But I will add another personal thought: I supported all four of my children in whatever school they wanted to attend. But if I had children applying today, I would urge them to go for the honors program in a good state university & stay away from the elite schools. As a Dad.

I am convinced that education at almost all of the elite schools is seriously broken, and that my kids would genuinely get more of what they need from college at a good state school far from the Northeast or West Coast.

It takes the opposite of genius to try to frame legacy access as some saving grace. You describe your racist ideology as scientific thinking. You're a hoax, yet trying to be the critic of actual scholars.

It sucks growing up half of anything. We are just now realizing the serious negative impacts of biraciality.
-
Hah! The impact of being biracial on my five half-Korean kids has been trivial, even going to a fundamentalist little Christian school with typical Hoosiers (not university types like me).

Go away Boomer. Your parents generation fought on the wrong side of the war so their kids would destroy their racial qualities and pretend race doesn't exist while their children feel isolated in a society.

Stats from OK-Cupid show that> apparently Asian girls are not discriminated against & don't face affirmative action bias in the dating scene.

What's your opinion on legacy admissions?
-
Wouldn't eliminating the legacy preferences dramatically increase diversity?
-
Regardless of their impact on diversity, legacy preferences (like all non-merit-based preferences in college admissions) are immoral and indefensible.

Do South Asians (e.g. Indians) get discriminated against by these schools? Are my half-Indian kids better off keeping quiet?
