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.

Tell that to the Upenn professor who wants to discriminate against people exactly like you (and me) -- Asian immigrant.  That is the point of this thread, not about affirmative action, which not all liberals support, and despite your repeated attempts to state the opposite, universities don't have outright affirmative action policies. They don't have race quotas.

Trump and this professor, oth, do want to limit immigration from sh1thole countries (namely nonwhite countries), and instead import more white people from like Finland, or was it Norway, which is super ironic given that most Finns and Norwegians support progressive policies like high taxes and universal healthcare.[/quote]

Give it a rest. [b]Trump is no longer the president[/b] and his immigration proposal was for a merit based sysfem, which will benefit Asians. Your refusal to acknowledge even this basic fact means you are being irrational.

Amy Wax is one person, she and her ilk is in a small minority. Her views does not represent broad Republican views. [/quote]
eh. tell that the R base.

Asians also benefit from HlB visas, [b]but the R base, and Trump, want to get rid of it, except for white people like his wife.[/b] You refuse to acknowledge that Trump and Rs don't like Asians, unless they are useful to them.

You know what's irrational -- that the majority of Asian Americans who vote R (and support Trump bigly) are of Vietnamese  descent.  Those are the Asian immigrants that this professor would want.  Trump, oth, wouldn't want them because Vietnamese immigrants tend to be uneducated and from a "sh1thole" country.[/quote]

Citation needed, and COVID related travel/visa restrictions don't count. Frankly, I don't care what the professor thinks because she is an ignorant bigot and she does not represent the Republican platform. Here's a direct cut and paste from Republican proposal on immigration reform:

[b]RESOLVED, that the Republican National Committee calls upon the President and Congress to implement immigration reform during the 2013 session based upon a merit system that emphasizes the economic contribution of each working immigrant can add to our nation;[/b]

See? facts. What do you have aside from anecdotes? [/quote]
