I wonder if more white people will favor affirmative action as Asians take more and more college spots?
Asians became the largest ethnic group at UCSD in 2002. They’re within 1% of whites across the UC.
For better or for worse, the end of Affirmative Action in college admissions took spots away from blacks and latinos and gave them to asians.
The UC system uses standardized test scores more than a lot of colleges and universities do. Even as someone who had great SATs and a high high school GPA, I don’t think that should be the whole story in college admissions.
The irony is that as white men’s representation in college continues to shrink (which, if current trends hold, will happen), you may start hearing a lot more cries for proportional representation.
