I just love the fact that white people totally ignore Asian Americans when talking about affirmative action.
How many Asians scream blood murder when a kid with perfect SAT scores and a 4.0 gets turned down by an Ivy or a UC? Not that many, we know what the game is like (cough “legacy” admissions).
I’ll stereotype here, but the typical “white” response is that “all the Asian kids know about is studying, they don’t do sports and that’s where whites can provide diversity.”
Odd, that’s almost the equivalent argument that blacks and Latinos can toss against whites.
My Dad warned me at my “literally all white” high school. “You have it easy here but don’t forget that you’re competing not against Caucasians for a slot at Yale but against Asians at other schools”. Harsh lesson learned, but in real life, you know what the competition is and who you need to beat out. Just do it.
