Curious why this is a worry. Because your assumption that these institutions should belong to white hands? That's the crux of all this. Someone is taking something from White kids. I would love 10 years of Asian only admits to see how that shakes out in society - for so many reasons!

Well, yes, since the vast majority of Asians have only lived in this country for the last couple of decades. Out-reproducing the United States and then moving here for our excellent education, doesn't entitle you to all of the spots at top schools. So yes, those spots do belong in the hands of people who have funded them for generations.

But outgunning and stealing all the land from the natives entitles you to all the land? Doesn't the land belong "in the hands of people who have lived there for generations"? When are you returning it?

Stop. Lots of us didn't "steal" anything. My family came from Europe and So. America long after anything was stolen from anyone. The plight of Native Americans is real and up for discussion how to make it right. This is an absurd non-sequitur from that.

Not sure if you are the PP I responded to.. If not, go read it to understand why my response is relevant. if you are that poster, please brush up on comprehension skills.

I'm not but you also selectively quoted my post. Further, I doubt your response is any less smug or rude than this one. If you can't make your point without ad hominem attacks, just don't make it. Because it's not much of a point at all.

The original PP is correct. When will the stolen land be returned?

Then I realized I am too much of a polite Asian-American. I need to conquer and rule this land because most people are stupid here. It is like snatching candy from an obese baby!![/quote

Wow, for someone crying about discrimination, your hatred and disdain for white people who live in the US is palpable. I hope that you are not raising children with those attitudes. Worry about that instead of where their college ranks on USNWR.

Better to raise them as white kids? Telling them they’re a victim all the time when they’re the most privileged cohort in society?

To reiterate: this is what happens when you have "holistic" admissions with racial diversity thrown in. It is what it is.

Deuteronomy 28:43,

"The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail."

Deuteronomy (I assume that's a person) sounds like Trump!

Trump would say,
