Asian-American who scored 1590 out of 1600 on SAT, got 4.65 GPA says he applied to Harvard, Princeton, 4 other elite colleges — and they all rejected him

Jon Wang, an Asian-American, achieved a nearly perfect sore of 1590 out of 1600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test and attained 4.65 grade-point average in high school — well beyond perfect.

Most folks likely would assume that waves of red carpets would come rolling in from elite colleges that would love nothing more than to scoop up a student boasting such numbers.

Indeed, Wang told Fox Nation he applied to six "top-tier" institutions of higher learning — Harvard, Princeton, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, Carnegie-Mellon, and the University of California, Berkeley.

But the verdict — despite Wang's performance, which included a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT — was a resounding no from all six schools, the cable network program said.… [they] told me I had a 20% chance of getting accepted to Harvard as an Asian-American and a 95% chance as an African-American," Wang told Fox Nation.

Good to see that a kid from another country with no documentable victimhood in our country is treated with more rights then tenth generation American kids (like mine).

Justice, ya know?

The Chinese and Japanese in this country traditionally have voted Democrat. You reap what you sow.

It will eventually come out that this issue is largely contrived and in many cases the individual claims are fake. Too many people want to push Asian as superior and make whites look bad at the same time.

The University of North Texas was a big party school when I was there.

All these smart dudes rejected by the Ivy’s need to start all going to some smaller schools and make their own Ivy League.

He should identify as a female. As soon as classes start he can change at will. How can there NOT be a place for a lawsuit here. This is in complete contravention of the law, and the US Constitution.

My daughter was pretty much the same with academics but was also heavy into athletics, student gov’t and community service. She was waitlisted at 4 Ivy’s and UChicago. Accepted in UVA and USNA where she ended up. Asian and whites have to bring something extra to the table, legacy maybe?

So, we should just lie back and take it? We should celebrate racial discrimination?

Only a pathetic cuck would just “accept” it.

“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.” CSA GEN George Casey on Diversity after the Ft Hood shooting- 8 NOV 2008

Yes, that’s right. Even worse than mass murder of our service members.

So why do Asian people keep voting for leftist democrats? Of course, being Jewish, I have to ask the same question for my fellow Jews.

The world over, leftism is driven by population density. The more communal someone's lifestyle, the more communist they become.

There is a conscious, intentional discrimination against Asian Americans in order to favor African Americans.
