Asian American kids spend more hours studying than white or other ethnicities of kids, a completely factual statement, and that we need to try to increase the study hours of others to close the achievement gap.

Chinese American parents in the 1990s were so race aware that they filed a lawsuit to upend the desegregation consent decree for neighborhood schools just as they are raging in favor of performance segregation to elite schools that are not neighborhood schools. Im not denigrating them; you just appear unable to read the plain meanings of words rather than invent your own tortured and fictionalized version of what they say.

I believe there are more good than bad in each race. The problem with her Tweets is that we are now in 2021, not 2016. This change set the Rossington Collins band apart as they entered the 1980s. Ask her to look around before she insults us again. (If anything it will increase it, as Willy said above. However, if merit-based admissions is dropped, will this lower the prestige of this public high school? Many blacks teach their kids that America being the land of opportunity is just a bunch of bullshit, but the experience of Asian and Nigerian Americans proves its not bullshit, and if we can convince blacks to behave better (study 15-20 hours a week, work full time, pay attention in class, learn proper grammar, dont have kids before marriage, dont do drugs, save and dont blow money, do workbooks and flashcards summers), then the poverty of African Americans will soon be over, because whites are not discriminating against them. Shes just sorry she got caught. I believe that was in part because the proposed changes to the Lowell admission procedures were viewed as an attack on the over-representation of Asians at that school. But Collins is not wrong in saying, Hey dont ignore our struggle! Overall people just seem to get along with each other and having friends and acquaintances from all groups is the norm. The band, for being as famous and talented as they were, had more problems than any "Simple Man" would find bearable. Im not bragging, I just want people like her to know, I did it because of hard work and not through white supremist thinking) and I didnt have to marry a wealthy white real estate developer to get ahead.

Collins married Kathy Evelyn Johns on October 10, 1970 with whom he had two daughters, Amy and Allison. The Asian cultural commitment to education predates US History by a millenia or two. I worked with Plaintiffs Employment lawyers who would comment on how surprisingly educated their clients were. The mayor has the power to If the hiring manager is Asian and you are a person of color you can forget about getting the position. Less than ten minutes later, the plane crashed into a densely wooded thicket in the middle of a swamp. Does anyone know about any news stories highlighting hate speech or bullying of Asian students? But it was also a political miscalculation. She has too much pride to admit when shes wrongthat was evident even before those tweets came to light. She was not afforded any context or nuance in the judgement, nor is she getting any arestorative justice, all of which Collins is asking for for herself. Both my parents graduated from Lowell and went on to Berkeley. (Collins Chinese name, , is pronounced in Cantonese as Go Lai Si. The first character, which is an actual Chinese last name, translates as tall or high. The second translates as to encourage. The last means to think.

It is cowardly to make excuses For at least half of the anti-Collins crusaders (including Diane Yap, who surfaced these old tweets in the first place), it was never about a high-minded adherence to the principle of anti-racism, it was about their own gross tribalism and nothing more. If you are white, the question you ask is what was I before I was white? Whiteness is a faulty ideology that should be dismantled. Look, maybe some bias here as an old Lowell alum and a CCSF drop-out, but why are Lowells current demographics far less representative of SF population than the private college prep Lick-Wilmerding High School?

In 2006, every last vestige of the City Family lined up to decry newsman Pete Wilsons harangue regarding gay supervisor Bevan Dufty and his lesbian friend Rebecca Goldfader having a child. Kathy had a fatal haemorrhage during miscarriage of the couples third I also think it was harder for the black community more than any other community because of systematic racism. That said, I still cannot wrap my head around the belief of removing the merit system or teaching that wanting to work hard and persevere is succumbing to a White Supremacy belief and condemning entire communities for it. Or do we think she is so awful she needs to go so we get someone better? She should step down for being a terrible educator. Replace words in the brackets with any other minority and stereotype and Im not sure that there will be so apologists trying to legitimize the idea. Hanging out, TV, video games, social media, conversations, etc. However, meritocracy in the United States is a myth. There is a need for students of all races and cultural background to receive a welcome mat upon entry of school instead of seeing schools/teachers/administrations pull up the mat depending on who is attempting to cross the threshold. If her daughter witnessed a bullying incidence then was it ever reported? It is a model which, if followed, would lead blacks to much higher incomes and wealth. Thats different. Its also interesting that the defenders of the murals at Washington High are so insistent that they should stay because a slave-owner wasnt really a racist. Its inconceivable that many Nigerians, Jews, Mormons, Chinese, Indians, Koreans, Lebanese, Persians etc. We are people , right? If you were really true believers in the idea of equality, you would be trying to fix the issues in the public schools rather than hiding in private schools. A racist has no role on making policy decisions where 50% of students are Asian Pacific Islander. I personally would prefer a line of teaching that still teaches the inequities and bias, but builds ppl up to unite not marginalize, but I digress. How do we have a school board that is so politically UNsavvy? Thank you Randy Cameron for standing in solidarity with those who were harmed by Commissioner Collins words. If black women avoid drugs and wait to marry before having kids and eat well, and teach their kids with spare time, this will be equal. As an Asian-American, I am plenty versed in the concept of house vs. field n*****s, because unlike your assumptions about people like me, Ive invested time in learning about Black history. It is never okay to generalize an entire group of people, to speak for ethnic group to which you do not belong, and then explain why they are wrong for thinking the way you just attributed to them. But to say that it is solely because of race is wrong-it IS racism when someone says that another race uses white supremecist methodology/thinking to get ahead. To quote Kierkegaard, once you label me you negate me. She make it clear and loud that shes a racist and prefers some race and not all. She was speaking as a mom in 2016, fearful for her daughters well-being, and she lashed out. The strange and terrible saga of Alison Collins and her ill And they have the nerve to talk about White Privilege. But do we want to fire everyone who messes up? The attitude some blacks have holds others down. Lam was there to support. Well played right winged SF parents and Madame Mayor. She punished thousands of people at Lowell for this. If America prevents blacks from succeeding due to racism, you wouldnt see incredible success from African immigrants who believe they control their destiny. During the immigration process and for the record, Blacks and Latinos have NEVER been afforded the privilege of choosing an American Name in addition to their legal name. Feel free to check it out, its on NBC news. The next Board of Education meeting is slated for 3 p.m. today, and it remains to be seen how good and pleasant that will be.

Now lets take the rest of the world who does not care about inclusivity in volleyball and just wants the best performing athletes, who do you think wins at the Olympics? If she wanted to walk me through it or walk anyone through it, the chance was there. So Allison Collins was way out of line. Lowell students have been recognized for their achievement because they work hard for them. Empathizing with how others perceive your words. Acknowledge and change, not discriminate and unapologetic. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/29/us/san-francisco-schools-racism.html?searchResultPosition=3. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone is really going to take him and his friends seriously. Collins and his new band were refreshed and ready to go on their debut tour, so they hit the road. Her comments in 2016 shows her true self. mb s comments only reflect his/her ignorance, arrogance and stupidity. I never heard Trump DENIGRATE a race. I will tell all of you defending Collins trying to educate your beliefs: you should all be ashamed for hiding behind a progressive idealism but tearing people apart with your divisive words and behavior. So to the Asians that were able to rise above and make it into a merit based school, Alison Collins does NOT LIKE IT. She shouldnt use an anecdote to generalize a whole race. Maybe no wifi at home? No more than I as an Asian American, have the right to call her any type of racial epithet. What does the data say? When did ill-farted become a euphamism for racist? Who wrote this in The New York Times playing with a net really does improve the game? fell off. Have we suddenly forgotten that mayoral candidate Ellen Lee Zhou and during her campaign, Zhou ran into controversy for paying to erect a billboard that depicted a racist scene involving Mayor London Breed. That school is 37% white. 9. You have to use the scientific method. These are the new standards she and the others have set; time to live by them. I personally think this is the failure of the Academic Left: a deep contempt for the working class or those who do not pursue a higher education. The systems and structures of power, the institutions that combine to reinforce white supremacy, have long controlled and enforced the constructed definition of whiteness. Interesting how Lauter echoes the Israeli disdain for existing populations and their ongoing oppression with his support of local relatively recent (compared to Blacks) migrants by choice and their descendants over the descendants of chattel slaves who capitalized the nation and have been consistently, summarily disenfranchised. If there are any that have tried to stand up against the majority on these issues, let me know. Black kids bully Asian kids all the time. And if I then doubled down again and again that I was Very Accomplished and that I Worked Very Hard and Humbly to be a leader in my field and that my Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies entitled me to be taken very seriously about medicine, I would just sound like a clownish, arrogant, unbelievably lazy idiot. We will NEVER be given a fair chance. No, there are a large variety of answers. The drugs led to the car accident. Collins needs to go. Lam says Collins was unapologetic and that voices were raised.. Utter nonsense. She needs to resign and spend some time thinking about how her selfish and divisive political agenda has been so detrimental to the real work that the board needs to do especially in this time. It is trivially easy to find evidence that these biases exist I dont even have to leave any of the comment threads discussing Collinss tweets to find it! Theres nothing meaningful about Lowell. Too many as opposed to what?! Your grandstanding masks a contempt for the unwashed masses. Tragedy struck Allen's life again just as the Rossington Collins Band started. And she did not say all Asians. Furthermore, Asian Americans studying hard to get ahead, is not White Supremacy. It has nothing to do with racism. Shortly after dissolution of Rossington Collins Band in 1982, Collins started Allen Collins Band in 1983. Scan this QR code to download the app now. If someone thoughtfully disagrees with your position it does not make them a racist. Its not. Many Asian Am. Stop making everything racist. In fact, well do anything to justify and overlook your (not) racist remarks. Asian-Americans like this dont show up to protests when unarmed Black folks get shot dead. And studying hard to get ahead in society is not white supremacist thinking. What the far left is saying is that no one should have to sacrifice to get ahead, that its owed to people based on past sins. Were all human. Allen's unique, firey guitar playing and powerful songwriting helped insure Lynyrd Skynyrd's place in rock and roll history. Never mind that the toasted sandwich loving kids studied and passed exams etc to get into the school-Alison thinks that kids who like pasta should be given a chance to go to this school just because there are too many toasted sandwich liking kids at Lowell. Like if the field negros would just shut up and concentrate on picking more cotton, someday they might make it working in the house.

The revolution is not going to be started by academics or supporters of ruling-class parties, but by the masses they hold in contempt. The goal should also be to get those whites to study more hours, marry, save, etc. Ive not been a fan of Collins. How does studying = white supremacy? The reason she should resign is her advice keeps black kids down. Thanks for your comments. The Lowell hot mic incident back in October where she called those in attendance racist is just one of many examples where Collins has used inflammatory language.
