Dont forget to be grateful to the black people affirmative action was originally intended to help. They are the only reason you were allowed into the US and could become naturalized. They spent their limited political capital fighting for you when they didnt need to.

Still I feel like this comment falls into the same rut that has lead to the current college admissions debate. Advocating for poor people does not have to be seen as an attempt to disenfranchise or minimize the opportunities of racial minorities.
- ashwagary 4y agoNot hyperbole. Without the black civil rights fight, Asians wouldnt be able to migrate to the US and become naturalized. Black Americans arent just poor or racial minorities, they were systematically robbed of the vast majority of their "early US investor" wealth by the state for centuries. They dont and shouldnt fall into the same category of other "racial minorities" and white women when it comes to these programs.
