[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very funny.

Reminds me of all that advice for raped women not to denounce what happened and think "carefully" instead.[/quote]

It's yet to be demonstrated the Asians were discriminated against (raped).  They are being used for ulterior purposes by a group that wants to eliminate affirmative action.  When they lose, as I believe they will, it will establish a precedent and private colleges will be even freer to continue with holistic selection methods.  Maybe the words "think carefully" sounded like I condone discrimination. I don't.  But I would not like to see the elimination of any use of race in college admissions decisions as I think that will only hurt black and Hispanic applicants.[/quote]

Wrong. They may lose this lawsuit. It will build them up to file many more and eventually win. Asians have long been discriminated against but have never done much about it until now. It's time to break that "model minority" image and start demanding equal treatment. They will pave the way for other minorities, stuck in the affirmative action loop, which is both useful and demeaning.[/quote]
