[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm black American and a product of affirmative action.  I was chosen for my potential not because of my test scores. I am forever grateful for the opportunity.  That said, I have no problem with the ruling.  Race should not be a deciding factor.  We are focusing on the wrong damn thing - Asian parents and kids are not the problem!  Harvard's race-based discrimination was a solution to a problem that has nothing to do with Harvard.  We are deflecting away from the fact that there are systemic inequalities in our public school systems that make it hard for most kids (regardless of skin color!) to succeed.  Asians (and other groups - Nigerians) succeed because they've figured out that you can't rely on the shi**y school systems to prepare their kids for higher education and life. It's not a damn mystery why they are successful.  We are crabs in a  barrel fighting to escape while pulling each other down.

Ps.  Stop peddling racist stereotypes that Asians have no personality! [/quote]
