[quote=Anonymous]"Racist" is being thrown around too casually. People simply have different viewpoints of the concept of meritocracy. It is no stretch to say that there is a significant cohort of the US Asian population that deeply believes in the concept of true meritocracy and that decisions should be made based on performance (test scores or other measures of ability). There is another viewpoint (often put forward by liberals) that says that merit can only take us so far as a society, and the benefit of having a broader population represented is critical because of the concept of cohorts and underrepresented populations having "success" stories to look up to. These two trains of thought are only generally clashing at the margins.[/quote]
