[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It stated in the article: "More than two in three Asian Americans – 69% – support affirmative action, and that’s been the case for nearly a decade. Within that demographic, support is highest among Korean Americans and Asian Indian Americans (at least 80%) and lowest among Chinese Americans, 59% of whom say they favor such policies." I wonder how many AA families who live in Mclean, Langley, Potomac, Bethesda support affirmative action when their kids are rejected by Ivies for those that are less qualified.[/quote] The term "less qualified" is relative if not an oxymoron for the Ivies, but the less qualified for those accepted are likely athletes, legacies, and children of faculty/ donors - vast majority of whom are white. The AA families you mention ARE the ones accepted by Ivies because they have the resources - like the whites and Asians - to pay for extensive test prep, to live in good neighborhoods, etc. [/quote]
