TikToker mocks school district for separating Asians from people of color
A popular Asian TikToker ridiculed a Washington school district for separating Asians from people of color in its student performance report. On Nov. 19, user @youngqim shared a screenshot of a NextShark story about North Thurston Public Schools (NTPS), . which grouped Asian and white students together in a 2019 report in an effort to boost “the growth rate of underperforming groups”. The news didn’t sit well with @youngqim, . who mocked the district for ignoring Asians as people of color and perpetuating the model minority myth. “So a Washington school district decided today that Asians are not students of color,” he says in his TikTok. “This would have been great to know growing up because whenever someone pulled their eyes back or called me a c****” . “or told me to go back to my country, I could have just been like, ‘Wait, guys, I’m one of you'”. The clip has since gone viral, receiving over 200,000 likes and plenty of angry comments from fellow TikTok users
