College admissions procedures show irrefutable signs of bias against Asian-Americans
The practice of affirmative action in our country has a very complex and at times contradictory history. Modern day policies are most heavily influenced by a 1978 Supreme Court ruling that declared race-based quotas in college admissions to be unconstitutional.

“You approve of that?”
Of course not. I posted the NatGeo article because it accurately described the network of family-based loans that funded almost all of the South-Asian-owned small businesses (mainly motels, convenience stores, and liquor stores) with which I am familiar here in my Georgia small city. I assume that some of these enterprises received SBA loans through the 7(a) program, but none of the ones I am personally knowledgeable about did. The race-based corruption in Santa Cruz doesn’t surprise me, and there is a tradition of this in Atlanta as well.
