I guess it takes discriminating against Asians to get this addressed. White folks don't have enough pull anymore.

I have NEVER understood why they never counted Asians as minorities.

Unless the definition of the word “minority” has changed Asians would qualify-——and in 30 years Caucasians will qualify.

Seems pretty plain and easy to understand:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I wonder who was a student at Harvard in the early eighties who may have gotten into law school as an Asian American? Indonesia is Asian, right?

I don’t quite understand this. Caucasians are already a minority at Harvard

You can't make America great when you put unqualified people in elite universities and prevent intelligent students from entering. End Affirmative Action NOW!

harvard is blatantly violating the right of White and Asian student purely on race. They will just not learn that you shall not do that. College is based on MERIT— not race!!

When it comes to college admissions, Asians are discriminated against even more ruthlessly than whites. Asian kids from varied economic backgrounds with stellar grades, SATs, and impressive extracurricular activities get rejected from the same prestigious schools that chase barely breathing black applicants down the street.

I was told over 40 years ago by a minority recruiter for a state university, that Affirmative Action and Diversity were adopted to facilitate discriminating heavily against Jews in the East and Asians in the West, who otherwise would be “disproportionately represented” in higher education.

>>The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled universities may use affirmative action to help minority applicants get into college. Conservatives have said such programs can hurt white people and Asian-Americans.<<

Think about that. Even though Asian Americans are TINY % of the population (< 6%) they are not considered a minority since their cultures by and large emphasize hard work and education.

All ANY needs to know about the REAL agenda of the left. They are NOT for minorities.

Ronald Reagan, as Governor of California, was confronted by someone at a press conference who was worried that UC Berkeley would be flooded with Asian students if the UC Regents relied only on grades and test scores.

Reagan responded, “I don’t care if the whole student body became Asian, if they were in fact the most qualified students.”

Doesn’t matter, at least the US is finally taking on ”affirmative action.”

The US should definitely join on the side of the asians, because:
1. It is the right and fair thing to do,
2. It will help bring the asians to our side when they vote

A woman I went out with some time ago was a graduate of Radcliffe...which eventually was “absorbed’ by Harvard.She told me that a classmate of hers was the Assistant Director of Admissions at Harvard and that classmate had told her that were it not for the school's affirmative action policy the entire Freshman Class at Harvard would consist of Asians and Jews.

And even if the court rules in favor of Asians, whites will be left as the only group discriminated against in college admissions.

I was just wondering the same thing. The ONLY group that can be LEGALLY discriminated against are white males. We need to RIOT, seriously.
