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

It’s the unfortunate reality. It’s the historical “whiteness” of these institutions that make them so desirable. There are so many incredible institutions in east Asia and no one cares or wants to go to them

At first I was upset that she’d throw away any shot with her great stats, but I now worry deeply about the discrimination she will experience in these environments where black students are a growing rarity. Spelman is her next stop.

Probably a good call. Our child is a sophomore at a lac and the students are completely turned off by the upcoming class, because they’re so Asian compared to previous classes.

DC just finished orientation and found a handful of black students. Let’s just say she’s clawing to hit the transfer button. It’s great that some students will have more options to be with their community, but this is not the environment for her

Won’t that just make it worse for the other black students? What’s the obsession with being with people for a skin tone

Said the person who never faced discrimination.

LMFAO. no. smart white kids are not scared by asians. the ivies and other top-15 universities will remain the schools with all the cache because those schools have the highest percent of smart kids. the smartest kids want to study with other brilliant kids, regardless of race, and many of them prefer racial diversity and enjoy meeting similar students from all over the world. A high percent of internationalism is something unique to the ivy/+ branding of said schools: they draw brilliance from everywhere. The cache is not going to magically move to schools that do not have top global reputations, which globally is based on Nobel-level faculty or grads, research, and smarts of the students. None of the weird BS equity markers the USNews ranking over-elevated last fall.

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.

How is this useful? Why play the who handles discrimination better game?

Play less basketball/football and study more maybe?

Can you stop talking out of your a$$? I know, as a black person, you worship whites. But all you have written there is not factual.

Globalism is a kind of diversity, and elite schools will always have it. But what about everyone else? Look, a huge number of kids in this country are still growing up in places and going to schools where everyone is just like them: same race, same religion, same economic level. For many people, college is supposed to expose them not just to more book learning and better educators, but also to a wider world of people who will bring a different life experience and perspective to the table to enhance the book learning. We learn much more from each other than data. Not everyone cares about that I guess, but for those who do, it will become increasingly difficult to find it at a place they can afford and gain admission.

The UCs banning affirmative action 30 years ago and turning plurality-Asian haven't stopped them from being attractive to white applicants. Why are posters here just making up BS?

Those schools are incrediblly hard to get in with extremely low acceptance rates.
Now you sound really stupid 🤣

If you can't spell "cachet" maybe you don't know much about it.

NP but why is it when someone on here can’t address the issue they seize upon on typo out of a very long post as some kind of checkmate? Just seems so desperately disingenuous

So are plenty of schools in east Asia and other other places, but it’s always the historically white institutions that get the halo effect and people fighting tooth and nail to get into them. Sadly people aren’t interested in getting into the top Korean schools, for example, despite them being highly competitive and selective. The prestige and excitement that whiteness confers is extremely predictable and consistent

You don’t think the lack of foreigners flocking to Korean schools has anything to do with the lack of Korean speakers outside of Korea? Nope, must be racism
