Since Asians had to work harder to get into college, are Asian graduates more qualified then other races?
So if your child had cancer, would you have them see the Asian Harvard doctor or the Black Harvard doctor?
Liar Loan said:There is actually a shortage of college students right now compared to the number of slots available.
Everybody who wants to attend college should be able to without any problem.
There aren't enough Asian American students to take up all of the slots, so whites, hispanics, and blacks won't be excluded from the system just because we treat prospective Asian students more fairly.

Not in many CA colleges.

But don't they take up all the high-demand colleges?
Liar Loan said:According to the study cited, Caltech doesn't have any racial quotas, yet only about 40% of the school is Asian, and surprisingly (according to the study) hispanics make up 12% of the student body.
Liar Loan said:This isn't just about doctors either. If a school like MIT is discriminating based on race, that means some of the worlds greatest innovators are being stifled by affirmative action.
This doesn't just hurt Asian Americans. It hurts all of society that could be benefitting from the brilliance of Asian American students because they are prevented from reaching their full potential.
