[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point of affirmative action as a matter of law is to remedy past discrimination or the discriminatory effects of past practices. It is not to give an advantage to economically underprivileged students -- there are many other programs designed to address that. So, if a school has found that its admissions policies previously caused underrepresentation of those who could '"check the Latino box," then admitting those who can do so remedies that underrepresentation, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the shade of their skin or bank account balance.[/quote] In the meantime, poor Asian applicants are excluded from top universities on the basis of race. [/quote] Are you saying Asians are underrepresented as a percentage of the population? [/quote] No, I am saying Asian Americans are excluded from top universities on the basis of race. [/quote]
