> The conservative WSJ using Asians as a wedge against Black people,
Actually, they're using them as a wedge against universities, because (in their opinion) they're communist-infested indoctrination centers that scam humanities majors out of six figure sums of money. Harvard would be ruined if it had to turn itself into UC Berkeley.
There's also the angle of chipping off some of the Chinese- and Korean-American electorate.

I suppose you could cite some weak sociological studies and pretend they're strong research while ignoring those that find the opposite correlation.
> I see very little curiosity about why AA might be a good thing.
There is an actual argument there, but you're not giving one, the user "markdown" is.
Edit: Sorry you got flagged again. I guess HN's mob censorship strikes in both directions.
- jquery 5y agoAll this post-racial idealism would land a lot better if we didn’t just get over 4 years of Trump, and if he wasn’t polling better than our current President. Given that, all these concerns about our precious post-racial paradise if it weren’t for those meddling progressives seems more than a little self-serving and disingenuous. I wonder how much confidence these keyboard warriors would have in person if they had to tell a black person’s lived experience of American racism was nonsense.
- SamReidHughes 5y agoIt sounds to me like you're still living in a world like the one right after the 2016 election where Democrats were all echo-chambering themselves that Trump is anti-Semitic. Party smears, versus reality.
