What is NOT funny is that the Asians, especially the Chinese and Japanese, have REAPED the benefits of affirmative action. That is, MOST never needed it but ALL got it because of their race.

Not sure where, but in the SCOTUS case involving the university of Michagen, The school held asians to a higher standard then whites, and minorities to a lower standard. It was a point system, and you got more points for being white then asian, and awhole boat load of points for being black and variations of spanish (you got to look at it yourself to believe it).

That was the part that stuck out to me.

Also Berkley, without shame, admits to holding a higher standard for asians/pacific islander/orientals.

Hell, I still don't get how indians and chinese are somehow recognised the same.

Harvard and Yale, do also hold a higher standard for asians (but are to racist to bother seperating them). I know the one kid who got a perfect SAT score and got rejected by Harvard (okay, he wound up going to Yale, but you get the point).

It varies, but I'm not aware of any school or even job that gives preferances to asians for ethnic or national reasons, Michelle Malkin can be sourced on that.

Asians are not held to a higher standard, as a rule. They get more points for their race than less points for academic achievement. Their presence on campsuses is highly valued because they tend to bring up the general gpa of the campus. You have pointed out some aberrations. Berkeley doesn't do that anymore.

There are dumb Asians -- and some go to college. But the pressure on them to succeed is so great that they will drop classes before receiving bad grades.

Imho, the entire system is screwed, er, I mean skewed to help everyone but straight, white Euro males. All that one has to do is look at what is offered in the way of grants, scholarships and other $$ means. Straight Euro males get the least help. Lol. Perhaps that's why so many succeed -- they have had to do the whole thing with no help or moral support. That does tend to build backbone.
