Sorry, in my last post what I meant to ask GUEST,AR282 was "Are you saying that Asians are not considered part of the protected class?
I thought that Asians were included in the protected class category and would therefore be eligible for affirmative action.

BTW, I also like the idea that poverty should be a criteria for affirmative action. The problem is how would poverty be defined, and how soon would it be before the government ended affirmative action completely. Bottom line- is I don't trust our government to do the right thing.
