Oh no. It is the "you are so ignorant it is painful" poster. Thank you at least, for not shouting ignorant in ALL CAPS.

Affirmative action for Asians? Yeah sure, Asians are actively discriminated against. There are plenty more sources out there if the NY Times is not good enough for you.

This decline might seem small. But these same years brought a huge increase in America’s college-age Asian population, which roughly doubled between 1992 and 2011, while non-Hispanic white numbers remained almost unchanged. Thus, according to official statistics, [b]the percentage of Asian-Americans enrolled at Harvard fell by more than 50 percent over the last two decades, while the percentage of whites changed little.[/b] This decline in relative Asian-American enrollment was actually larger than the impact of Harvard’s 1925 Jewish quota, which reduced Jewish freshmen from 27.6 percent to 15 percent.

The percentages of college-age Asian-Americans enrolled at most of the other Ivy League schools also fell during this same period, and over the last few years Asian enrollments across these different universities have converged to a very similar level and remained static over time. [b]This raises suspicions of a joint Ivy League policy to restrict Asian-American numbers to a particular percentage.[/b][/quote][/quote]
