I've encountered this sort of ideology before in education. My plan is to send my children to Chinese public schools in Shanghai. They will live with relatives.

They will obtain a better education, better peers, with none of this article's indoctrination at a cheaper cost.

I will not risk my (white) children believing they are inferior to anyone else in academics.

I do not trust the American education system to bring them up. I have seen my (white) relatives learn they are inferior to their (asian) peers in the American system. I have seen my (white) relatives either buy into the American education system's ideology and also I've seen them reject it in its entirety.

This must be avoided at all costs.

I think in general China could easily play a winning hand here by refusing to give into this nonsense. Not just in education, but in a corporate setting, too.

Honestly, it probably won't be such a bad thing for the world to have SOME country moving the ball forward on science and technology. Seems like the US is being increasingly enveloped by the ideology - see the recent "math is racist" campaigns.

Side note - it is hilarious to me that Dr. Seuss is apparently too harmful to be read by kids now, but it's totally fine for them to be exposed to explicit rappers like Travis Scott and Lil Yachty in their McMeals and cereals. Because "green eggs and ham" is more dangerous than "poppin pills is all we know" apparently...

Except that China is actually brutally racist, and openly so.

I loathe woke thinking, but I wouldn't deny that racism is a problem in the US. Paradoxically, I think you could safely say that China is a Han Supremacist state.

Those that are not Han, are a threat to Han Supremacy and are literally thrown in prison or directly suppressed.

I think continental Europe might be a good place to get educated. There is some self-awareness, but it's not overrun with ideologues either.

What?

This sounds really odd. You are going to send your white children to Shanghai so they can learn not to feel inferior to Chinese children? Why would being a minority in a authoritarian communist society make your children feel more secure?

I am not sending my children to Shanghai so they can learn to not feel inferior to Chinese children. Your question is loaded.

I went to high school in the US. I've seen too many of my (white) friends claim they are inferior to my (asian) friends in mathematics. No race is naturally better at any race at anything. I consider their capitulation a byproduct of the US educational system that fails to teach its domestic students mathematics to-par with their international peers. I had to fight my mathematics teachers and counselors for further mathematics education in high school. The US system is completely unacceptable. That is why I plan on sending my children to a Chinese public school and to be cared for by my relatives.

>Why would being a minority in a authoritarian communist society make your children feel more secure?

This is besides the point. US citizens can securely raise children in China. Some Chinese minorities can securely raise their children, like Manchus and Mongols. Other Chinese minorities cannot, like Uighurs.

edit: I read through your previous comments and I see you have made previous disparaging comments about conservatives in the US. I am far more suspicious of your comment now.

This kind of crap doesn't fly in Asian educational systems. Go to class, do your homework, get an "A" in science and math. Everything else doesn't matter.
