The Left's war against standardized testing, honors programs, academic excellence, school choice, and meritocracy is largely anti-Asian racism disguised as 'anti-racism'.https://twitter.com/ycinnewyork/status/1375423144421380098 …

I don't think it's a stretch to say that altering admissions standards in a way that optimally reduces the number of Asians admitted is anti-Asian racism. I don't think the left or universities dislike Asians, they dislike that Asians are overrepresented based on academic merit.
I could believe admissions officers actively discriminate against them.

Many Asian Americans think so. I've heard that some Asian Americans who have non-Asian last names are careful to give their children non-Asian first names so that their children might have the option of hiding their ethnicity when applying to colleges.

So it is with all "model minorities". East Asians almost always pick a familiar sounding Western name to give them better social chances. Jews changed their names for centuries (eg Harry Harlow was Harry Israel) to evade discrimination. This totally rational tactic is so maligned

There is overwhelming evidence that admissions officers and policies actively discriminate against Asian applicants. Everybody knows it. The Left supports it. The media ignores it.

ironically, the best term to describe this is structural racism. A favorite, if overused, term of progressive left. Admission policies are not actively targeting against asians, they are in some sense friendly fire, but the net result is strong structural bias against them.

Anecdotally, I can say that most Indian applicants to American business schools do believe there is a bias against them. Especially if they are male engineers. I wouldn't call it racism though, because in my mind I associate racism with far more intense bias.
