Ted, > why is it when all else is equal a white man makes more money than the as-qualified Asian? The old human attitudes of racism and preference still apply. No matter how much you tackle institutionalized racism, people are still going to prefer those who look, think, and talk like themselves. It's a comfort zone when it comes to human judgement. No need to break out of old thinking habits when the current ones still fit. Until this is solved, perhaps through an increasingly multicultural world, I can take solace in the notion that whoever hires the white guy for more money is getting a raw deal compared to the Asian who can do just as much, if not more, for less. > And maybe that's because there aren't many blacks, Latinos and NA who are getting 2400 on their SATs. Think about that for a minute. You don't see anything wrong in that line of thinking? What really stinks is that with all of this affirmative action, Asians now have to compete against other Asians. And pitting one Asian against another is not only discouraging, but also racist in itself. After all, who's making things this way? It ain't Asians, I'll tell you that. Tenchusatsu
