- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoAre you claiming that Asian people are not also a historically oppressed class of people in the US? c.f. Chinese Exclusion Act, internment, school segregation in California...
- virgildotcodes 4y agoNah, I didn't make any claims about Asian people. I was just referring to affirmative action as it benefits underrepresented black and brown people in the US. Frankly I haven't given it much thought outside of that context. Maybe the overarching goal should be to achieve a demographic that is roughly representative of the US population as a whole?
