It seems I got bait and switched somewhere in this comment chain. It started with Asians and somehow we're talking about Filipinos. I will go back to my original statement and repeat it:

Asians don’t have a representation issue in education.

If you think representation doesn't matter, that we live in a pure meritocracy, that only grades and tests scores matter, then attempts to fix injustice will seem silly to you. The smallest minority is the individual, so if you insist on breaking down racial-subcategories enough, you will always find "winners" and "losers" in attempts to redress injustice.
