“With the result that many of them wind up over their heads and failures whereas they had a much better chance of success at a lesser college or lesser law firm, etc.”
Like Obama????

Asians should consider themselves lucky. Harvard and the rest of the Ivy League discriminated against admission of Jews until WWII.

RE
As a white male I am offended that these asians are checking the white box get the same diversity benefit that I have earned by not studying as hard as them. The whole system could break down if this continues. ...

I am in awe of your grasp of the matter and your succinct sarcasm. Well done!”

Why would a 30 year-old math professor from China apply to an undergraduate university math department in the US? What would he have to gain?
To: sickoflibs
Those schools should have to take me (as a white male) over some Asians even if I don't study as hard as them to get in. That will make the world a better place to live in . Lets all hold hands and sing now. "It's a small world after all.." More appropriate to your first class comment would be to sing 'It's a small-minded world after all...'

And the flip side is that a stupid ignorant black like zero skates through school and becomes president to oppress Whites and Asians.
zero will go to Hell for sure.

Maybe affirmative action made sense in 1965 It didn't make sense in 1965 either. Merit is the only thing that has ever made sense.

“I cant speak to college bias for Asians, but I can speak to medical school bias. The numbers do not lie - If an applicant is Asian, they need a higher GPA, a higher MCAT, and more extra curriculars than a white candidate. And a white candidate needs higher stats than a black or hispanic candidate. Men in all catagories need higher scores than women.”
So the bottom-line, when someone is about to cut my chest open, is to use an Asian male if available (White male as backup). No problem from my end, I just need to know the rules of the game.

I know it to be a fact that Asians are discriminated against in college admissions. When I was applying to colleges, I had a friend with practically the same grades, standardized test scores, and credentials that I had. We both applied to the same college. I got in with a scholarship. He was rejected outright. The reason? He was a Filipino. Later, I found out from friends in the admissions office that prospective students received an extra weighting based on race. Blacks got the most extra points, hispanics the second most. Whites next. Asians got none.
This was one of my first introductions to the fact that the left is full of people who are complete hypocrites.

Yes, i’m sure this is correct, that girl did the right thing. It is like the old quotas against Jews.
To: jwalburg
To laugh. Years ago, when our kids were sending off for college catalogs, my friend’s daughter checked off *Native American* ... within a few days their mailbox was stuffed with thick envelopes with multiple scholarship offers. When the mom backtracked, and asked the daughter what happened....daughter said, *but I am a native, and I’m American, I thought that was the best choice.* [insert mother’s facepalm here]. IIRC, she made her daughter call each school and apologize. ;)
