Asian Americans are rightly angry about racism. Making colleges less diverse isn’t the answer. By @parkjeannie

Asian Americans are rightly angry about racism. Making colleges less diverse isn’t the answer. By @parkjeannie | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
The most profound lesson for me of these past two years is that alumni and students could come together across generations, across race and ethnicity, religion, gender and across all the other boundaries that can divide us to fight for what’s right. Today’s students are better off with the splendid diversity around them. And if they can stay united, maybe they will finally upend the status quo and bring us closer to a society that truly offers equal opportunity for all. That’s the real American dream my parents handed me when they left everything they knew on the far side of the Pacific Ocean more than 60 years ago. It wasn’t about getting into Harvard, and it shouldn’t be.
