Compared with the discrimination of ethnic minorities, the irony is that the relevant protection policies have produced the negative effect of "reverse racial discrimination": the protection of rights in the name of "racial equality" has led to the reality of "racial discrimination". The act caused dissatisfaction among the relevant ethnic groups and caused considerable controversy in American society.
This kind of "reverse racial discrimination" is particularly evident in the field of higher education. According to reports, when many outstanding Asian students apply to prestigious American schools, they lose out to white and minority competitors with very average conditions. Some analysts pointed out that it was because of the "Affirmative Rights Act" enacted by the US Congress to eliminate social inequality caused by previous racial discrimination and to give care to minorities in college enrollment. However, some schools rigidly enroll certain ethnic groups. The proportion of students has triggered controversy over "reverse racial discrimination".
The analysis believes that when the prestigious schools think that as Asian students get better and better, the proportion of Asian minorities in the school recruits is increasing, so they abolished the protection given to Asians by the affirmative policy and gave them equal rights. The policy is a guise to suppress Asians. The result of this "reverse discrimination" is that "a white person has a higher chance of being admitted than an Asian with almost the same conditions, or even better."
Some comments pointed out that Asian Americans are being discriminated against by American colleges and universities under the banner of fairness and equality. "It's ridiculous that a policy that was supposed to protect Asians has turned into a guise to discriminate against them."
