Clever Orwellian move. Instead of saying they aren't rich or well connected (in comparison to the students who are accepted), she says they don't have a "tag." She's essentially saying the same thing, but she makes use of the fig-leaf word "tag" to conceal her essentially mercenary outlook.
Instead of saying she's in the business of passing on hereditary privilege and instead of saying that she doesn't want a lot of Asian students around whose parents haven't already made in in a big way (or a lot of Asian students of any sort), she puts all the blame on that innocuous word "tag."
Because nothing screams "boardroom" like four years of French Horn. :)
Compare and contrast that with Mexican border areas, where people who have been living in the US for most/all of their lives (and sometimes for generations) can barely muster a single comprehensible phrase in English.
I have to be careful. I am going to knock myself out patting myself on the back but I knew the answer.
RE: Ronald Reagan said, I dont care if every seat is held by an Asian if theyve earned the right to be there.
I wonder if there are any politicians who would dare say that today...
