Ted Re..And once again, eliminating affirmative action would be a good thing if people of color, women etc in this country were in fact treated equal under the law. <<

While some of the discrimination comes from old habits, a lot of the African American problems can be traced to leaders who demand more from others, than demanding more performance from themselves. To have your leaders shaking down businesses, and then wonder why they don't like you is ridiculous. Sharpton claiming police brutality in the Brawley case, and continuing the charge well after he found out the truth, is ridiculous. Black communities actively dissing their kids who go to school, shouldn't be complaining when their kids can't do as well academically.

The students from the asian community dominate the elite in college, and get the best jobs when they graduate. Why would children from the Asian community need points.
