There is no justice or fairness in America anymore.

If a man can pose as a woman to get into women's sports, why can't an Asian pose as another race to get into college?

Wang should have applied to National University of Singapore or a similar genuinely elite school overseas. Harvard and Princeton now exist to train Deep State junior officers - and require criteria other than merit for admission.

Yes, this is unfair. And, yes, this crap needs to stop. Affirmative action is un-American.

With all that said, Mr. Wang will do just fine as a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech. I’ll bet he’ll be a hell of an engineer. Yes, it sucks to be the victim of discrimination. But one might argue that he’ll get a better education at Georgia Tech and fraternize with better, nicer people than he’d have met at Princeton.

Apparently, the 74% of Asian Americans that do not favor racial preferences in admissions would be much lower if the racial preferences adversely impacted the white pool rather than their own identity collective. Indeed, an Asian American group, not about to surrender their virtue feathers while retaining their mantle of victimhood, submitted a friend of the court legal brief positing the piling on legal argument that the history of structural white racism dictates that preferences could be afforded black and brown applicants but should be offset by limiting admissions from the white tribe not their own tribe. With friends like these throwing you under the partially colorblind bus, etc lol

He just got an education of a different kind.

Life ain’t fair.

Especially in our Woke upside down world, where hard work and excellence mean nothing if your skin color isn’t the right shade.

Its a quite common phenomenon actually. Young Asian men with excellent grades face huge barriers.

It works the other way too - I know a young (black) man, son of two Nigerian doctors, among the top students at his private high school, strong at math, well-spoken, did well on SATs.

He knew the game. He applied to every Ivy League school - just so he could claim he was admitted to every Ivy League school - which he was.

Life rule #1: Life ain’t fair deal with it.

He shoulda also applied to some of the Yuge enrollment # Land Grant Institutions.

I suspect that the six he chose to apply to could not handle all of the American kids who scored 1600.

He’s apparently not that bright.

Everything I've read from "experts" suggests that the case before SCOTUS right now is likely to go in favor of the plaintiffs.So Harvard will have to come up with a Plan B in order to guarantee "equity" and "inclusion".

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.

A lot of very high quality students get passed over at the elite Universities. My daughter had a perfect 1600 SAT, 4.85 GPA and was valedictorian of every graduating class in every school she graduated from since kindergarten. She refused to use her legacy status on her university application because she wanted to get accepted on her own merit and she did not get an admit. The scandal here is the number of MUCH lower qualified students who do get accepted because of connections and affirmative action /diversity admits.

Hey Jon, apply to Hillsdale. There, you’ll get a solid education and won’t be brainwashed.

Date: June 28, 1978
Location: California Davis United States
Key People: Harry A. Blackmun Lewis F. Powell, Jr.

Bakke decision, formally Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, ruling in which, on June 28, 1978, the U.S. Supreme Court declared affirmative action constitutional but invalidated the use of racial quotas. The medical school at the University of California, Davis, as part of the university’s affirmative action program, had reserved 16 percent of its admission places for minority applicants. Allan Bakke, a white California man who had twice unsuccessfully applied for admission to the medical school, filed suit against the university. Citing evidence that his grades and test scores surpassed those of many minority students who had been accepted for admission, Bakke charged that he had suffered unfair “reverse discrimination” on the basis of race, which he argued was contrary to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court, in a highly fractured ruling (six separate opinions were issued), agreed that the university’s use of strict racial quotas was unconstitutional and ordered that the medical school admit Bakke, but it also contended that race could be used as one criterion in the admissions decisions of institutions of higher education. Although the ruling legalized the use of affirmative action, in subsequent decisions during the next several decades the court limited the scope of such programs, and several U.S. states prohibited affirmative action programs based on race.

I knew homeschoolers with PERFECT scores who were rejected by the Ivies.

But, they all went to other universities where they were happy.
