[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It used to be that whites used to be overwhelmingly opposed to affirmative action because they thought they were being disadvantaged against AA and hispanics.  Now they realize that they're actually being helped by affirmative action because they are taking the spots of asians who are more qualified than them.  [b]So now whites are overwhelmingly supportive of affirmative action.  [/b]How funny.  Years ago, there used to be arguments made that it was time to get rid of affirmative action because equality has evolved long enough that all races are at an even playing field.  But then I read an essay that said affirmative action will never go away once whites realize that getting rid of it will not help them but will help asians instead.  How right he was.[/quote]

I'd love to see any real data on this.  I and everybody else I know either 1. Supports AA because they think it's righting historical wrongs or 2. Wants all race based considerations removed.   I've yet to run into a white person who wants AA so they can keep out Asians.  Not saying it doesn't exist, but I don't think it's at all common.  I'm 100% in support of removing race based AA; if my white child is denied entrance at some school because of that then she should have studied harder.[/quote]

Studying harder won't make a shred of difference if your kid has crappy teachers.[/quote]
