I grew up in West Virginia. My witness at the Supreme Court + defense of equal rights has elicited the ugliest racism I’ve ever seen against Asians, immigrants, Indians, Hindus..me. By white extremists? No. By racist “anti-racists.” And guess what? Their hate emboldens me more! https://t.co/VjkIaWsOGV

meanwhile if you're stuck going to Univ. of Minnesota:

I'm not endorsing any candidates for office until one of them calls out the Regents and top administrators of @UMNews who simply ignored pleas for help from students and parents. Gun fights on frat row, carjackings, fireworks attacks, armed robberies and more. We've had enough!

I’m sure people feel more comfortable talking about the Asian dynamic but let’s remember that the first round of debates around this was in the 1990s when Asian share of US was far less. https://t.co/RIziQFgKDZ

Top schools weren’t nearly as Asian in the 1990s as they are now because there weren’t that many Asians in US back then. Echoes of how Ivy schools’ quotas on Jews followed wave of migration in early 20th century. https://t.co/4w5V4r33iC

There weren’t that many Asians in US period until after the liberalization of immigration laws in 1960s. And even between now and 1990 we saw a more than 200 percent increase in Asian population. Ed debates are becoming more focused on Asians for a reason.
