are against affirmative action. That statement showed her true colors. Honest, fair people believe it is perfectly fair if 35% of Harvard students would be Asian. If they deserve it, then they should be there.
The problem is that they are here in such numbers in the first place, creating an alien anti-White overlord class (along with the Hindus). Why do so many Whites uphold completely abstract notions like "non-discrimination" when it always always always benefits other races and always always always damages Whites? No other race is so foolish.
@@BugJuiceFlavor You're the kind who wouldn't care if America was 75% Chinese one day, as long as they came here legally. You're a pod person, not an American.
democrats do not agree and as with this sub human PROVEN RACIST democRAT, it is "ok" to discriminate against asians, just as democrat socialist hero did to force to concentration camps. face it democrats are the party of sub human evil racist filth and this democrat witch only proves such
First of all, why is a person this ugly can be in any public office? This wouldn't happen in any rational society.
In that narrow aspect she was right, when there is no affirmative action, then there could be a situation in meritocratic system, that would get 80-90% Asians taking the spots. It would be right, but it also would decrease diversity.
The way she dance around the question says it all while It's so easy just to simply say "yes"
How was she able to say so much and say absolutely nothing at the same time?
As a Vietnamese who came to the US in 1975…..academic discrimination was ALL I see throughout my Highschool & College years. I could NOT signed up for Scholarships because I was told by my High School councilor that I am Asian! Most scholarships were for blacks because they were intellectually handicapped!!
Really? Sucks? At my high school this foreign exchange student from Japan got all three of art scholarships by teacher he was only student chosen by our teacher. Most of us had been there all 4-5 semesters working hard for those scholarships and the three and only ones went to him. It really sucked but he was better in our art class than us and those black kids at your school were better than you.
@@step30dub ….NO, the black kids have LOWER GPA than I was! Did you missed the part when my counselor said that blacks kids get SCHOLARSHIPS BECAUSE THEY WERE INTELLECTUALLY HANDICAPPED??? Go back and read it! I DID NOT GET ANY SCHOLARSHIPS BECAUSE I AM ASIAN AND WAS DEEMED SMARTER. This was 1985 (my Highschool final year). I went to the local University of Houston, Texas with very small PELL GRANT ($400 per Semester). I had to work part time while in college. Took me 5+ Years to get my Electrical Engineer degree. My FIRST JOB WAS AT NASA CENTER IN CLEARLAKE, Texas!!! Working with Astronauts!!
@@du-me-Utube-1975 That must be rough. If you came in 1975, that was roughly the time when a war raged in your country, right? You must have had it hard.
In 1978, I applied to universities which didn’t use affirmative action and didn’t ask your race. People might still think that I was boosted by affirmative action, but I wanted to know I was accepted based on merit. Yeah, the 70s was when the whole affirmative action process started. We still haven’t settled the issue.
@@step30dub What, are you 14?
Translates into: "I am fine with discrimination as long as we can hide it behind big words and as long it is to the advantage of those groups I care about"... *best example of racism you can think of.*
When did she imply that ?
@@Playboyy1985 When she says that diversity matters but in the same breath refuses to acknowledge that discrimination against Asian Americans is wrong.

I really enjoy to see that she struggled to answer that question. Thank you Sen. Josh Hawley!
I'm so glad that light is being shone on this issue once again today. I'm Asian and I have an 8th grader. My kid had never gotten a grade lower than an A ever. She has a great work ethic. Never does anything until her school work is done, and she always over-prepares. She's always so proud to tell us how well she did in school. In about five years she will be applying to colleges. After seeing her work hard almost every day her entire school life, I would be devastated if she doesn't get in to the college of her choice simply because they've already got "too many Asians.". Or worse, hear the school diminishes all her hard work because she's Asian. Straight As? But she's Asian.
You say you are an Asian in the united states. Is there an Asian country that you can move to that will give your Asian daughter a more fair shot than this non Asian country that your Asian ancestors choose to move to? You can always leave.
@@IAmAlmightyGod Ah, the old if you don't like it, leave" argument. Actually, I'm not even sure it's an argument. It's more like a rhetorical sound bite.
I agree. I will not let my kids grow up in a country that discriminates against their work ethic and merit based on their race. Affirmative action has got to go.
You said it brother. We've been discriminated against and even blamed for Covid-19. And all we wanna do is raise our children in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Yet they tell us to go back to our country, when many Asian Americans were born in the US and have only known the US as their country.
@@krystaa1175 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM, AND YOU ARE NOT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST LIKE BLACK AMERICANS SO OPEN UP YOUR SHUT EYES AS TO WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS.
They are definitely discriminated against.
if the question was "discrimination against black people is wrong, yes?" she would have said yes in a heart beat.
Am I the only one who is sick of hearing "thank you for the question", then proceed to not answering the question?
By dodging the question at all costs, she’s unintentionally exposing herself and letting out her true intentions and beliefs on this matter for all to see. Not sure if she realizes that or not lol
She might honestly be so fucking low IQ dogshit dumbshit I'd believe she truly thinks 'PHEW, dodged that bullet I sure did. Damn, almost lost my cushy judge position where I can administer JUSTICE!'
She realizes it.
I don't think she is smart enough to know anything. And anything she does know is wrong
She’s dodging the question because she’s a lawyer. They never state clearly what they say in fear of any consequences
@@Takiki maybe she should find a more credible profession then.
Imagine if there was a quota for Asian Americans under 5’6” in the NBA that discriminated against tall African Americans to make sure that Asians were represented in professional basketball even if they weren’t that good . All quotas are discriminatory , unfair and ultimately can be a denial of the individual’s rights, imagine being an Asian student who for years worked their butts off to achieve the highest academic standards required for entry to an Ivy League university only to be told the quota for Asians is filled and the only available places left will be given to students who of a certain race despite them being far below the marks of the Asian students who are being excluded, everyone who merits a place should be given one based on their academic abilities, race or ethnicity shouldn’t be a factor at all .
Even if the Asian Americans don’t get into an Ivy League university, they still do very well in life because they are exceptionally clever and hardworking. One should be judged on merit not on the colour of the skin.
@@Lizzi31 An NBA player could also join a different team in the NBA and still do decent for themselves. Don't justify racism please.
Come to india ... You Gonna Love it .... i Belong to a category of 15% population and only 10% seats actually given .
@@theindianmen117 You get reservation? Ews, right? Their quotas are different. People can't switch to a "General" category. Quotas kick in only if there are insufficient candidates. IMO, EWS should apply to every quota. At least that way, reservation in promotion will end.
TBH, it should be EWS 30% and 20% each for men and women (overlapping). 0.5% for transgender. Quota, not reservation with switchable categories.. There can never be civil war between men women. XD
There are more tall black people in the NBA because there are inherent physical differences between races. The logical conclusion of your asinine comparison to academics is that there are inherent mental differences between races. I'm not even saying you consciously believe that, but if you find yourself implying some nonsense like that on accident, then perhaps you should reevaluate your stance.
The double speak of this woman is running.

My friend's niece graduated top of her class in a private school and was denied admission to UC and CalState universities because she is Asian. It worked out for her in the end as she got a full ride to a prestigious engineering university in New York (RPI). Nonetheless, the poor girl cried for days and tasted her first reality in life that good things don't always come to those that work hard. This country is going down the toilet at this rate.
I've known about it for a long time. My fellow Asians need to wake up.
The worst thing is not college discrimination, it's the antiasian hate crimes that are caused by Dem policies.
Do not live in Dem cities. America is dangerous now.
RPI is in Rhode Island. But we got your point. My best friend daughter got admitted to RPI too but she denied it because she has to paid the full tuition of $70K a year. She instead when to a State college with a good CIS school. At the end it will work out well because her family will save over $160K in 4 years. In the corporate work, your skill and knowledge in a specific field is just as good as where your degree came from.
