You’re citing a blog entry by an IT professional? That’s common knowledge? |
OMG. Did you even go to high school? |
What does that even mean? Did I learn to distinguish between credible sources and crackpots on the Internet? Should I be asking the guy who comes to fix my printer tmmw the founding story for Microsoft? |
|
The story is the first MS product Gates sold was not his, that he’s not the genius people think he is. He’s a marketing genius in taking someone else’s intellectual work and making it his own. You need to be more critical in your readings. Same thing with Harvard. |
Talk about completely missing the point. But I’ll take it from you, random anonymous poster. You are the definition of a reliable source. |
| Z is a rich loser and Gates is a rich nerd. Both stole their money. Steve Jobs was a smelly rich asshole |
Oh, please. |
For Steve Jobs, just ask his daughter. When Jobs was already a gazillionaire, he disowned her to avoid paying child support. The little one and her mom had to go on welfare to eat. |
| The last few pages show how far gone from reality the anti Harvard/anti affirmative action posters‘ thinking has gone. These people are so warped in the perspective that they get all their information from IT blogs and actually think Harvard has stolen the founding of Facebook story from Exeter. This line of thought is so crazy I am left speechless. Harvard the institution does not care about Facebook and has an abundance of alums/attendees that bring the school fame!! These people just don’t understand the culture, the mission or the purpose. |
If you are truly speechless, you ought to just pass over in silence. |

In the case of Asians vs Rich White legacy folks they both cheat to get in.
High ACT/SAT scores can be manipulated as well as GPA. Which Asians are often experts at. Blacks, Spanish and non connected whites lose spots to the well off whites and Asians. ACT is a joke, anyone who takes it 3-6 times and pay for expensive tutors can get a 34-36. AP classes are a joke as teachers fear giving less than an A and with tutors anyone can shine. Volunteer work is a joke as poor cant afford to do it. Try going to a crappy HS with no AP and parents on welfare. Would love to see average score of so called Tiger Moms kids if they had to do it in that environment. |
Tiger moms do everything to improve themselves to get off welfare. Would love to see people working for a living. |
It’s pretty disturbing when welfare parents start demanding to be placed in the front of the line on account of their welfare. |
I disagree intensely with the white supremacist anti-affirmative action posters and feel pity for the Asian-Americans who think the Nazis are their friends. But, it's pretty stupid to say that all Asians are rich or cheat. At the majority Asian-American specialized high schools that send a lot of students to elite schools like Harvard (e.g. Lowell in San Francisco or Stuyvesant in NYC), most of the Asian-American students are poor enough to qualify for free/reduced lunch. Some of the top students in DC public schools are Asian-Americans who live in Chinatown's Mansion Square (4th and K NW), which is a project-based Section 8 building. |
