Should schools be admitting students because their parents forced them into a cram school? |
People can chant "Asians ONLY have high GPA and SAT scores", "They are robots only good at taking tests" etc. until the cows come home but that doesn't make the statement true or less racist. Learn something from the racist attitudes arising from UVA/Charlottesville. |
Honestly, this. What will happen is that these schools will begin looking for traits that are not academic to get more white people on campus. Look, I worked in biglaw and saw it as clearly as day. All of sudden no one cares about grades or writing ability when it comes to Asian attorneys. They get branded as too meek and lacking in "leadership" skills. Hence unqualified compared to white (mostly male) attorneys. Black and Latinos get labeled unqualified academically. You can't win at this and the whole exercise is just another chance to engineer the deck in favor of people it's always been. |
How many rich white parents on this forum alone seek to hire counselors to help their kids with their applications? How many hire private tutors? You really think only Asian American students prep? And this is not about international students. Affirmative action only applies to US residents. Please learn the difference. |
I'm not say "Asians ONLY have blah blah blah". I'm saying that schools aren't impressed with a high SAT score because it can be bought and/or beaten into kids. When a high SAT score is no longer a discriminator, Asians lose. |
Not only do white parents hire private tutors and admissions counselors, psychologists, and have no problem with prescription medications (supposedly for ADHD but really to "force" kids to stay up and study) etc. etc., they also use any and all connections to "game" the admissions process. Let's subpoena emails and phone records of upper class white parents to see how much tutoring, counseling, medicating and "use of connections' goes on as well. |
No, schools should be admitting g students without discriminating on the basis of race which is illegal! |

No need for Asiana to "grind away" and I am certain they would love to become slackers just like white, black and other races if they didn't face discrimination in the first place. As for the "soulless" comment, you should join your sisters/brothers in Charlottesville. You will fit right in with your racist attitude. |
Wait, are you supporting the prior posters' bigotry? Did you support Jewish quotas? |
I lecture on the side and 99% of my cheaters are international students. It's all swept under the rug. |

Soulless means no or little English, obviously not in any clubs, no school spirit, toiling around in Euro saloons and German sports cars all day while smoking cigarettes, test banks to cheat. Why would any elite liberal arts college want thousands of soulless nerds on campus? They add nothing, unless you're hard up for out of state tuition revenue, see: Big Ten, Cal, UCLA. Elite liberal arts colleges want smart AND gregarious leaders. |
You are a racist for stereotyping Asian American students as "soulless" robots. You would not stereotype black students as stupid or Hispanic students as lazy because that would not be politically correct. The reason you feel relatively safe to be able to spout whatever vile,racist stereotypes against Asians IS THE REASON we have an institutionalized racial discrimination against Asian American students in college admissions. Leave international students out of the discussion since that is a separate issue not relevant to discrimination against Asian Americans. |
