Now if a university, or an employer, wanted to discriminate between two qualified candidates by giving the slot or job to the person with lowest income, the person who most "needed" the opportunity, then I personally would have no problem with that.

Agreed. I have suggested something similar in the past as being a measure to "fix" the broken bicycle...

The only issue I have with that is that it's rewarding 'need'. A very socialist thing to do. When you reward success, people compete to be successful. When you reward need, people compete to be needy. In such a case instead of using 'need', why not flip a coin? The poor qualified applicant will still get in 50% of the time. No one has been discriminated against and no one has had to show 'need', only 'qualifications'.

I find it beyond the point of absurdity that the white elephants of Asians, both Indian and Pacific, and Jews, are standing there trumpeting away while the Balkanization crowd yammers away without distraction by the deafening sound of their own internal inconsistencies and hypocrisy.

Asians were not only discriminated against in this country, in many places hatred of resentment of Asians is the one thing that will unite blacks and whites. Asians were once EXCLUDED from immigration by a targeted act of legislation. They were blamed for opium and corruption and for subversion of the nation.

Yet somehow they have a higher per capita income than WHITES. How did they achieve this, and why is the retort always "model minority myth?"
