What's wrong with a conference designed to combat racism? Are you denying that racism and white privilege exist?
I'm saying this from the perspective of an Asian-American individual who grew up in Waukegan Illinois, where the per capita income is roughly $17,000, more than 50% of the population is Hispanic, and roughly 20% of the population is African-American.
Yes. It exists. But if some of those "underprivileged" minorities take it upon themselves to actually pay attention in school instead of torching their books and knifing each other, regardless of how horrendous the school district is, they can get somewhere.
Unlike Blacks and Hispanics, Asians are actively discriminated AGAINST in most colleges and universities thanks to Affirmative Action and "diversity requirements", and we still end up "overpopulating" higher-education.
Even Medical schools drastically lower their standards for "underrepresented minorities" and somehow they STILL continue to be underrepresented:
