Biden DOJ favors discrimination against Asians and Whites

 Washington Examiner Editorial:

Despite repeated promises to clamp down on racism against Asian Americans, President Biden’s Justice Department decided to withdraw a lawsuit targeting Yale University for rampant discrimination against Asian American applicants.

The same social justice dogma that considers it racist to refer to the novel coronavirus as the “Chinese coronavirus” also views the higher education industry’s systemic bias against Asian Americans as a positive good. When the Justice Department announced it would be dropping the Yale case, the American Civil Liberties Union applauded it.

While there are no publicly available statistics for Yale’s admissions, we do have ample evidence of Asian American college applicants being held to a higher standard in general, as well as damning data from its fellow Ivy League university, Harvard.

So why does Biden spend so much time claiming he and Vice President Kamala Harris will fight racism, including against Asian Americans, only to toss out a lawsuit fighting the most consequential forms of anti-Asian discrimination? He finds the need to virtue-signal in this way precisely because he is tossing out the lawsuit. This is just like how Nike, once loathed by the Left for its use of sweatshop labor, became a liberal darling through the symbolic gesture of inking a multimillion-dollar deal with failed NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The result? No one talks about its sweatshop problem anymore, even as Nike lobbies against laws hampering its ability to use the slave labor of Uighurs currently facing genocide in China.

Wokeness thus covers a multitude of sins, allowing Biden to have his cake and eat it too. And while some may not care about the demographics of future consultants and investment bankers that Yale churns out, anti-Asian discrimination masquerading as social justice is trickling down rapidly to the masses.

Liberals have become notorious for their own special brand of racism.  When selection on the basis of merit does not yield the result they want, they toss merit aside and favor some groups over others.  In doing so they are putting their favored groups in situations that are over their head in many cases.  Their selection process discriminates against Asians and whites with better scores.
