We can look back at history and come up with a thousand reasons to support any cause that exists today. Asians were discriminated when they were brought in to work on the railroads, are we going to factor that into the admission process too? So in the end, is it just going to be a battle of which race had the worst time in history?

The point is, instead of chasing the fool's dream of finding who was hurt the most in history, we can just make sure everybody has the opportunity to be successful. It's not perfect today but it is still better than hurting one group of people in order to boost another.
