I don't know, arbitrarily making it more difficult for a certain group of people to compete against others based on their race smells kind of like racism to me. Is that even debatable? Where are the pitchforks? I don't think that's politics. It's racism/discrimination right in front of us. Do Asian lives matter?

Without taking sides, this is also the exact argument that someone in favor of affirmative action would make.

It is interesting that people can come to the table with essentially the same argument, but diametrically opposed views.
