Asians benefit from affirmative action in graduate school?

sure, it “benefits” them by letting them “interact” with “peers” from “different” “socieoconomic” “backgrounds”. except for the Asians who don’t get admitted, they get the “benefit” of “attending fresno state”. haven’t you read your political correctness manual?

That's what we technically call "racist discrimination". Affirmative Action is a hate Crime!!! Defend Prop 209!! Birgeneau is an idiot!!! Affirmative Action is a hate Crime !!!1!!

What a jackass!! Affirmative Action is defined as policies needed and used to redress past discrimination. I believe this country has its share of past discrimination: 1) Slavery!!!! 2) Seperate but unequal 3) Jim Crow 4) so on and so forth. Jim Crow did not end until 1965. thus there is a combined 450 years of slavery and Jim Crow and only 40 years of "equality" You cannont erase 450+ years of discrimination in 40 years. You need policies to help level out the playing field. Hate Crime against asians??? Asians benefited greatly from AA especially in graduate school. LEARN THE FACTS, JACKASS!!! B_ “Affirmative action is a hate crime perpetrated against white and Asian students.”

I'm not sure if it this is true. If it is, it probably explains to some extent why the numbers are what they are.

It's not responsible for fulfilling quotas. Sadly, the K-12 system in the state is shot. That's where the problem lies, as Hollinger rightly points out.

The problem isn't at schools like Berkeley, it's at piss-poor public schools that screw the poor. Dammit, would someone let this horse just die?
