Americans are treated very well in Asians countries.

I’m a white American and experienced overt racism in Asia.

White Americans are usually treated very well in Asian countries.
Maybe you didn't respect the local culture or something.

Asian countries like Korea/Japan/China tend to discriminate South East Asians.

Is it “respecting the local culture” to whine when not accepted to colleges?

We should all respect the decision by the US Supreme Court at least if you are a citizen of the US.

DP. Regardless of the decision, I will never respect this bootleg, compromised, lying, corrupt, perjured-filled Roberts’ court. I pray I live long enough to see a SCOTUS that can be respected again. It’s not this court.

Some people here say that if you don't like the system here, leave?

Well unlike most people here, my family has roots in this country since the revolutionary war and ancestors who died in every war including Vietnam, and served in every war up to desert storm. Therefore I would tell those people to Fucck off.

Your ancestors stole the land from the American Indians.

My ancestors are a mixture of American Indians, African slaves and white slave-owners. What’s your point?

ok you are welcome to stay, but you should obey the laws of the US (i.e. decisions by the US Supreme Court)

that's it.

I’m sorry but I don’t think you fully understand how the system works in this country. Just because the Supreme Court stops affirmative action, it doesn’t mean the universities won’t find other ways to fulfill their admissions goals.

They better not get caught with racial discrimination.
Consequences will be huge.
Progress is gradual.

Are you an Asian chat bot? Serious question because your broken English short responses are almost a caricature of how an Asian would write.

The Supreme Court doesn’t make any laws…they interpret laws passed by Congress. The Supreme Court won’t make affirmative action illegal but simply tell the colleges that they can’t explicitly use race to satisfy their objectives (to the extent that they take a hardline interpretation).

There is magical thinking that anything the Supreme Court decides will drastically change Elite college admissions. It won’t.

The interviewers actually gave higher points to Asians students.
It was suddenly flipped big at the admissions committee.

We all know interviews are nearly irrelevant. Why do we expect the interview score to correlate with any other scoring? The AO says ‘unlikeable’ it’s based on essay or LOR and things the interviewer didn’t access. DP

And teachers and counselors can be biased against Asian Am. students, just like AO.

It's like heresay or gossip. They are categorizing these students as "likeable" based on someone else's feedback, which again, can be biased.

If you left a job where your immediate team members hated you for whatever reason, and your future employer sought feedback from your previous teammates, they would probably mark you as "not likeable". I'm sure that would not make you happy.

that's because you live in a bubble.

And irrespective of how "your neighbors" fair, discrimination based on race is illegal.

American students who work hard and get high marks in Asian schools will do well. But that doesn't matter because we are talking about the US and US discrimination laws.

Yet throughout life, each new person who has to take a chance on you would rather have recommendation from a previous authority, than trust a single assessment, or your behavior in one interview. Sure, these whisper networks can be corrupt, but they can't be avoided so act accordingly.

It can also be abused and used in a way to discriminate. See how Harvard treated Jews in the 1920s.

The wealthy students are spread across more schools, iykyk is the bigger flex.

Most astute observers believe that the SC decision will not ultimately change college admissions much. If the schools overtly disengage from racial proxies, studies show that blacks and Hispanics will lose out to whites and Asians. But, schools are likely to develop more ambiguous criteria that allow them to maintain the status quo or whatever profile they choose.

You are getting delusional out of anger.
Nobody said The Supreme Court makes laws.
However I understand your anger.
Nobody should tell any US citizen to leave just because they don't agree with some parts of systems in the US.

The Supreme Court will say no more racial discrimination in college admissions.
We'll see how things progress and evolve.

Impressive. Or do you mean 96% white, 2% Native American and 2% Black?

That’s your DNA, not mine. Stop projecting.
