Actually they are.

No affirmative action initiative has ever explicitly excluded any race or gender.

The problem with Asians in higher education is that their representation in educational institutions is exponentially out of line with their representation of the total population. They make up such a high percentage that they screw up their own curve.

Ironically if affirmative action did not exist then white kids might be screaming for it because the best colleges would all be full of Asians.
