> Black people getting the short-end of the stick while Asians (allegedly) getting preferential isn't "cutting it both ways".

In both of the cases mentioned, my wife's race was really just acting as a proxy for "immigrant", and the people on the other side weren't fellow asians showing solidarity. In these cases, it was landlords who were themselves (non-Asian) immigrants, feeling empathy for someone else going through the difficulties of being an outsider.
