If Canada is similar to the U.S. in this respect--that is, if we're going to have different admissions standards for them ("Asian-Americans needed nearly perfect SAT scores of 1550 to have the same chance of being accepted at a top private university as whites who scored 1410 and African Americans who got 1100"), we might as well let them have their own college--especially if they're paying an order of magnitude more of tuition.
The funny thing about affirmative action is that it penalizes intelligent american born asians the most. The intelligent and rich fobs can just jet back to their homeland and get all the prestige with accolades in China. Not to mention they can transfer knowledge and experience from the U.S. straight into Chinese companies. Whereas the U.S. is busy blocking a percentage of the smartest American born students from receiving the best education due to racial politics.
America's social policies are backwards and probably hurt competitiveness in the long run.
