Exactly. The school I went to was 46% Asian, 39% White. This was pretty much the same pattern at all the UC campuses from Davis to San Diego. Last I checked, Asians made a whopping 7% of California. Where's the outrage at Asian-only scholarships?
If these people want to make a real argument for affirmative action, make it economic based, not race based. Don't expect me to feel that a spoiled rich minority kid with mediocre grades deserves preferential treatment over an academically gifted, poor white kid just because most minority kids aren't so lucky.
