    Debates over affirmative action sometimes turn into arguments with other minority groups over who is more oppressed, obscuring common struggleshttps://nyti.ms/2ygU28h

        Asian Americans do not see themselves as victims, so they will not allow Big Brother to turn them into victims, I hope.

        The gov't should eliminate affirmative action. It's old worn out & misused. People who get free education & jobs through that program most of the time don't appreciate it because they didn't really earn it. They act entitled. Ask people in the workplace & colleges!

        The problem with manufacturing victims is that after awhile there is too much competition for government-distributed advantages. Maybe we would ALL be better off with folks who look for the good in their lives & the society in which they live.

        50 years of Affirm Action and no improvement in performance tests. Seems like we need an off-ramp to these failed Sociology pseudo-science programs.

        Affirmative action is racist. Merit and achievement should be the only measure.

        It’s amazing that allegedly smart people believe that you can help some racial groups without hurting others. The # of admissions is finite and fixed. If you don’t get this, then you haven’t developed the cognitive ability of ‘conservation’ which is usually acquired around age 7

        Still trying to figure out how minorities somehow are less capable than majority demographics. People who think this is a thing are the real societal problems in current year.

        All the minorities need to stop playing victim and these schools need to start accepting kids on test scores and not grouping people together.
