This hurts Asian Americans in the short term but increases the equity of admission and also access to resources for other minorities in the long term. The discrimination serves a purpose other than just racial discrimination, as if there were a school of just Asian Americans, who on average already do well, it is not useful for other minorities to ascend as well. Before anyone says that admissions should be completely fair, that could work if everyone has the same access to money and education, but it has been shown that this is not true, so I understand why such discrimination against Asian Americans towards other racial minorities happens. The goal should be equity first and foremost and anything else second.
