I have a mixed race son. So now I have to check non-Asian for him to apply to Harvard and choose Hispanic instead? This is the problem with identity politics. Choose base on merit and stop hurting Asians bc they prioritize their study habits.

Maybe I’ll just apply him as a Female Native American and live off his political career.

Good luck with that. Put your money where your mouth us and do it then. See what happens.

Seems to working well for Elizabeth Warren. And my comment was satarical. Learn to have a sense of humor.

I admit, things have gotten so absurd that it can be hard to tell the difference. My radar is usually pretty good for it, but I guess I was off on this one! Cheers :)

People need to begin looking at alternatives to going to Harvard and schools like this. You can get a great education outside of schools who have these type of standards.Sad times were living in when schools now returning to 60s and have odacity to judge anyone by race.

I agree. I went to a tiny college just outside Boston and my professors were TOUGH. I had to work my ass off for grades, and came out a thousand times better for it. Harvard is a brand name now. Nothing there for folks except an expensive bill once they’re out.

Going to Harvard isn't about the education. It's about getting into the network.

Not just race. Harvard is not about accepting the best and brightest. It is all about accepting whoever is part of the country club.

So true. The underlying message they are sending is “ they don’t believe education can really rise kids from lower to mid income families into higher society with more power, even with the education they are offering, better choose some kids who are already in that society”.

Stop Asians are minority too. Reality is they should remove all race related aspects and the best applicants get in.

Wait... you mean a college should operate on diversity of thought and not diversity of skin color??

White privilege? When 30% of white people get admitted to elite colleges with poor grades and SAT (some worst than the Blacks and Latinos on Affirmative Action) because of their parents money and/or connections but don’t get lawsuits brought against themhttps://www.amazon.com/Price-Admission-Americas-Colleges-Outside/dp/1400097975 …

what about asians. we are the ones most discriminated against. why? because we study and have better grades? come with some other excuse other than white racism . reverse racism is just as bad.
-
I think you are missing the point. On average Ivy League campuses are 55% white. Of those 55%, according to the book he posted on average 30% of those white students had bad grades and SAT scores but got in because of connections. So it’s white people taking spots from Asians.
-
Then explain why this doesn’t happen in colleges where there is no affirmative action. Example Stanford. Your theory falls flat
-
Actually it doesn’t, the state of California doesn’t allow affirmative action but it does allow white students who have poor grades and SAT scores to pay their way in or if their parents are connected that can get them in also Read a book for oncehttps://blog.prepscholar.com/how-much-do-college-donations-help-college-applications …
