Getting a 4.0 does not guarantee someone admittance to a university as much as that hurts some to know. Even if an Asian is sure that he/she lost their slot to some uneducated stupid black person with a 3.9 insteaf of a 4.0, Asians will always benefit from the 'positive' stereotype of being smart and educated.

I'm not sure they always do. For one --- picture being a Chinese kid who needs a little extra help with math. They'd probably accuse you of being lazy or something. Plus since Asians tend (depending on the country they're from because not all Asian groups do equally well) to learn English and assimilate --- in a generation or two they're slipping down to everyone else's level.

Strange argument. Please explain why this hypothetical "stupid uneducated" black person with the 3.9 got the slot over the Asian with the 4.0. Also explain why Asians should be punished for your alleged "positive stereotype" that I'm not sure even exists.
