[b]Does racial balance in admissions benefit Asians at colleges where they are under-represented?[/b][/quote]

The colleges where Asians are under-represented are usually mediocre schools that Asians don't want want to go.

So no benefit.[/quote]

That’s not an answer to the question. Can you answer the question? Do they benefit when they apply to schools they are under represented?[/quote]

PP have you left the thread?  Would like a response please.[/quote]

DP.  Answering your original question, I don't know and I don't care.  Even if it does, you are doing me a "favor" I don't want nor asked for.  [/quote]

At least you admit your ignorance.  And also that your ignorance is purposeful.  Because you prob⁶ably know the answer is “yes” and that contradicts your argument that the policy is racism.[/quote]

Th policy doesn't help Asians and used to discriminate Asians.
Asians don't beg for benefits. Just asking fair and equal opportunity for college admissions without discrimination. [/quote]

Assuming you are a new poster who didn't read the entire exchange, please answer:

[b]Does racial balance in admissions benefit Asians at colleges where they are under-represented?[/b][/quote]

I'm and Asian and I don't want any hard working White kids discriminated and treated unfairly in favor of Asians.
[/quote]

I didn't ask what you wanted.  I asked:  Does racial balance in admissions benefit Asians at colleges where they are under-represented?

Can you answer, and please include a yes or no?[/quote]

DP. How many times have you posted your stupid question? Can you answer your own damn question? With proof? [/quote]

Yes I can answer the question.  Of course.  And so can you.

Yes, under current policies any race benefits at any college where they are under-represented.  At every college which has anything other than open admissions.  Which means it is NOT, by design, prejudiced against any one race.[/quote]

The only colleges where Asians (and whites) are under represented are historically black colleges. In 2016, the total college enrollment rate was higher for Asian young adults (58 percent) than for young adults who were of Two or more races (42 percent), White (42 percent), Hispanic (39 percent), Black (36 percent), Pacific Islander (21 percent), and American Indian/Alaska Native (19 percent).”

Your first sentence is not proved by what follows, and is in fact is non-sequitur. It is also completely false.

Here are a few examples proving you are wrong:

https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/hamilton-college/student-life/diversity/chart-undergraduate-racial-ethnic-diversity.html

https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/bates-college/student-life/diversity/chart-undergraduate-racial-ethnic-diversity.html

https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/middlebury-college/student-life/diversity/chart-undergraduate-racial-ethnic-diversity.html

Those are all highly selective colleges where Asians are URMs.  I could keep going but the point is made, yours is proved false.[/quote]

even two of these are like about 7% and 7+% lol  
that's not under represented.  The good LACs have plenty Asians.

[/quote]

It's not a question of whether colleges have Asians or not - it is whether they benefit from colleges where they are not ORM.  Only Middlebury from that list is equal to the USA in enrolled students.  Which means they are not discriminated against at a minimum, and likely benefit from the policy because they are not ORM.

And I built that list at random, and those were the first four I searched.

Again, you fail.[/quote]

“You fail?” Persistent badgering about your question? You sure are taking this personally. It’s amusing. I can’t wait till SCOTUS hands down their decision. Your head will likely explode.[/quote]

Listen Trumpster, no one here is going to be shocked when SCOTUS does away with affirmative action. We figured out a long time ago they are political hacks. My sincere hope, though, is that colleges find away around their ruling and are still able to reject your white, overly privileged kid. [/quote]

Harvard is like 40% ALDC and you people are rooting for college doing whatever they want to do[/quote]

What is ALDC?[/quote]
