If we needed further proof affirmative action wasn’t working for some groups – look no further than admissions of Asian students to elite colleges.

Two years after the Supreme Court banned use of race in deciding college admissions, the percentage of Asian American freshmen has nearly doubled to 45% at Johns Hopkins University, according to newly compiled data.

“I was like, wow, that’s a big one,” Yiatin Chu, a Queens mother who’s soon to start preparing to go through the college process with her teenager, told The Post.

This illustrates the degree to which these universities were discriminating against Asians.

Before they discriminated against Asians, they discriminated against Jews, Irish, Italians and other newly arrived immigrant groups.

Many of these elite univsersities were founded by W.A.S.P.'s, some of whome were slave traders.  These instiutions strived to keep their blood as blue as it was when their ancestors first stepped off the Mayflower.

A Yankee is a W.A.S.P. without a trust fund.

Yup.

I have no problems with the concept of "discrimination", so long as it's applied rationally.

Where we SHOULD be "discriminating":
Against foreign students, particularly Chinese.

Sorry if you don't care for this reply.

1/2-2/3 of my coworkers are Chinese spies? Most are from Taiwan, but they are ethnic Chinese.
