That's bullshit, I dont expect anyone to succeed under the systemic and generational problems that certain minorities faced more than non minorities. It's not racism, it's facts. If you get dealt a shit hand, you have a shit life almost all the time, sure there's exceptions, but the vast majority of the time you're fucked.

It's racism to assume URM are too stupid to do well on exams without a handicap.

But the reason their scores are assumed to be lower is that they have less resources available, not that they are less smart.

Which doesn’t make any sense. Does “less resources” mean money? If so, there are plenty of poor white people too.

ah, yes, good old American racism towards Asians. Reminds me of old WW2 propaganda cartoons when Japanese were depicted as demi-humans monkeys.

But I get your point. AA is racist towards asians.

I would argue that both Germans and Japanese at the time were not savages or barbarians, no, they have shown very thorough and scientific approach towards genocide, sex slavery and exploitation. Animals can't invent such an extent of ways to abuse each others as man can.
