George, no berkeley which is the most extreme case simply lifted the designation of asians as minorities, which makes sense because they are the majority! But they are not limited in any other capacity than say, whites are limited. Its an exclusionary limitiation I guess where some % of minorities had to be allowed and therefore asians were limited to the non-minority designations. I'm sure thats what he meant. Anyway all that is out the window with a new anti-affirmative action bill passed out here last year, and anyway it was getting awfully tough to deal with because of all the mixed races.

Too many Asian grad students? Just too many grad students. WSJ Notable Quotables: Peter Brimelow in Forbes, May 31: The great American Ph.D. machine is out of control--in part because it's fueled with taxpayer money. . . . Graduating into unemployment is a disturbingly common experience for new Ph.D.s. Unemployment rates in 1997 reached 8.8% and 7%, respectively, for obviously useless subjects like English and political science. But they are surprisingly high as well for hard sciences like biochemistry and computer science. . . . Supply and demand don't match in science education because supply is subsidized. Only a third (32.3%) of science and engineering grad students are self-supported. interactive.wsj.com
