You only measure priviledge through wealth? Ok....

Keep blaming your problems on racism while the brown-skinned Indian Americans are driving around in their Bentleys enjoying all the finer things this country has to offer lol.

White people should get affirmative action to catch up to brown-skinned Indian Americans.

Of all Indian Americans 25 years of age or older residing in New Hampshire, more than 83% possessed a bachelor's degree of higher. (Source: 2000 US Census Bureau Report)

There also may be cognitive differences between Asians and Caucasians. Asian Americans for example frequently outscore European American on the math portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. In the United States moreover, people of Asian Indian Korean, filipino, and Chinese descent are more likely to graduate high school and complete four years of college than European American, African American and Latino and Latina American

Already happening

http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2005/06/asian-americans-hurt-by-affirmative.html


From Gene Expression, results of a new Princeton study showing that if affirmative action were eliminated at elite universities, 80% of the previously reserved slots would go to Asian Americans. I predict little or no protest from model-minority Asians over this. The paper can be found here, but you need a subscription to Social Science Quarterly to read it.

The researchers' results seem to be in agreement with what happened at Berkeley after UC was forced to drop affirmative action - the main effect was a drop in the numbers of black and hispanic students, a big increase in the number of Asians and little effect on the white population.

Why wouldn't white and Asian-American applicants benefit equally if admission were purely by merit? It sounds suspiciously like the quota system imposed on Jews early in the 20th century. Previous research by these authors showed that being Asian was statistically equivalent to a penalty of 50 points on SAT score. (Probably due to preference awarded to "legacies", who are predominantly white.)


Happy?

Indians are (probably) the most educated of all Americans.  Well, at least around here.  All of my Chem teachers and lab TA's (note, a science) have been Indian.  So is our family doctor.  Good for them, I guess.

We get the best of the best of India.
The rest of them are stuck in India.

All of the doctors and surgeons in India LEAVE because they get payed so low and they have high-paying jobs.
