Suppose that ICE scaled up their anti-Asian efforts, to the point that half of all Asian New Yorkers spent time in an immigration detention center *while innocent* before they reached their 23rd birthday.
Do you think that this would have an impact on Asian academic performance?
Or no impact?
London and NYC are similar cities with some important differences:
London does not have nearly the same level of anti-Black racism that NYC does. It's not close.
Asian students in both London and NYC excel in school. How would you guess that Black students in London perform relative to white ones?

Americans love to talk about ending affirmative action, and being anti-DEI and anti-woke, and to talk about objective academic performance.🤷🏿♂️ Americans don't like to talk about the fact that if you reduce the racism enough, that Black students outperform white ones. Not even zero racism! Reduced. And no, Black students don't start to over-perform because Black students are "genetically smarter🤡" That's not a real thing. Race isn't even real. Racism is real. Black students start to over-perform for exactly the same reason that girls do, Jewish people do, and immigrants from everywhere do.
