Thanks I didn't knew that. Having said that Harvard and Stanford is last rung. Those who are able to reach those places are already prevailed I would argue. Is there similar affirmitive action in place on lower levels as well?
India has it across the board which help more IMHO. Some communities have used it so much that now debate within the lower sections have started that reservation should be taken away after 3 generations.[1]

- whimsicalism 6y agoYes, it occurs across the board. Rather than asking me about it, just google "affirmative action in the US." Given that 90% of people from India in SWE seem to be from higher caste (I don't really know the exact statistic but it is something like that), then it seems like the reservation is still needed.
- drieddust 6y agoCaste system is not that simple for example Jats are under reservation in one state but considered upper caste in adjacent state and gets no reservation. Yes Reservation is still needed. India is big and people who got oppressed under colonial rule would take a few generations more to come up. Bigger issue is exploitation of caste lines for politics.
