whites are over 70% of the U.S. population, an over 50% of NYNY, so whenever they are below that percentage they are underrepresented. Don't gimme crap about "why don't they focus on white as they were also over-represented."
It's about who is qualified. They should focus on the best candidates regardless of their ethnicity. Affirmative action works against Asians as they are highly qualified relative to their numbers. Are you going to punish a population for having a high number of qualified applicants? Just because whites are a certain percentage does not give them a right to demand that percentage of acceptance. It's about who the top candidates are and MANY are Asian.
