Why do Hispanics get affirmative action and not Asians?

Question

It seems like Asians have historically faced more prjudice the pogroms against Chinese in the 1850s, the Exclsuion Act and the internment camps. And Asian immigrants don't start off with any natural advanatages that Latino immigrants don't have. So whats the logic in treating Asians the same as whites in the affirmative action system?

Answer 1

because there are more hispanic people in higher positions and there is this "immigration" thing going. Asians face discrimination if not more racism than hispanics. It's not fair, but Affirmative Action is for hispanics and blacks.

Answer 2

Asians don't get treated the same as whites, so it's a false question. Asians are tracked as a separate group, and are looked at distinctly as a group, just as Hispanics, blacks and others are under AA regulations.
