All-American Rejects: The Left's Racist War on Meritocracy
Townhall ^ | Mia Cathell

Posted on 06/02/2023 5:02:10 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Any day now, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue rulings in a pair of landmark cases Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) has brought forth against Harvard and the University of North Carolina, alleging that their race-based college admissions practices actively discriminate against high-achieving students who don't fit the woke mold, often Asian American applicants.

Townhall has conducted a series of sitdown interviews, in the lead-up to the much-anticipated SCOTUS decisions, with Asian American community members outraged over the Ivy League's racial gatekeeping and affirmative action's trickle-down effects, now seeping into suburbia. As an affront to the race-obsessed Left's forever war on meritocracy, and in unyielding defense of the American Dream, which we, like many, believe is well worth fighting for, here are their firsthand accounts from the frontline:

Jon Wang, Harvard University reject now-attending the Georgia Institute of Technology

Harvard hopeful Jon Wang, currently a freshman at Georgia Tech double-majoring in mathematics and computer science, was rejected by the Crimson's guard despite submitting a near-perfect SAT score. Achieving an elusive 1590, just 10 short of the total possible points, Wang outperformed 99 percent of all other test-takers, which also meant he placed among the top 1 percent.

"It's harder to gain acceptance as an Asian American..." Wang, remaining "cautiously optimistic" at the time, recalled his high school counselor telling him, in essence. "They didn't really give me much advice other than to try to appear a bit less Asian."

For example, Wang said, "Don't write your essays about Chinese traditions or things commonly associated with Asian culture."

Well, Tech is glad to have him.

LOL! How is he supposed to do that?

In other news … yesterday it was announced that Harvard has hired Lori Lightfoot to teach. No, that is not satire. Kids applying to colleges seriously need to consider whether they want to go to a school where they have instructors that cannot read, write and speak the American language and do not have the ability to do simple arithmetic. I highly doubt Lightfoot’s IQ breaks the low 90’s.

Harvard has become a complete joke. Their credentials (degrees) mean nothing and anyone that tries to gain credibility by extolling their degree from Harvard is seriously lacking confidence. They are not able give credibility to their ideas through more substantial means, such as articulating in a clear, logical and cogent manner.

Kissing Black Ass is an existential necessity for the leftists. They hold power by kowtowing to the Black Africans who determine the majority. If only a very slim margin of the Black African vote is lost, the leftist cause is lost.

Overwhelmning crime and corruption and general mayhem in the cities is the price for existentially holding on to the Black African vote.

“try to appear a bit less Asian”

The kid needs to “find” his long lost Native American or Hispanic ancestor.

Everybody is doing it....

And at the same time, the Democrats are destroying the black communities they claim to support.

The only black people the Democrat Left is helping are the race baiters like Al Sharpton and the BLM Marxists (who are now broke).

Obviously nothing similar to what was tried to make Sean Connery look more Asian.
