More well-off than other blacks? Sure.
Compared to their peers at Harvard? Hardly.

Good job with the correct answer btw, which was historical racism. Hundreds of years of slavery doesn't sound like a fun thing to experience as a people. I don't foresee myself looking back at the times of AA after its passing and feeling sadness for the plight of the Asians who didn't get accepted into their reach school.
I don't foresee you feeling sadness for the "plight" of any "Asians", period. It's nice that you can completely dehumanize 3 billion people because they don't serve as posterchildren for your political viewpoints. Of course, many white liberals have inexhaustible pathos for poor blacks whose parents earn around $100,000 a year.
But that's beside the point. I'm sure you'd claim to feel less pity for entitled, snot-nosed white brats at top schools, so why not give their spots to blacks?

If by peers you mean "whites and Jews at Harvard" you are right, but there are a lot of poor Southeast Asians and Chinese who make it without handouts and constant affirmation and ass-kissing. Again, their experience is quite to the contrary.
Which again begs the question of why Asians are bearing the cost of affirmative action, and not whites. If racism is the case you're making, you will have to demonstrate Asian racism against whites, because that's all it really boils down to.

No its not. Its time to stop abuses to it.
There is still prejudice going on. If reverse prejudice exists that must be stopped

I never owned a slave. None of you has ever been a slave. In fact, none of you know ANYONE who would fit into those categories.
/AA is just more crap to reward the worthless. Some of you act like brown people all need to be coddled. Why don't you try telling that to some black people who have MADE something of themselves? Is it because you think they don't exist? They do. It is an insult to them to treat everything like we're back on the plantation.
/shame on you, racists

So in one OP thread we have people crying over the plight of Asian workers entrapped by their governments and in another thread we have Fuck the Asians!
I see.

Only if "boo hoo, one Asian kid didn't get into Harvard" equals "fuck the Asians!"
Incidentally, many kinds of Asians do get a boost from AA policies. Indonesians, Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, Burmese, Cambodians for instance.

You of all people, Yuki. You and I have discussed how Asians have lost AA desks and you used that argument against someone who accused you for going to one of the most premiere law schools in the country because you were given an AA desk. Do you remember that conversation?
Edit: Where did you get your statistic of 'one Asian"?

Of course. But what's it got to do with anything?
Japanese and Chinese kids probably get hurt by AA as much as or more than whites. I don't buy dae_twat's comments about harvard because there arn't nearly as many asians there but it's certainly true of the UCs that being East Asian probably hurts you.
But it does help lots of other Asian groups that frankly need the help more.
edit: The "one asian" was Kamdar's original whine. Some Asian kid with "perfect SATs" didn't get into Harvard and this is an OUTRAGE!

These are the best kinds of race rants. Brown people are largely worthless...its insulting to brown people to recognize inequality exists......that said its everyone else who is racist!
