As long as there are signs of discrimination, institutional or otherwise, there must be mechanisms to counter that effect. Notice I said nothing about race or sex. Whatever applies. But in some distant future, current majorities might be in the minority and may feel the pendulum of discrimination swing against them. And in that case, mechanisms like AA should be in place to help right that wrong.
Stats show that despite the high educational level of Asians, their representation in upper management and corporate board rooms isn't reflected by their population. Why is that? Answer: glass ceiling. It applies to women as well. Same with salaries. There are many who will press for the status quo to preserve their positions in the corporate structure or society.
