I'm just happy the voters of California ended AA and the state Supreme Court upheld it.

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!
I understand about the UCs, I don't like it but I understand it. I also agree that Japenese and Chinese kids get hurt by AA as much or more than whites. That is completely unfair and contrary to the spirit of AA and that is my objection.
If I had perfect SAT scores Harvard would not be on my list of schools I would apply to.
I read Kamdar's article which would be comical if it wasn't so pathetic. Is that really how school governing bodies make decisions about who goes to their school and who doesn't?

You're not making sense. You claim Harvard (or Princeton, or wherever else) is less likely to use AA because there are what, fewer East Asians? Harvard undergrad is 17% "Asian". If they were to stop employing AA that percentage would rise.

"Asian" isn't a race. And "needing help" doesn't mean you deserve to have things handed to you, especially if AA is designed to help rich white brats protect themselves from competition. You still refuse to acknowledge the point about whites benefiting from AA vs. East Asians, so I presume you agree or concede defeat.

And some entitled white brat or black kid that snorted crack instead of studying didn't get shuttled into the best school with a full ride, OUTRAGE!

No, it wasn't. Stereotypes have to be based in reality to be funny, like how whites fuck their blood relatives and how blacks suck at math... and reading, and writing, and science, and basic human decency.
But the "Asian driver" thing is completely made up, and sustained only on stupidity.

I just read somewhere that the EEOC had a record number of complaints last year. It was just a factoid with no background, but, it woul;d seem to indicate that maybe there is still a need for AA.
Meanwhile this oldie but goodie is always fun to add to any AA discussion...
Quote:
Anyhow, Prof. Katznelson described a lunch he had with Irving Kristol back during the first Bush administration. The talk turned to William Kristol, then Dan Quayle's chief of staff, and how he got his start in politics. Irving recalled how he talked to his friend Harvey Mansfield at Harvard, who secured William a place there as both an undergrad and graduate student; how he talked to Pat Moynihan, then Nixon's domestic policy adviser, and got William an internship at The White House; how he talked to friends at the RNC and secured a job for William after he got his Harvard Ph.D.; and how he arranged with still more friends for William to teach at UPenn and the Kennedy School of Government. With that, Prof. Katznelson recalled, he then asked Irving what he thought of affirmative action. "I oppose it", Irving replied. "It subverts meritocracy."
William Kristol has been wrong about everything for decades. He also inflicted Sarah Palin on an unprepared country. As long as we are complaining about AA, shouldn't we complain about this kind?

I don't see how they're related, again, as white scumbags like him aren't affected at all by affirmative action. Good, hard-working, honest East Asian kids are. By all means toss those shameless white pigfuckers out and replace them with people who are actually intelligent or needy.
