Truth is, my husband and I worked our butts off as 1st generation to go to college in the US, but we needed to get into top schools to help us create networks and get our first jobs and start to our careers. Our kids, however, will be fine wherever they go to college.

People who work their butts off generally do fine wherever they go. I'll bet you didn't need those top schools as much as you think you did. Good luck to you and your kids!

Stop pretending to be an Asian.

The detractors cited several reasons for their positions. A whopping 81% said they oppose the policy because it is racist; 32% said it increases racism against Asian Americans; 30% said it hurts their odds of getting into their chosen schools and 25% said it perpetuates stereotypes against the community.

In terms of age, older Asian Americans were more likely to oppose affirmative action, with 61% of those aged 54 and above saying they “somewhat” or “strongly oppose” the policy. Meanwhile, 45% of those aged 18 to 24 and aged 25 to 34 expressed opposition to the policy.

A quarter (26%) of respondents expressed support for affirmative action . Thirteen percent said they “strongly support” the policy, while 21% said they “somewhat support.”

The survey also looked into the impact of affirmative action on the respondents’ motivation to vote in the recent midterm elections, as well as their choice of candidates, with 58% of midterm voters who voted Republican reporting that they did so for the first time.

An earlier survey conducted by The Economist and British analytics firm YouGov showed that a majority of U.S. adults (54%) also oppose affirmative action.

If Asian Americans continue to vote for politicians who favor racial discrimination against them, who is to blame?

Why don't you tell us which politicians have that on their platform?

The Senate had an amendment to deny federal funds to colleges that discriminate against Asians. Every Democrat voted no.

Exactly.

If Asian Americans vote to harm their kids, I guess that's their right.

LOL. You think Republican values represent most Asians? Especially the past decade or two? Have you heard their leader talk about China? Good grief!

Does racial balance in admissions benefit Asians at colleges where they are under-represented?

The colleges where Asians are under-represented are usually mediocre schools that Asians don't want want to go.

So no benefit.

That’s not an answer to the question. Can you answer the question? Do they benefit when they apply to schools they are under represented?

PP have you left the thread? Would like a response please.

DP. Answering your original question, I don't know and I don't care. Even if it does, you are doing me a "favor" I don't want nor asked for.

At least you admit your ignorance. And also that your ignorance is purposeful. Because you prob⁶ably know the answer is “yes” and that contradicts your argument that the policy is racism.

Th policy doesn't help Asians and used to discriminate Asians.
Asians don't beg for benefits. Just asking fair and equal opportunity for college admissions without discrimination.

No, anyone pretty much can walk in to those colleges as long as they pay, so no benefit

You know nothing.

People can "pretty much walk in" to LACs like Washington & Lee with a 19% acceptance rate?

Ignoramus.

Stop pretending to be an Asian.

Stop pretending you speak for all of us. I agree with PP.
OP, keep talking like you do and telling everyone to vote GOP for Asian benefit.
I love it when GOPers shoot themselves in the foot.

Most Asians aren't voting for the GOP - the party of Donald " china flu" Trump.

Most Asians rightly support the Democratic party.

Aggrieved incel Asian males do support Republicans.

Many on this thread.
