[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, every time there is a thread like this, certain commenters always indicate that in a "meritocracy," all minorities would be less qualified.  And that's why I can't really hear anything else that is said.  [/quote]

Were I white or Asian, with an ACT score of 20, and denied admission by my dream universities, I'd be very annoyed by those numbers.

Time for race-based discrimination to stop. A new injustice doesn't solve an older one.

asians are - the issue is, asian plaintiffs don't really complain re: public schools.

It would be really hard to get a suit against private schools to come up to scotus review.

hence why we get terrible plaintiffs like fisher.[/quote]

Why it is that Asians don't become more involved in fighting discrimination against them? I believe some Asian American groups recently sued Harvard -- why not sue every single public and private university who's discriminating again you in essentially the same way they discriminated against Jews decades ago?[/quote]
