[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand the mental gymnastics white people will do to justify anti-Asian American discrimination in the college admissions process.

I'm liberal, progressive, [b]and I believe that affirmative action policies are a net good on society[/b]. This also comes with the understanding that Asian Americans do indeed need to perform better, score higher, and will ultimately be at a net disadvantage compared to their non-Asian peers. This is corroborated by decades of third-party research and evidence. I'm not complaining, since it is what it is and I've accepted it as a fact. But to throw Asians under the bus and make assumptions about how they behave, think, and policing how they should respond to this is frankly a little disturbing.

If you're placing the blame on Asians and Asian families, trust me -- you're on the complete wrong side of history on this one.[/quote]

Affirmative action is a net negative on society, particularly for the URMs.  Whoever sought out URM doctors, lawyers, engineers, CPAs...?  There will always be a perception that URMs just aren't as good, can't compete, etc.  Net negative.  Not net positive.   [/quote]
