There is a great story about Reagan when he was governor. Someone explained to him that if college admission was done completely on the basis of academic merit, the California state college system would be almost completely filled with Asians.
Reagan's reply -- "So?"
But I guess the Liberals at Harvard are not so fair, tolerant, or open-minded.

Of course it’s biased against Asians! It’s because the color of their skin, silly!!
To: BenLurkin
Well, it’s not like they ever hid their bias.

Does Harvard have vastly lower standards for certain races?

The coalition is seeking a federal investigation and is requesting Harvard immediately cease and desist from using stereotypes, racial biases and other discriminatory means in evaluating Asian-American applicants.Would it be possible to change that to "in evaluating any applicants?"
To: Dr. Pritchett
Well, a lot of Harvard faculty worked on various WW2 weapons projects back in the day.
Clearly to Harvard all Asians are Japs.

Asian-Americans have to score on average about 140 points higher than white students, 270 points higher than Hispanic students and 450 points higher than African-American students to equal their chances of gaining admission to Harvard. why bother even having students take the SAT then? Just decide what the racial quotas will be and execute.

Uh, you know you Harvard liberals are committing RACISM here, don’t you know? Yeah, I guess those damn Asians aren’t following the program of being underachievers, and needing the Democratic Party to help them. Isn’t it awful when a group of people actually work hard, and despite living in such a “racist” nation, accomplish great things? What kind of country are we becoming? These people actually want to be great and self-reliant on their own. Why, this can’t be allowed to happen in the leftist utopian world.

Asian Americans, are viewed as too uppity, and as betraying the ‘helpless’ minority image.

Yet, as a whole, Asian Americans are solidly Dem voting block.
Don’t ask me why.

Your typical Asian candidate has a gazillion impressive extracurriculars as well—so the real hit there is on their ‘leadership potential’. Too quiet, not assertive enough, is the stereotype there.
To: BenLurkin
There are a LOT of Asians in this country now and the vast majority of them know what’s happening to their kids because of Democrat policies.
REPUBLICANS could, I repeat COULD, capitalize on this and bring them on board, but they will have to first stop trying to figure out what language they speak (hint to Republicans: they speak dozens of languages), and they will have to be careful on immigration - which is doable without angering the base.

There is an anti-merit bias permeating the formerly "elite" universities.
How long until they crazy-stupid themselves out of business?

Since they’re so smart, maybe they can help the nation figure a way to dilute reverse racism and return to some sort of merit system where it matters. The progressive campaign against truthful definitions is ruining everything.
