The vice president of the board for San Francisco's schools has been revealed to have been the author of a "deluge" of racist tweets against Asian-Americans a few years ago.
The Black Lives Matter supporter accused the minority members of "white supremacist thinking." And likened them to "a house n-----."
But she's refusing to resign.
The National File is reporting on the case of Alison Collins, the school-board official who claimed in a 2016 statement that "In fact many Asian American Tx, Ss, and Ps actively promote these myths. They use white supremacist thinking to assimilate and 'get ahead.'"

The National File explained Collins was denounced by all 19 top administrators at the district's main office – in a letter that was made public.
The letter explained the officials agreed with several other board members who charged that the statements "perpetuate gross and harmful stereotypes and leave no room for nuance or potential misunderstanding."
Others, including some top officials from the city, some state lawmakers and others, called for her to step down.
Collins' explanation has been that her statements were taken out of context and there was, in fact, no racism.
Collins noted, "A number of tweets and social media posts I made in 2016 have recently been highlighted. They have been taken out of context, both of that specific moment and the nuance of the conversation that took place."
The National File confirmed that her social-media accounts "are littered with posts supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, which is known for its acts of racially targeted mass violence and looting."
Another Collins comment was: "Talk to many @thelowell parents and you will hear praise of Tiger Moms and disparagement of Black/Brown ‘culture,' I even see it in my FB timeline with former HS peers. Their TLs are full of White and Asian ppl. No recognition."
The National File explained, "The school board official expanded on her racist rhetoric in the final tweet of the thread, stating 'Do they think they won’t be deported? profiled? beaten? Being a house n****r is still being a n****r. You’re still considered ‘the help.''"
Where are the vocal Asians speaking up against Trump? Don't Asian Americans know they are on his list as well?
