The study into Harvard admissions showed that the group that really loses out from affirmative action were the Asian Americans. They need much higher test scores than whites or blacks. And yet 22 percent of the class is Asian, compared to the 3 percent in the general population.

Black and Hispanics are underrepresented in colleges. A lot of that has to do with the poor public schools they go to. However, it is always implied to Republican voters that the blacks are not good enough to go to college, and the only way they get in is through affirmative action.

Ironically, most of the Republican voters who fall for this are in states which have the lowest per capita income and the lowest academic achievement.
