SAT scores are the most easiest to go by. And if your 56 and retired...you're doing better than most Americans let alone 95% of the rest of the world...as a black guy, I'd say America did right by you. I'm 29, with a great house and a great career, and upgrading my profession into law, and I'd be more than happy to retire at 56...wake up to reality, you have it good. Visit the rest of the world, and try to claim otherwise. You have it good in America. Reality. You have food, shelter, clean water, and are in a minority in a country that overall highly respects minorities, compared to even the most "progressive" nations you can think of...and you're not living in a war zone, I don't usually get this rude but STFU. Get out of your bubble. Most of the world is happy in a 900 sq ft appartment; that's more than enough. And your complaining when retiring at 56...I really don't want to hear it. You're out of controlSAT scores are the most easily measurable scores out there. So I don't see how you can just write them off as you do. I actually do see how you can and it's to protect your ego. But I'm sorry, reality hurts for people not prepared for it. I'm sorry the system (if it's even fair to blame it on that) hasn't prepared you for reality. The cold hard truth is still nothing effects you more than the choices you make, especially in this day and age, and this is where you are wrong. You wanna have a conversation about race? Well America is the most diverse country on the world today, and there has ever been in history. So while the Scottish and welsh, argue over who's better, as well as the protestants and Catholics need a wall in Ireland, I'd say America is doing pretty damn well in race relations compared to the rest of the world...which is very much more HOMOGENEOUS THAN AMERICA. What better standard of race relations is better than America? Honestly what other country can boast the same amount of diversity? There is none, in any human history. Nor non today that can compare to America. And even with Donald trump, we are still standing, and even better, immigrants from all over the world still WANT to come here, and make a better life for themseleves. Go to Poland, Austria, wherever, as soon as they hear your American, they are trying to get on that train with you whatever way possible. Why is that? Even though we're currently living in a socialist shit storm like the rest of them...what is it that has made this country be a place where our poor make the equivelant of 60,000 US dollars welfare and other programs like that? That's our poorest...way way better off than the middle class of 90% of the world.You just described a quota hahaha. And the discrimination doesn't come from acceptance rate of colleges in general, no one ever made that claim. There are nurmerous colleges that practically accept you if you body is warm. The discrimination comes from Asians having to outperform almost every other race, especially when it comes to more competitive colleges. Would it not be discrimination for a school to require higher standards of blacks more than another race for acceptance? Are you telling me you wouldn't have a problem if schools did that? Go ahed and answer.Then the Teflon theory of history definitely applies to you.
AA is not discrimination in favor of anyone. And when we talk about Teflon theory, you need to read t it again, because your post is an example of it..
Affirmative action is an equal opportunity policy If you are an Asian, you are part of affirmative action policy. So are whites.
Thus beginneth todays lesson
Whites have made the claim of quotas. Quotas are not required in the policy unless there are specific things going on. Before AA was made a law, it was examined thoroughly for constitutionality and that's why quotas except in certain cases are not allowed. The only time quotas are allowed is if your organization has a documented history of under utilizing minorities which includes ASIANS. In short the only time quotas are required is when a company is still practicing discrimination. So then think about why whites keep taking about wanting quotas to end.
So let me explain this to you Asian conservatives here who have bought into the race bait,
Affirmative Acton says that you will be hired or admitted relative to your population in a particular area. Nationwide, Asians are 5 percent of the population. In Ivy League schools they are about 20 percent of the admitted students. You are not discriminated against when 3-4 times your population is admitted into a college. Asians are not being discriminated against in admissions, and if there is any discrimination going on with Asians it has nothing to do with something that advantages blacks at the expense of Asians. It is white racism in the workplace and on college campuses that happens to every other minority, that denies ASIANS upward mobility just like every other minority group.
Asian Americans Aren’t ‘Basically White’ – Here Are 5 Ways Racism Hurts Us
I am Asian American and I hate teaching Asian American Studies. I’ve been doing it for about 5 years now and I regret to say it’s one of the most harrowing and downright painful experiences I repeatedly endure.
Is it because I hate my own kind? Absolutely not.
It’s because I frequently find that my students say some problematic, frightening, and downright erroneous things to resist seeing themselves as people of color who are oppressed. These include but are not limited to the following:
“No one’s ever been racist toward me.”
“It’s not like we’re Black.”
“We haven’t experienced racism in this country.”
“It’s worse in my home country.”
…or my least favorite and the inspiration for this article,
“We’re basically white.”
Yet while our experiences as Asian Americans differ from other groups, we — like all other people of color in the United States — live with the daily ramifications of white supremacy. And that distinguishes us from white America.

So you conservative Asians here talking stupid better understand that you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book, the white method of dividing minority groups, pitting one against the other so they can get what they want.
Thus endedth todays less.
If you call what I described a quota, then we have always operated in a quota system in this nation. The quota was 100 percent white and zero for everyone else.
Asians don't have to out perform anyone. This is a lie. What evidence is this based on? SAT scores? But SAT scores are but one factor, not the factor. So how do Asians have to outperform anyone? Do they need to participate in more extra curricular activities in high school? Do they have to play more sports?. Do they have to get more active in the community? Do they need to have an interesting hobby or play a musical instrument? Do they have interesting circumstances that might compel a college to select them? Do they come from economic disadvantage? I mean you just can't fall for what whites tell you and the ask me to answer a question based on a false belief.
In this same study that has you making this claim, in which Ann Lee lied to you, the study showed that blacks and Hispanics are punished more for scores under 1,200 and rewarded less for scores over 1,300 than Asians. So who really has to outperform who?
This is why it's good to go look for the information and learn for yourself what it says instead of stupidly repeating what you get told from people with agendas such as these whites here.
SAT scores are not the only qualifier colleges use and never has been.
Look kiddo, I have made all the right choiceis, That's why I am 56 and retired. So don't lecture me . You have falle for a load of ofcrap. That's what's up.
Little boy I have been on this earth almost twice as long as you have. I have seen the world I wanted to see to this point. If you don't like what I am saying then don't come in here. I retired after doing 32 years of work the black community. I have seen the sadness that white racism has caused. You haven/t apparently. That's part of the world also dumb ass. I don't want to see that kind of sadness continue. So then no matter how well you think I have done, I am going to speak out on this problem and I am gong to show whites the lie they live in. And if you want to join them I can show your ass too.
