QuoteAn alliance of Asian American groups filed a federal complaint Friday against Harvard University, claiming that the school and other Ivy League institutions are using racial quotas to admit students other than high-scoring Asians.

More than 60 Chinese, Indian, Korean and Pakistani groups came together for the complaint, which was filed with the civil rights offices at the Justice and Education departments. The groups are calling for an investigation and say these schools need to stop using racial quotas or racial balancing in admission.

"We are seeking equal treatment regardless of race," said Chunyan Li, a professor and civil rights activist, who said they'd rather universities use income rather than race in affirmative action policies.

Yeah....finally.  The liberals couldn't put them on their liberal plantation. 

Asians have done wonders for MIT. Maybe they can bring Harvard back; it'll be an uphill battle.

Oh I agree.  Here in So. Calif. we have an area called "Little Saigon".  I can remember running into a lot of the refugees.  It was amazing to me how many of these kids became valedictorians of their classes, and they had to overcome not just the poverty, but the culture and language hurdles.

What they Have accomplished is what conservatives preach on a daily basis. So why are they not coming over the Conservative Republican side in bigger numbers? You want to offset the Hispanic vote and the black vote? Wouldn't our message and time be better spent winning the Asian American vote? By all reports they are the fastest growing group of emigrants!!

Silly Asians, lib college is not about education. Indoctrination is all they care about.

If they win in court and it is upheld this could kill affirmative action as we know it. This really could be one to watch and support!
