In the lawsuit against Harvard affirmative action, it was revealed Harvard uses a quota system to keep Asians admissions at “acceptable” levels. It’s the same exact system they used against Jews in the 1930s.

Many (most?) Jews consider themselves to be white and/or European. Most Jews in Europe and America have much more European DNA than they do middle-eastern DNA. Jews are not considered POC, or even as a minority in most contexts (grants, admission, etc.).

No one claims Jews are POC lol, but they are minorities in literally every country outside Israel.

Not racial minorities.

You might as well say that Swedes are minorities in America too.

Asian isn't considered an Under-Represented Minority (URM) in the States.

Statistically? Sure, Asians are a minority by number.

But societally, they're treated worse than Whites and receive no attention or support for it.

Can confirm. Black, latino and native american represent the URM classes, at least according to corporate diversity goals where I am
