[quote=Anonymous]In the past Blacks were prevented from progressing by applying laws that made slavery legal and later on racial discrimination legal.  But the Jewish, Italian, Irish, Polish etc. people could not be stopped for long from achieving success.  Now the laws in force leveled the playing field.  Overt discrimination is not so easy anymore.  There is only subtle discrimination in practice, although it can hinder someone from achieving their true potential it can't prevent them from progressing completely.  Hence Asians may be slowed, as the law suit against Harvard indicates, but they will realize their true potential in due course and nobody can stop them.  Better get used to them on the playing field and learn to compete with all than to nurture animus towards them.  In our country everyone has the right to approach the courts to seek redress iif they feel they are wronged.  That is what the lawsuit against Harvard is about.  Let it play out in courts, possibly all the way to the Supreme Court.  We all will, including Harvard and Asians, will live with the Supreme Court decision.

As an aside, refresh my memory as to how many non-WASP POTUS have we had since the independence?  JFK and BHO.  Only two.  Should women and non-Christians,  boycott presidential elections or migrate to some other country/ies as some people here on suggesting Asians should boycott Harvard and enroll in other colleges?[/quote]
