I don’t think that’s the case, and I don’t think the mods here are biased. But I _do_ think this TJHSST school hits too close to home for you. How about we try something different: you PM me a topic prompt about anti-asian discrimination, preferably not TJHSST or any nearby school, and I’ll make the topic post.

I consider myself on the political right, two of my grandparents were Chinese immigrants, and I just applied to (and was accepted into) college myself. I am rather on the fence about the school admissions discrimination debate. If you want to see what it’s like on the other side of the debate, now’s your chance. I can introduce you as a devil’s advocate in the OP. Or if you aren’t comfortable arguing for the other side, I am, and would be honored to debate you.
