[quote=Anonymous]Here's why socio-economic based affirmative action is not desired ... according to The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education: https://www.jbhe.com/news_views/56_income-based_action.html "Asian Americans would undoubtedly be the major beneficiaries of affirmative action programs based on socioeconomic status. Asians’ average scores on standardized tests are even higher than the average scores for whites. There are many recent immigrant families from Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and other Asian nations that have not achieved middle-class status but whose children perform extremely well in school. High-achieving Asian students from these lower-income families would garner many places at the nation’s most prestigious universities which previously had gone to blacks under race-sensitive admissions." So it's not really about helping underprivileged people, but just achieving race quotas [/quote]
