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]

But the #1 immigrant to the US are Asians. So we are talking about Asians not just Asian Americans. The Asian Americans are in the same pickle as the whites. Many of them are not in desperate enough situations to destroy their children's lives with test prep and piano lessons with Chinese language classes on the weekends.[/quote]

I think there should be a clear distinction between Asian International applicants and Asian American (plus permanent resident) applicants. The issue is clearly for Asian Americans NOT Asian international students. Asian Americans are entitled to equal protection under the US Constitution whereas international students are probably not. The case was filed on behalf of Asian American applicants who were rejected on racially discriminatory grounds. [/quote]don't discrimination laws ban discrimination based on national origin? I think this could open up an unintended can of worms[/quote]
