In the university of California system after affirmative action was thrown
overboard Asians although 12% of the population garnered 40% of the
places. This did not go down well with whites in particular.

So the requirements were changed to reduce the effect of exams.

But Lo and behold financial crisis called for more out of state students.
And where did they come from - China.

Down here the Vietnamese 'wiseguys' are a problem. They like to follow winners home from the casinos to the north of us.

Not 'exchange students.' We're not sending students to China. These guys come here and pay full tuition, (sponsored of course).
