[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Affirmative Action is removed, I worry White families might continue to feel their kids will be at a disadvantage. Going by scores alone, most elite schools will be filled with Asian American students. [/quote]

Curious why this is a worry. Because your assumption that these institutions should belong to white hands? That's the crux of all this. Someone is taking something from White kids. I would love 10 years of Asian only admits to see how that shakes out in society - for so many reasons! [/quote]

Well, yes, since the vast majority of Asians have only lived in this country for the last couple of decades.  Out-reproducing the United States and then moving here for our excellent education, doesn't entitle you to all of the spots at top schools. [b]So yes, those spots do belong in the hands of people who have funded them for generations.[/quote][/b]

Yikes! Well, I am glad my kid will attend a (highly regarded) public university and not have to mingle with your offspring!
