What an incredible fantasy. What a stretch! Well done. How, BTW, did they know the kids were white? I guess in their essays when they wrote about their background as 100% white kids?

You're a clown.

TBH, no one really wants kids who are just 1000% focused on academics without any sporting ability, club membership, leadership positions, creative hobbies. Asian students tend to hyperfocus on academics but it's not really what higher education is supposed to embody in the west

But then why do asians tend to have better extra-curriculars than whites?

In what way? Certainly not athletics.

Did you know that extra curriculars is not just athletics? Did you know that the Harvard lawsuit found that Asian Americans had better e.c than most of the students, including white students?

Did you know that Asians have ethnic last names that clearly indicate that they are not white?

My kids are biracial white/Asian and have a white last name.

Every other way.
Athletics are a different category because noone cares about athletics unless you are recruitable.

Being on the varsity squash team is no more impressive than any other club that takes a similar amount of time.
Unless you are recruitable (or at least a preferred walk -on) athletics don't matter

No, they’re hyper focusing on sports now. I see them screaming at their children when they lose. My son beat a 17 yo boy, who immediately burst into tears. His parents berated him on the side. It’s horrible. Worst parents ever!!

of course I know that, that's why I listed off a number of different hobbies. Historically asians have tended to hyper focus on academics or academically-adjacent hobbies. Being a member of the chess club, mathletes, or model UN doesnt really add too much to your profile when youre applying at these competitive places. Ideally they would want a candidate with straight As, who can also play football, who's also into rock climbing, who also loves to paint, who also plays in a rock band on the weekend, who's also well liked by peers, etc. And these schools can afford to be choosy and hold out for exactly what they want. Oh well.

Of course people care. Most schools would rather have the high school quarterback, tall and strapping and powerful, over the hunched over math nerd. Like it or not, success in life is also about social skills, youre ability to make an impression, etc. The last thing these schools want is more knock-kneed geeks who cant hold a conversation IRL and spend all day coding. The member of the rowing team or the star swimmer fits the profile much better

That's why you are seeing more Asian American kids in different sports. Look at the US olympic team. More Asian American olympians than ever before.

Most of the richest people in this country are the geeks who can code, and they could very well play football. Who still believes the knock kneed geek vs strapping football player stereotype? You’re a pathetic old fool.

Who told you that? Your mama?
Asians are exceptional in the art and music areas as revealed in the Harvard case as well as sports just not at handful of certain ones like American football or basketball.

Korea, Japan, China all ranked top 10 in the Paris Olympics.

No one cares, clearly. Yale is not just looking to turn their venerable institution into a feeder assembly line for tech dorks, no matter how much money they make. They want all rounders, who can impress executives at a swanky NYC party and stand up to bullies in the boardroom. They are not looking for mealy mouthed geeks who cant hold eye contact with a girl and only know how to do math. get over it.

Mostly in spots like gymnastics. Asians dont tend to dominate whatsoever in sports that the US favors. There's a reason there arent many Asians in the NFL, NBA, rugby, etc, and it's not because of discrimination.
