Same or lower standard of education compared to other places, but at 10X the cost. It's like Brand named education.

all asians still get affirmative action status in the US

[iranus No.3772843]

I don't normally live in the US, but affitmitive action makes sense, right? the black community had worked very hard and were very oppressed at one time, and the way to even the playing field for all communities would be to allow them access to educations a little better given their socioeconomic status than the mainstream populous.

Sure I guess, but it's been 50 years since segregation ended and such. Most would argue that it's time to end it

No, they don't, I don't know why you said that but it's massively untrue to the point of being fucking retarded and you should feel bad for making that post.

there are lots of studies that show black people with identical qualifications are less likely to be accepted by admissions than white people

that's the reason for affirmative action, white people start with an advantage in getting accepted

Asians don't get affirmative action, despite being just as poor as blacks.

We aren't equal. Deal with it.

I admittedly don't know much about the issue, I was just trying to outline why people may object to affirmative action more than anything. Personally, I think it should be ended, but I have thought much about it.

Asians are the wealthiest race in america, on average. Affirmative action does screw you them over on college entrances and stem jobs because they're "over represented". But still, affirmative action helps asians in other areas, and to say that they are just as poor as blacks is simply false.

I'm black, for whatever that's worth

The point of going to any college is to be able to say you went to college. You could learn all the same shit in a library if you're dedicated enough, probably in less time too. But you don't get a degree for it, and without a degree you can't get a job in the field.

The word "Harvard' impresses employers, and thus is worth going to. Your education is very much dependent on who you are as a student, not so much your school.

Only if you happen to be Eliezer Yudkowsky, but the principle remains true.

Blacks (and Australian Aboriginals) are known to overestimate their abilities, even academic ones. This is a well-published statistical phenomena. IIRC, East Asians actually rate their own abilities lower than blacks do, yet we all know who actually possesses more ability.
