This is exactly where affirmative action breaks down, where there is an historically discriminated-against minority that "over performs" in academically competitive admissions.  As a result, they basically get totally read out of affirmative action programs and even discriminated against in open-competitive admissions. [b] No matter that many Asian families came to this country in the last few decades, some on rafts[/b] and with just the clothes on their backs.  They didn't speak English and faced (and still face discrimination) and now their academically successful kids have quotas put on them in college admissions.  At the end of the day, affirmative actions is largely a preference program for African-Americans who for various reasons seem more afflicted than other minority groups by the social pathologies that Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote about in the Sixties.  On that basis, it becomes harder and harder to justify.[/quote]I seriously doubt any asians got to the USA on rafts....[/quote]
