Because the goal is to enter elite predominantly white institutions and share in the elitism, to make a joint, equal, intermarrying Asian-White elite class, but that can't happen if the whites flee.

Really? Is NBA not elite enough for you?
Who cares if there is white black or Asian flee? You think too much of yourself 😆

Why is the nba always brought up? College admissions is far from meritocratic, and if it was, we’d just send each student an IQ packet with their application and call it there.

The point was, did you see the NBA become more or less elite after the white exit?

The NBA is brought up as an example of a situation in which people hire black people at a % far beyond their % in the general population, & happily pay them well based on their excellence. And by extension, the same thing could happen in accounting or law or medicine. Blacks lag behind in those fields, but it’s within their power to study hard and dominate in fields other than basketball.

Also for the music and entertainment fields. Nobody complains.

What's the whining and complaining about Asians dominant in certain areas?

If your DC got great stats and is competitive, why not apply and have options?

It’s really her decision. She grew up in majority white and Asian environments and is becoming exasperated from the constant “proving” she has to do. I think she just wants a break and time in community, and I won’t take that from her just because I want something different for her future

You’re going to let your child go to a failing school, because her feelings are ill get hurt if there’s more than 3 or so Asian students in the room? How incredibly racist and backwards

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.

So true, especially at top 25 schools.

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.

Society shall be judged by how it treats its weakest group (Asians in this case) - so far, US gets an F grade. Do better.

NBA viewership was highest in the late 90s.

I'm not sure what viewership is about, but most qualified kids go to the basketball and football teams in colleges and eventually get into NBA, NFL.

Same thing should be happening that most academically qualified kids should go to the top schools, and become engineers, doctors, scientists, etc.

My son just finished his freshman year at Howard and had a spectacular experience! I'm a Morehouse alum myself. If HBCUs end up being the lucky recipient of many top tier Black students who have fled top20 schools for HBCUs, so be it.

More seats for Asians, so be it.

You're in agreeance with the other commenter. I think this may just be a positive in that Black students will leave these unsupportive environments and asian students will become the majority. White students will respond accordingly.

Agreeance? Can yourself not?

Stop discriminating against Asian Americans. Compete fair and square.

What unsupportive environments??
Looks like it's a choice based on personal taste.

Kamala Harris went to Howard. She is doing just fine.

Failed her Bar Exam twice.

and yet, here she is running for POTUS (and may win).

Yale admitted GWB; UPenn admitted the Trumps.

Only because she pretends to be Black when convenient.

Pretends? She has a black parent.

Lots of students just want to be where the talent and the opportunities are. MIT, Rice, Berkeley, Stanford, CMU, and Georgia Tech already don't look like America. There are only two kinds of whites that would refuse to go there - the rednecks and the precious country club SLAC people. And they're probably not getting in anyway. But outside of those two groups, no white kid is turning down MIT or Stanford because there are too many Asians.

Yes, but just as NBA viewership stagnated after around 98, so too may the prestige of elite schools stagnate as they become increasingly one-note.

The percent of blacks at a school is a big problem for dating.

Blacks in America tend to date and marry other blacks at a higher percentage than other racial groups. It’s a personal preference that everyone should enjoy.

Also, many more black women attend college. So it’s already a gender imbalance for black college attendees. It can be very discouraging dating scene for black women.
