San Francisco school board vice president, Alison Collins, is refusing to resign over a series of racist, anti-Asian tweets that surfaced over the weekend, where she called Asians “model minorities” and accused them of using “white supremacist thinking” to get ahead of other people of color.

Collins also made anti-Asian remarks during a dispute over merit-based admissions to certain San Francisco schools, calling the system “racist” against people of color who refused to position themselves in a favorable way towards white people.
