Well, as for asians, many asian groups such as APALSA (Asian Pacific-American Law Student Assoc.) hate being regarded as the "model minority."
MagiK, mandated quotas are right out, as J. Cleese would say. As for the Army/Warrior rules you mention, well I stay out of it. Like I said regarding gays in the military, the military is allowed to make its own rules as it sees fit.
Further, I myself have been the victim of affirmative action, as have I'm sure many folks out there who are melanin-challenged. But, I have also seen instances - many of them - where you simply could not tell a difference between the candidates. I have seen hiring situations where 500 applicants were weeded down to 5, and there was no really definitive way at that point to split hairs regarding the final cut. At that point, I am okay with making a decision to hire someone based on race. Hell, you have to use an arbitrary classification at that point. So, be it whether they are Nicks fans, from South Carolina, Sienfeld fans, or black or asian, you are making an arbitrary decision - any one of which is as justified as the other.
