Correct. It is also Asians (mainly the students parents) who are the most bitter about this situation in California.

Very true. In many ways Affirmative Action is a mechanism for discriminating legally against Jews in the East, and Asians in the West.

I worry some about my adopted son from the Russian Far East, who is not outstandingly academically gifted,but IS classified as Asian (he is an indigenous tribal Kamchatkan by ethnicity.) He has it all against him, by being "average" in academic aptitudes, and "Asian" --- expected to do a whole LOT BETTER than average --- by census classification.

I'm thinking he should re-define himself as Russian. But no: that would be white, and so not much better, quota-wise. Would "Pacific islander" be better? Kamchatka isn't exactly a Pacific Island, but for ethnicity, it's the same "stock." (Hate that word.).

This isn't him, but similar. Vanya's Russian, but not at all Slavic or European; Indigenous Pacific RFE, but not exactly Asian.

Gad. I despise the intricate race discrimination imposed on us by the Left and their stupid diversity schemes.
