Why Asian Americans Shifted Right

[Lucky Luciano]

6. I wonder if some of the right tilt comes from affirmative action.

There are a lot of Asian kids that are poor who crush it on competitive school entrance exams and come to dominate academically. For example, Stuyvesant HS in NYC is well over 50 percent Asian. A lot of people want to handicap Asians in the name of diversity…which makes sense if they were wealthy….but if they are not, it is just plain racist.

The Russians did this to Jews in their competitive entrance exams for college. For math, there were “coffin problems.” A coffin problem was a very creatively written problem that technically only required HS math skills, but also required extreme ingenuity to solve. Writing a coffin problem takes a lot of cleverness…great brain teasers. The coffin problems were only given to Jews to keep their admission numbers lower with the plausible deniability of discrimination because the solutions only required high school math to solve.
