Um. No. See? That's the problem. BERKELEY is stating "too many Asians". In what world is it OK to state that out loud - and have a bunch of idiots nod their heads in agreement?
There is an interesting case in the book Gatekeepers, about a Hispanic Admissions counselor uprating a girl who got poor grades and 550s on her math and english SATs. He admitted that wouldn't happen if she was Asian or White, and furthermore denied a much stronger Asian candidate, saying "he hoped that would not be reviewed'. In addition, he rated her highly for her Hispanic background because they needed Hispanics.
This was back in 2004. We have now upgraded to
"We have too many Asians" being said out loud, and progressives wholeheartedly agreeing.
