The arguments waged aginst AA in America are done by people who haven't looked at the facts and who got race hustled into what they believe.
Here is an Asian-American, (notice that Asians can hyphenate to show their ancestry without getting the whitebread lecture), who explains what blacks have known about why whites chose to make the claims they do about Asians. It is backlash against us for leading the movement to erase overt white supremacy.
Actually, I've never heard "Asian-Americans" call themselves Asian Americans. They usually identify by their nationality. If you talk to Mrs. B131, she won't describe herself as "Asian", she'll describe herself as Chinese. And I can say the same for Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese and Filipinos I know. (All of whom make more money than White folks do on average.)
Frankly, I look at this girl, and I wonder how disappointed her parents must be that after one or two generations, she's gone soft.
She talks like a college student, but she looks older judging by the gray hair and wrinkles. The lack of accent indicates she's about as far from the immigrant experience as I am.
The problem with AA is that is punishing people who didn't do anything wrong for the actions of people who are mostly dead now against other people who are mostly dead now. It becomes more absurdist when it limits Asian Americans, who clearly had nothing to do with the wrongs.
