[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole concept kind of puts Whites in a pickle.  For decades, Whites have argued that test scores and the like should be used as the key standard for admission.  That is because they knew that they held the “advantage” in regards to AA and Hispanic students.  Now that Asians are beating them based on the test score rubric, they now want to embrace the holistic approach to admissions – something that URMs have advocated for decades.  Now that Whites are in danger of losing spots based on the same standards that they have pushed, the other standards now have merit?

Well, I will say this and I have said this MANY times.  If Asians are successful in this endeavor, those spots will not come from the AA or Hispanic side of the ledger.  The people most at risk would be the White students who are mediocre compared to other Whites – the lower end of the White totem pole.

Good grief, don't the Asians have an entire continent already?  I'm sure there are some top schools in Korea and China that Asian students ought to be able to attend.  Asians did not found this country.  [/quote]

I think you are confusing "Asians" with "Asian Americans" living in the US. Under your logic it would be like saying "don't whites have an entire continent already? I am sure there are some top schools in UK or France that whites ought to be able to attend." Asian Americans immigrated to this country just like you did and whites did. [/quote]AA did not immigrate.  They had other accommodations.[/quote]
