You, however, believe that people should be rewarded according to their racial categories, which ironically makes your position racist. Not that I personally care, either way: you’re certainly entitled to your racism. But I think it’s a bit hypocritical to suggest that I’m a white supremacist when I’m really just interested in letting winners win. If anything, I would think you’d be interested in going after the people who purposely lumped Asians in the “advantaged” category, and then tried to bar them from entering college.

And not that it matters, but the overwhelming majority of my family are Honduran immigrants.

“During my several years in California’s school system, I never once had a problem with a rude Asian student, never had one steal from me, never knew one who broke the law (although I’m sure they exist, somewhere), never was physically threatened by one, and never had one blame me for any of their shortcomings or demand a handout.”

You completely have disregarded Asians as a race and grouped them with the dominant culture. you obviously don’t know anything about the complexities and sophistication of what it means to be Asian in America. Though you think you are trying to help, you are not. I comletely disagree with these quotas because it is completely untrue that all asians have improved academically or financially. There are about 40-50 ethnic groups in the asian category. Honestly you are an ignorant person who has no true knowledge. Blacks,asians, natives, and latinos have similar struggles and this model minority myth is socially construted by society and reinforced by stereotypes is a form of white supremacy. You are completely clueless.

If that isn’t the purpose of affirmative action, or all the other race-based initiatives the Left has taken (the Community Reinvestment Act, redlining legislation, etc), please–explain. I’d love to hear an alternate explanation.
