Nope. I don't think affirmative action/quotas whatever liberals is a good remedy for anything. Revenge is a BAD idea and to me, that is what AA is. Some special interests may disagree with me but that's my opinion. It causes more problems than any good it was supposed do.

I can actually see affirmative action to a point for certain situations. When there were mostly white police or fire departments for mostly black neighborhoods, or postal carriers --- you would suspect racism might have been a factor and to change that you could try to find qualified blacks to hire even if when you had two equal job candidates you might lean toward the black.

Here's my take. Asians are not identified as a disinfranchised minority, however, for the most part asian immigrants come from some of the worst places on earth. America to them is to what it was of the Irish, Italians and eastern europeans of a a century ago. they see America as a place where you come to work hard and succeed - and you WILL succeed if you WORK HARD.

Middle class white America has been beaten down by liberal-inflicted guilt and a blue-collar philosophy of "I'm not worth it". Asians and Indians are free of both these things so they achieve without stopping.

It has little to do with your race and has everything to do with your attitude.
