Start donating money to schools, then.

Another lame excuse to try to justify the discrimination against Asians.
Just google it, the recent major donations to Harvard and Yale are all from Chinese descendants. If I remembered correctly one of is the largest amount donation in school history.
Of course if this excuse fails people will move on to next one to justify their discrimination.

Study harder then.

Asians do study hard and have the highest academic performance of all the groups. You should say "study hard" to other groups who are apparently not studying hard and not performing as well as Asian Americans. The issue is Asian Americans are discriminated against in college admissions despite studying hard and excelling not just with GPA and SAT but ECs, volunteer activities, leadership positions, sport, music etc. Racial discrimination is morally wrong and unconstitutional.

Then tell that to the affirmative action lobby.

If the plaintiffs are US residents suing, I don't have a problem with it. If they're overseas Asians (many of whom come from well-connected families in China, Hong Kong, etc. are are trying to buy their way in or are submitting "composite" applications" on behalf of their DS or DD), I say, "enough!" Our universities already have tons of foreign students. Some foreign student representation is good, but it's gotten way out of kilter. U.S. taxpayer funding has built a lot of labs and programs on American college and university campuses, and these institutions have a responsibility to ensure that U.S. citizens get a reciprocally strong share of the student places. American taxpayers should not be spending money to educate the elite of China.

But international students pay full freight, so schools happily sell them the name brand product, take their money, and apply it to scholarships for underrepresented minorities. An odd business.

Practically the only place where bribery is allowed and encouraged.
