I don’t have a problem with Affirmative Action. I think it is necessary(but a socio-economic system of rewarding people from poor families would have been better). I know that it serves to minimize current inequalities and also as a compensation for the years of discrimination. I was just commenting that I know that I need to work harder.
Am I offending anybody? Why am I receiving such derogatory comments not to go to my dream schools? Is affirmative action a taboo on this site?
Also, since you bring the topic up(I didn’t want to go too deep about this controversial topic but…), weren’t Asians also discriminated against(at least compared to people of American/European descent)? Why are we penalized and not rewarded?
