[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^Please name one US Top 50 college where being Asian or Asian-American provides an affirmative action benefit. [/quote]

Many LACs.  Wash Lee for one.

The point is not where the underrepresentation is, the point is it is applied across all races equally.

Also, your requirement that it be "top 50 college" is an embarrassing tell.  Why should any ranking determine what racial balance a college thinks it needs?  [/quote]

Bob and Bill are both low income, first generation college applicants applying out of state to Berkeley with identical, impressive stats. ECs are roughly equivalent.  Bob is Black and checks the African American box on the app, while Bill is Hmong and checks the Asian box on the app.  Granted the app allows further drill down on those categories, but colleges generally report demographics in the broad categories of Black, Asian, etc.  On that basis, who has the greater chance of getting into Berkeley, Bob or Bill?[/quote]
