The whole POINT of affirmative action is that there isn’t a quota for white people. It’s sort of filled automatically. (Also Asians, but that’s a different story.) And when I said that Jews aren’t European, I didn’t mean nationality-wise, I meant as far as in what group they’re being categorized. Then I realized that “European” apparently = “white” and I was like, “Ohhhh.”
Nobody is being accepted in order to fill a quota of white people, because they have enough white people. The quotas are for underrepresented groups (under which qualification neither white people nor Jews can be counted). Those quotas make it HARDER for white people to get in.
Your friend seems to either know something absolutely nobody else knows, like to pull your leg or have major misconceptions about affirmative action.
Signed, someone who researched affirmative action to see if she qualified as a Hispanic (I do, but I don’t feel that it’s ethical)
