Yea "devious" if you're not Asian. Affirmative action is a garbage policy. It should be predicated directly on financial means instead of race.

I'm Asian, my kids are going to apply to universities in America in a few years, and I'm OK with Affirmative action.

Yes, I know they might have slightly better chance of acceptance if Affirmative action is gone. So what?

Yes, affirmative action is unfair. Everything should be based on the wealth of your parents, which is fair.
