In reply to the discussion: NYT: Asians "overrepresented" at U.S. skating rinks. [View all]BlueCheeseAgain

The article itself interviews a lot of Asian American skaters and talks about how they've drawn inspiration from the ones who came before them. It's clearly a very positive piece overall.

Yeah, guilty as charged. To be fair, the NYT tweet isn't doing the article any favors...

I don't care who wrote the article and trying to hide behind semantics doesn't CYA.

The NYT's estimates can't be trusted, because all Asians probably look alike to them.
