The gap b/w Asian men and white men is the same as the gap b/w white men and white women.

Clearly the only explanation for this is institutionalized racism, gender bias and bigotry. Could you imagine affirmitive action covering white men to close the gap?

IIRC, The UC system has changed its admissions policies in a way that reduces the proportion of admissions based on the metrics that Asians do most well on:

A few decades ago, UC schools were investigated for allegedly being biased against Asians in admissions:

In practice, many parts of the rhetoric of "diversity" and "inclusion" end up using the same tactics as the jewish quotas that were implemented a hundred years ago in the name of white supremacy.

Resentment and discrimination towards a successful minority is nothing new, only now the resentment is in the name of a rainbow coalition rather than just white people from western europe.

Same thing happening at Ivy League schools. I believe there is a class action lawsuit in progress now.
