    Let us take a look at what "affirmative" action means for asian Americans:

    If all other credentials are equal, Asian-Americans need to score 270 points higher than Hispanics, and 450 points above African-Americans out of a maximum 1600 on the math and reading SAT to have the same chance of admission to a private college, according to “No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal,” a 2009 book co-written by Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade.

    Budget-strapped state schools such as the University of California at San Diego are reducing enrollment of Asian-Americans to make room for international students from China and elsewhere who pay almost twice the tuition of in-state residents, Bloomberg News reported December 28, 2002. Why is the enrollment of Asian-Americans being reduced? Because there would be "too many" Asians otherwise, and that would exceed the university's allocated racial quotas!

    12/16/11 New York Post: Hiding their race
    By Rich Lowry

    "To check or not to check the Asian box? That’s the choice faced by Asian-American students applying to what are supposed to be the most tolerant places on Earth: the nation’s colleges"

    Ward Connerly, a former University of California regent, explained to the newspaper The Sacramento Bee about what Asians faced trying to get accepted into the state's university system:
    “In an unguarded moment, [a fellow regent] told me that unless the university took steps to ‘guide’ admissions decisions, UC would be dominated by Asians. When I asked, ‘What would be wrong with that?’ I got an answer that speaks volumes about the underlying philosophy at many universities with regard to Asian enrollment. The UC administrator told me that Asians are ‘too dull – they study, study, study.’ He then said, ‘If you ever say I said this, I will have to deny it.’ I won’t betray the individual’s anonymity because to do so would put him in a world of trouble."

    I've read this before and it's hilarious. If I recall it correctly, the group most helped by affirmative action were white women.

    This boosting the income happens all over the USA in all graduate programs. Every State has it's fair share of intelligen local talent. But they tend to accept/approve more forigen students for the higher tuition rate the forigener will pay. Only the elite and connected will get accepted local approval for graduate school.

    This has been the standard for decades, and like any monopoly it will not change unless the local kid is willing to pay more.

    Those who run the universities in the USA do not want asians migrating into their relm ofcontrol over the masses. The owners and managers of the universities need to keep it jewish, and they will.

    In fact they write the laws that govern this sort of issue.

    After voters approved Proposition 209 in 1996, California abolished affirmative action and Latinos fell to 12% from more than 15% and blacks declined to 3% from 4%. As a result, Asian students now make up close to 50% across the University of California system and there is no effort being made to reduce their presence on campus since it's illegal to consider race as a factor. Moreover, despite the huge increase in the number of international students, all local students who met the UC’s academic requirements were offered admission to at least one campus and Asian are intellectually equal to whites because they share common Neanderthal heritage.
