"Affirmative action"? Isn't that just the politically correct way of saying "reverse racism"? You're more qualified than someone else, but they get the reward to supposedly satisfy some historical injustice?

It isn't just Caucasians were talking about here, BTW.


You bleeding liberals......always worried about the Caucasians. Ever notice that the Caucasians have all the money??? But you keep crying yourself a river.......

Orientals are also the victims of reverse racism. They work hard in school, study hard- -and are denied admissions to good universities or high schools so that someone else who didn't but is a member of a race that has a "historical record of discrimination" can be admitted.

Orientals? Isn't that a term pre AA?

Have you ever noticed that the Asians [aka Orientals in your world] have completed more education on average than the Caucasians but make less $$$ than the less educated Caucasions.

Why do you think that is, o white father?

Lazarus, And you HONESTLY favor this?

Actually, I don't. My previous post was sarcasm. I'm not like some of my more liberal Asian friends who believe in affirmative action, but would like to see it extended toward all Asians.
