California Tax Class
March 8th, 2010
Question: University of california/Berkeley’s incoming freshman class majority(51%)asian, and 3% black? Problem here?
No more affirmative action in Cali brings us to this interesting combination. Time to bring back affimative action? How much asian is too much asian? Is the Golden State’s college system turning into Shanghai east? Is 51% Asian and 3% black the diversity berkeley is looking for? I thought they were a progessive,
formerly radical 60s school. Why should non-asian parents
support with their tax dollars a school that is majority asian, where
their kids don’t have a chance of getting admitted? The asian
kids study to the exclusion of extracurricular activities in our cali
high schools. While the anglos/blacks/hispanics are playing football/baseball/basketball, they are studying. While the anglos/blacks/hispanics are dating and enjoying their teen-age years, they are studing. Now, the asian kids have kicked the Bell
Curve so high that a kid has to live in the library to have any hope of getting into a prestigious public school…….I’m sorry, but something is wrong here……
Answer: Interesting that you seem to suggest that white people should be for affirmative action to allow more whites into the school, but against affirmative action if it is used to allow more blacks into the school. So whatever benefits the whites is right? If admission is based on scholastic merit, and must be color blind, then how can you possibly object if the people who study the hardest and perform the best academically get the most places in prestigious colleges? What would you suggest as an alternative basis for admission? And remember that all Californians are supporting the University of California system, in addition to the Cal State system, and lots of other things that their kids might not get admitted to. All Californians also pay taxes for prisons that are disproportionately black and Latino. Is that unfair? It is offensive to suggest that whites should not pay for a system that benefits Asians disproportionately, just because white kids can’t be bothered to study hard enough to get in.

‘High tuition, high aid’: Do California college fee hikes actually help the poor?
The state of California is no longer subsidizing every college students’ education. Instead, students whose families earn at least $70,000 per year are footing more of the bill. That makes it possible for students whose families earn less to pay no tuition at all. The new ‘high tuition, high aid’ model represents a profound shift that has quietly taken root as California universities make good …
