Should college acceptance to based on grades and test scores rather than ethnicity or race?
Or should they break down race into ethnicity? For example, a certain percentage of Asians? Or a certain percentage of Japanese Americans and Vietnamese Americans?

This is one of those uncomfortable conversations that the leftist media refused to talk about. It’s a very racist practice to limit Asian people from universities simply because their culture and family values helped them succeed in school. We should want the smartest people coming out of those universities instead of lowering standards based on skin color.
If we want to cure the educational disparities of certain races we need to start by looking out the source of the problem, which is uncomfortable but necessary. It’s the accepted cultural decline that is the problem and our all knowing government has only enabled it.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Rich people game lots of systems, which is a completely different topic. This one is about affirmative action for one group of people and current racism toward another group of people. Rich minorities can also game the system or can do things the rest of us can't. Remember how the Obama's thumbed their noses at the Covid restrictions so they could have a big party?
"Supreme Court to Rule on College Affirmative Action"... this is the topic, lets try to stay with it for once.

(Hijacking my own thread) Just saw a story about a rich guy who committed suicide after he was caught trying to get his kids into a good school. Irony? In most cases, employers after a couple years care more about your work background than where you went to college.
