There are Asians out there that have put in enough effort to get into Yale (which is quite a high bar) and then been excluded because ... well, they're Asian. That isn't going to compare to anything positive or pleasant. Racism should be condemned in strongest possible terms.

True, but horrific ideology in the government is a totally different kettle of fish than that ideology in a non-government organisation.

If my neighbours don't really believe in property rights, I'll call them hippies and laugh about their eccentric antics. If my government doesn't really believe in property rights I'd give serious thought to fleeing the country.

Same ideology, but different levels of power.

Passing laws against racism and them investigating and resolving lawsuits from universities violating that law.
