You are so dense and keep blathering about ‘A boost to one person should not be based on racist discrimination against another person.” even though that’s not what’s happening with Affirmative Action all the while REPEATEDLY ignoring the historical antecedents of the US. Which makes me question whether you are American? Your argument smacks of entitlement and ignorance [/quote]

Of course, that's exactly what's going on with Affirmative Action. The whole point of Affirmative Action is to give preferential treatment to some people in the allocation of limited resources. The benefit provided by Affirmative Action comes at the expense of the person(s) who was displaced because of it.

I'm not sure what exact historical "antecedents" you are referring to. I am certainly not ignoring the racism that was in America's past. I am also not ignoring the fact that Affirmative Action existed before and even survived court challenges. However, just because we used to do something, doesn't mean we should keep doing it, especially since I believe Affirmative Action to be evil, as with all cases of racist discrimination.

I'm a first-generation Asian-American immigrant. I am not arguing that I'm entitled to anything, I am just asking not to be discriminated against based on the color of my skin. That's all.
