Asians would benefit most from the end of AA (college-wise), but they still defend it

<p>what^?
Asians are competitive - but competitive as in they(we) want to “win” not that “let society make things harder for me in an unfair manner”.
If Asians got in due to removal of AA, that would not mean that they are less “worthy” - it just meant that they got in when race wasn’t held as a factor.</p>

I have an idea why Asians support AA. I can’t be sure, but what do you want more a 50k scholarship only a few can get or a 50k scholarship everyone can get? I mean its ego right, but most would choose the one only a few can get. The thing is, most Asians (in this category) feel or know they can get into top ivies so they want it to be more competitive so getting in means more. AA=more competition because spots go to urms, spots Asians can’t have. Anyway, one person noted before-it doesn’t matter if u have an Ivy league degree its what you do with it. So, prospective employers won’t be able to decide which Asians got in with the removal of AA and which did not and would likely say they got in due to its removal AA. (ironic, the same thing is happening to blacks now with AA) As a result, an Ivy degree held by an Asian is not as worthy. But today all can recognize that any Asian who can get into an Ivy must have been a real attractive applicant and extremely smart. Also, one must not be so cynical. People can stand up for what they believe, even if it is at their detriment.

<p>So blacks are in favour of all the abuse from police, media, etc., because they want to standout as one of the few exceptional black people?</p>

<p>Asians support AA because they believe that in all other fields except college admissions, they are discriminated against. That’s my opinion, at least.</p>

<p>um… no my statement was distorted. I said, and it was only a speculation, that a few get a good thing not a few get a bad thing. Also, to relate abuse to aa is extremely unjust. But you are right about one thing, it is a speculation and might not be right.</p>
