Yes, they are smart and hard working. |

Actually, in the colleges I've toured, Indians seem to outnumber East Asians. All the same, though. |

No one should be surprised by these numbers. It is what anyone who has taken an economics class would have expected.
Universities are saving money by offering less need based financial aid with no strings attached since they don’t have to hit any perceived URM targets. Look where the numbers went down and replaced by high stat full pay Asians. Exactly who didn’t see this coming. |

What I heard was that, in the beginning of a semester, if white students walk into a class and sees more than about 15-20% Asian students, they consider dropping the class since they think earning an A or A- in the class would be very difficult. The above was usually for STEM classes but I heard that it happens for almost all academic classes including classes such as English, foreign language, humanities courses as well. If these kids want to avoid hard work in college, they will likely avoid hard work in jobs (difficulties in life) as well. Don't fear competition or hard work, embrace competition and learn perseverance and tenacity. |

I am an Asian American and I have attended elementary, middle and high school with fewer than 5% Asians. College, graduate school and law school were all fewer than 5% Asians. My place of employment all my life had fewer than 5% Asians. My neighborhoods all had fewer than 5% Asians. Not because I intentionally chose such environment but that was how demographics were. I know of many Asians who had to face this challenge all their lives as well. I never complained about having too few Asians and other Asians I know do not complain. What is the difference between Asians attending schools with fewer than 5% Asians and blacks attending schools with fewer than 5% blacks? Blacks can complain and whites pretend they care and Asians should not even dare complain since media will completely ignore any complaints by Asians. |

+1 the % of Koreans and Japanese as a whole in this country (and globally) is tiny compared to Chinese and Indians. |

+1 I used to work with a white dad of a teen who lived in an expensive town. He told me that when Asian American kids started to increase in the school, the curve went waaay up. FWIW, I'm Asian American, and my parents are immigrants who don't speak any English. |

| The sad reality is that people tend to flee when classes become overwhelmingly asian. While it's not a happy statistic, the reality is whiteness still confers a huge level of "prestige" and wherever white people go, the "elite" status will follow. Ivies that allow their population to become overwhelmingly asian will find both white and black people less interested in attending. There are many incredibly difficult and rigorous schools in East Asia that blow many western schools out of the water, but you still have people flocking en masse to the western schools that were predominantly white for the majority of their existence. Who knows why, but it does seem that whiteness itself does confer some kind of desirability and, again, prestige, on its own. So if white kids get turned off by a predominantly asian population taking all the spots in Harvard, and say, flock to Clemson or College of Charleston or whatever, you can bet those schools will become the next schools with cache. It truly is a never ending cycle. |

As the parent of three white kids, two of whom are at top-10 ivy/ivy+, the other likely will be next fall, this has got to be either urban legend or less rigorous/below T50 colleges. There are tons of asians as well as lots of other backgrounds at t10s and the kids take the classes they need and do not drop when they see asians good grief. Premed and Engineering classes have the highest % asians, often over 50%, and guess what white kids can and do beat the means all the time (ie A range). And mine know many asians who have dropped premed. It is hard for anyone to be in the top half in a competitive group. Racism is not a part of the decision making. |

I hope an Asian takes your job. People like you don't deserve to live in a country as great as the United States. |

LOL no. There are tons of schools with 80% 90% Whites that nobody cares with 80% 90% acceptance rates. You sound stupid 🤣 |
