“It might contain entries like ‘a Chinese is to be treated as an ethnic minority under this circumstance but treated as white in that circumstance’ etc.”

Of course, in college admissions that’s already true. Except that Chinese (or rather Asian-Americans) have an even higher bar than whites to overcome in applying to a top school. You’d think they’d be elated by their elevated “better than white” status, yet oddly they are not.

And of course we all know that Jews fell out of minority victim status somewhere about the time they got into all the country clubs… no matter what historical obstacles they might have faced, they’ve all been washed clean.

The lesson is obvious – if you want bona fide minority status and all of the luster it brings, do not be successful, do not get a reputation for intelligence, hard work, or ambition. Because if you do, then you become as good as, if not better than “whites.” And naturally nobody wants to be in that horrible state.
