[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intelligent.com, an online resource focused on higher education planning and online degree rankings, polled[b] 1,250 Asian Americans on Nov. 9 and found that roughly half (49%) of them oppose[/b] race-based admissions in colleges and universities.

I guess I don't have to read this garbage thread since I'm one of the 51% of Asian Americans who support race base admissions in colleges. Thanks to divisive OP who titles the thread with a misleading title. So out of 49% of the 1250 people they surveyed, answered that they were opposed to affirmative action with 8 our of 10 of that percentage feeling that affirmative action is racists.

Let's see, that would be [b] approx. 40% ( I rounded up for you, OP  :) ) of the people polled[/b], so 500 people (another round up for your benefit, OP)

40% is not an overwhelming number, though concerning and I'd want to know more about the people they polled to be sure that 500 people were representative of all the immigrants from a giant continent.

There is systemic racisim. I have seen other people hurt by it when I have been spared. Affirmative action is not perfect, but anyone who wants to get rid of it has no solution to this issue. They just want their cut to be fair, while denying others that same opportunity.

Why should Asian American college students be punished for systemic racism? Are 18 year old Asian Americans the ones perpetuating systemic racism?

Ironically, discrimination against Asian Americans in the university admissions systems is actual systemic and (currently) legalized racism.[/quote]
