[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]"In the case of university admissions over the past decade, Asians serve as this sort of mask for white privilege," Chang says. "A mask that white privilege can wear in order to hide itself." A mask, he says, with the veneer of very real experiences of racism by Asian Americans.

"Is anti-Asian racism real? Yeah, absolutely," says OiYan Poon, a professor at Colorado State University who studies race-based admissions. "I have experienced it firsthand."

But according to her research, affirmative action is not the source of that racism.

"I've been pouring over the data for years," she says — including the admissions data of Harvard before the court in one of the case that just ended affirmative action. "There is no evidence that there's a practice of anti-Asian discrimination." [/quote]

Asians are useful idiots for white conservatives. [/quote]

The trial court has already established anti-Asian race based discrimination.  The Supreme Court was being asked if a diversity rationale and deference to colleges' expertise was enough to excuse that.  
You say useful idiots, but in having white conservatives bring this lawsuit, more Asians were admitted to Harvard the past few years, about 10 % of the class.[/quote]
