[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The S.F.F.A. doesn't care about Asians. They want to keep the white numbers up and URM numbers down.

"The point of this observation from Chin, Cho, Kang, and Wu is that ending affirmative action for African American and Latino applicants will not end white advantage.  If affirmative action is eliminated, negative action could still advantage white applicants over Asian Americans in competing for the bulk of admissions slots, as well as in competition for the smaller number of previously affirmative action admission slots.  This makes ending such affirmative action an inapt way to battle discrimination against Asian Americans."

But can you explain why after California and other states who banned AA the percentage of asians went up? Also, it wasnt a coincidence that the harvard asian admit rate went up after being capped for so many years around 25%.[/quote]

1/3 of all Asians live in California. Bad example.

Harvard never "capped" Asians. Pretty presumptuous and arrogant of you.

Can you explain how Asian Americans can claim discrimination in college admissions but are overrepresented on most college campuses relative to their U.S. population?

Overrepresentation is a function of meritocracy.  Remember, meritocracy? The American dream? Anyone can work hard and succeed? [/quote]
