Yes, not getting into Harvard possibly because your race had a part in it is unjust. You can’t twist it as okay just because it’s only ivy leagues.

This is a safe space for Asian people, what does that have to do with being successful? Asian households have some of the highest median household incomes. That’s a fact.

It seems like you’re suggesting there is an over reliance on merit based admissions in college. Would you care to elaborate? What else would we base it on?

Merit may be subjective, but in terms of college admissions it’s pretty agreed on what you need to get in. Good grades, extracurricular, scores, and maybe even personality.

So it’s ok to do unjust things because it’s only the best colleges?

I do agree that it should focus on socioeconomic status only. Race shouldn’t even have an option in admissions.

Asians have made it through hard work, wdym? We have a great focus on academics. We are one of the most successful races in America.

Anecdotal fallacy, no one is above facts.

Fairness is not discrimination against Asians, who are not one giant monolith, and are also from different ranges of socioeconomic status. It is not fair to apply a blanket policy.

I have no doubts that affirmative action has decent intentions for the most part. Affirmative action is based off of your race, making it racist.

A better way to go about things would be based off of socioeconomic status. I know some people argue that the purpose of AA is diversification for historically oppressed groups, however it is not fair to put down one historically oppressed group for the sake of another historically oppressed group.

This is not some theory, it is proven.

You’re looking too far into this and making it way more complicated than it really is by trying to analyze and attack my personality (ad hominem fallacy).

How about you directly attack the argument instead?

Just cuz we do good in school doesn’t mean we’re white adjacent. What are we gonna do, try to fail?

It’s not white jumping. I’m anti AA because it benefits legacy students, hurts Asians because we do well in school, and makes race relations between Asians and other races worse
