发帖数: 8358 | 11 这其实是个unintended consequence。并不是说AA是为了照顾亚裔。
大家有兴趣可以看看，UCLA的law school的教授Richard Sander的研究成果，叫做
mismatch effect。
这个Richard Sander是强烈反对AA的，但是他的出发点很有趣，他是觉得废除AA对黑人
有利。他研究发现，几乎50%的黑人学生在大学的后面20%，越被照顾上大学的学生表现
反而越差。这些人还不如去上差一些的学校，发展反而会更好。
这些黑人由于被拔高后，放在一个对他们不利的竞争环境当中竞争。长期的竞争劣势导
致他们对自己失去了信心。导致非常高的dropout rate。最后成为律师，医生，和教授
的黑人少之又少。
目前所有对AA正经的研究（发表在peer review journal上的）都发现，AA对想要保护
的对象其实是不利的。到目前为止没有反例。所谓对这些研究的反驳都是喊口号，政治
正确，没有事实数据支持。
其实这个原因也很清楚。大家都应该都体会过。比如说我们有很多清华北大毕业的。要
