It’s easy to say that the white right-wing is using these Asian kids (and it is), but the (often-disturbing) doc whose trailer I linked to above slants otherwise in terms of how they think. As someone who watched Try Harder, it does make sense that the young man in the CNBC video wants to become an anti-affirmative action civil rights lawyer–a Bizzaro-world Sherilynn Ifill!–to defend his people so that elite society will accept even more of them, which is what this is really about. I have to assume he celebrated yesterday.

Buffer group or not, does the fact that these young people of color believe only 15 to 20 colleges in the United States matter something that should be discussed? I wish I could say these young Asian-Americans are wrong but when you look at everything from the leadership of tech companies to the Supreme Court itself they are clearly assessing America’s increased stratification.
