“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.”

In 1996 California voters passed Prop. 209 which forbade schools from using race as a factor in state college admissions.

So instead “educators” came up with other ways to give minorities bonus points, for “hardships,” which by definition, Asians rarely have.

Even so Asians make up around 50% of the students, in certain state universities.

I encourage reading of the book titled “The Bell Curve” which drives home the different IQs, and their impacts on our society.

In other words, IQ is a measure of how little hardship each family has experienced over the generations.

I read Bell Curve years ago, and also the latest by one of its authors, Charles Murray, called Coming Apart, which is about the growing class divide in America, not so much along race lines, but on education and wealth. Well worth the time.
