Article which counters the Asians as the " model minority" myth.

"More than two in three Asian Americans – 69% – support affirmative action, and that’s been the case for nearly a decade. Within that demographic, support is highest among Korean Americans and Asian Indian Americans (at least 80%) and lowest among Chinese Americans, 59% of whom say they favor such policies.

Despite that polling data and widespread Asian American activism in support of affirmative action, Students for Fair Admissions – whose conservative donors have engaged in a larger crusade targeting issues including voting rights – have sought to paint a different picture. They are, critics say, using Asian Americans as a wedge to incite infighting among communities of color."

In the Affirmative Action cases before the Supreme Court, the conservative Students For Fair Admissions (SFFA) - led by Ed Blum - is using the Asian Americans to keep URMs marginalized.[/quote]

50% of Asian Americans students start in community college?

90% of Asian Americans in CA start in community college or for profit colleges?

Hmm.

Far cry from the focus on elite colleges like Harvard.

You aren’t quoting correctly. 90% don’t start in CC OR for profit. Here is the actual quote-
“. In California, home to the country’s largest AAPI population and a 26-year ban on affirmative action, the vast majority of Asian Americans – 90% – begin college in one of California’s public community colleges or four-year universities”.

Asians are vastly over represented in most of the UC’s.[/quote]

The Biggest irony is that people are blaming tests as racist and Asians are obsessed with test prepping.

Guess what, Californian schools like UCs and CalTech went test blind. Then Blacks are 6% 3% 2% at CalTech, Berkeley, UCLA[/quote]
