[quote=Anonymous][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...?  [b]There will always be a perception that URMs just aren't as good[/b], can't compete, etc.  Net negative.  Not net positive.   [/quote]

This perception of black people specifically has always existed even before the creation of affirmative action. The reverse psychological games white people like to play always seems to amaze me when this topic comes up.

What even more funny is white people see themselves as the standard for humanity and that every white professional is competent just because. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
