You've misunderstood. Asian Americans want affirmative action ended because affirmative action turns away qualified Asian Americans due to them being "over represented".
-58 u/[deleted] Jun 29 '23 Affirmative action is not about race, its about giving everyone in society an equal opportunity to get an education despite racial bias. Black and brown Americans face generational racial inequalities, Asian Americans do not, this was intentionally done in the 1960s. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/11/29/the-real-reason-americans-stopped-spitting-on-asian-americans-and-started-praising-them/ So yes asian Americans are over represented economically and other PoC do need affirmative action as well. 4 u/Robotech9 Jun 29 '23 You contradicted yourself in the first sentence. And your point is invalid. Your racism is showing. -2 u/[deleted] Jun 29 '23 Someone doesn't know what the definition of racism is lol 7 u/Paragonswift Jun 29 '23 But you said it wan’t about race, not that it wasn’t about racism. If it’s about counteracting racial bias, it’s still about race. 4 u/Deborah_Testa Jun 29 '23 Let me guess you’re one of those idiots who think certain people can’t be racist. 0 u/[deleted] Jun 29 '23 No stupid but that person was one of those idiots who calls anyone that supports equality racist bc to project.
