[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the case of Asians vs Rich White legacy folks they both cheat to get in.

High ACT/SAT scores can be manipulated as well as GPA. Which Asians are often experts at.

Blacks, Spanish and non connected whites lose spots to the well off whites and Asians.

ACT is a joke, anyone who takes it 3-6 times and pay for expensive tutors can get a 34-36. AP classes are a joke as  teachers fear giving less than an A and with tutors anyone can shine. Volunteer work is a joke as poor cant afford to do it.

Try going to  a crappy HS with no AP and parents on welfare. Would love to see average score of so called Tiger Moms kids if they had to do it in that environment.        [/quote]

I disagree intensely with the [b]white supremacist anti-affirmative action posters [/b]and feel pity for the [b]Asian-Americans who think the Nazis [/b]are their friends. But, it's pretty stupid to say that all Asians are rich or cheat. At the majority Asian-American specialized high schools that send a lot of students to elite schools like Harvard (e.g. Lowell in San Francisco or Stuyvesant in NYC), most of the Asian-American students are poor enough to qualify for free/reduced lunch.  Some of the top students in DC public schools are Asian-Americans who live in Chinatown's Mansion Square (4th and K NW), which is a project-based Section 8 building.  [/quote]

It’s really obscene for some DCUM leftists to characterize an anti-affirmative action position as a white supremecist view. Worse is to characterize Asians who take this stance as Nazis. Do you even know what Jews experienced during WW2 for you to use this term so loosely?  Just because someone disagree with you doesn’t mean they are Nazis. Get real. [/quote]
