yeah it's easy to say "get over it" when you're taking advantage of other people or treating other people criminally.

Holy shit. We're talking about Harvard admissions here. It's not the end of the world if you don't get into Harvard. It's not like the police are unfairly arresting/shooting you for your race. So what if Asians have a slightly lower acceptance rate to Harvard than there would be if they didn't try to build a balance class?

You know that it's not just Harvard admissions. In this country, Asian Americans are discriminated in almost all the areas including elite college admission and corporate executive positions. To hide their crimes, they often label us as lack of leadership etc, which are evidenced as pure bullshit.
So it's not just Harvard admission. It's how we tell our kids that this country systematically discriminates them simply because of their race.

Thank you. Even if Harvard went race blind tomorrow (and btw, it's interesting how Asians never complained when the numbers were smaller and saying you were Asian actually gave one an edge in college applications ), it is still threading a very small needle to get into Harvard. The college could accept only Asians and there would still be plenty of Asians with perfect scores and 5.0 GPA's and leadership activities, sports etc. (i.e.. the formula people think works) and still not get in.

Harvard, a private college, should be able to accept the student body it desires. And people should realize that life does not begin and end with getting into one school. That's a loser mentality and it's hard to imagine why Harvard would want people of any race who have so little faith in themselves that their self-image is determined by where they are accepted to college.

Ah yes, the great "crime" of denying Asians corporate executive positions and elite college admissions. No entitlement there...

Not unless they stopped receiving federal funding, which they do.

So true. So many problems and suffering in this world. Who cares if you can't get into Harvard.

honest question - what do urm's that go to ivies go into mostly - fields that is.

It isn't cs/engineering in silicon valley/west coast and elite consulting (mckinsey, bain bcg) barely has any blacks or latinos. There's some in banking but very few. You see tons of jews, whites, and asians in IB and S&T.

Do URM's take advantage of the 'leg-up' they get from attending top private schools?

I'm going to guess politics/government is where many urm ivy grads go to, right?

What world problems did you solve then?
What problems can we expect you to solve if you don't even have a sense of justice?

I don't disagree that some discrimination exists, but I worked for a company that bent over backwards to hire Asians and Asian Americans, to the point where white males had very little chance of getting in the door. From my experience, leaders get promoted regardless of race -- and often because of it (i.e. filling a position with a minority) .

What's a little funny is Asians do get a leg up in law school admissions, where they are underrepresented.

Asians do not get a "leg up" in law school admissions. They are not considered underrepresented.

NP. Justice means caring about others, including URMs.

So did this complaint get filed with the same division of the Department of Education that supposedly is evaluating the complaint that there are too many Asians and not enough other minorities at TJ? Must be hard to keep all the complaints separate at this point.
