Asian Americans have been slandered by some on the left as the "ideal minority" and not worthy of extra consideration or support. "The repetitiveness of the affirmative-action debate has come about, in large part, because both the courts and the media have mostly ignored the Asian American plaintiffs and chosen, instead, to relitigate the same arguments about merit, white supremacy, and privilege." "the commentators defending affirmative action ...dismissed the plaintiffs as pawns who had been duped by a conservative legal activist." Affirmative action is a political weapon and its effect has had a damaging effect on innocent people, particularly Asians. The media, the left, and just about everyone in between discounted Asians in the name of reducing "white, etc." acceptance at university.
