"Asians are not a protected minority in the U.S. Blacks and Hispanics are. Don't believe me? Try getting into college with a 4.0 GPA and an Asian last name. Tough luck. But mention somewhere on your application or admission essay that you are Black or Hispanic, and doors are opened wide for you."

"What kind of a country downplays academic merit in favor of racially-based (and biased) criteria for admission to university?"

My apologies you are correct. I was being sarcastic anyway but your definitely right. Asians and whites are penalized and punished for their efforts. It's sick, and those who advocate this type of thing should be tossed out of the country.

Thanks.

I agree with you on not having racial categories on applications. People should be judged on their merits.
