Because top universities discriminate against Asians. |

Which ones? All the ones I know have a high number of Asians when compared to the population of Asians. |

This is irrefutably true. Every top university in America has Asians overrepresented by a significant margin. The statement that top universities discriminate against Asians betrays a mindset that Asians are the only meritorious population deserving of spaces in these universities and that the existence of other populations is evidence of malfeasance. You can refer to this mindset as "Asian supremacy". |

Are you comparing these students to thieves who steal other people's opportunities? |

They just weed out cheaters who happen to be Asians. |

DP. Need to clarify something here. Reasonable pro-reform posters here do not believe that Asians are cheaters. Many of us actually have significant sympathy for the fact that the rules of the game (which we strongly believe to be flawed) existed a certain way for dozens of years and that motivated families built their child-rearing strategies around those rules, only to have the rules changed on them in recent years through no fault of their own. The existence of some pro-reform jackasses on this forum does not delegitimize the pro-reform effort, any more than the existence of blowhards like Jackson, Dutta, Nomani and Davison should tarnish the image of hardworking families who feel like they've been shortchanged. |

I'll spare you the wait - yes, that's exactly what they're doing. |

I think that presented in the fairest light, they would have been comparing the school board members to thieves, not the other students. In that analogy, the school board members would have then pawned off the stolen opportunities in exchange for election capital and other business opportunities. The lie about super-wealthy overprivileged Asians is meant to lend a noble Robin Hoodesque air to their deeds, which will be helpful when they eventually decide to leverage their business model into a protection racket. |

I won't use the word "liberal" because I think that people who exploit politics like this honestly don't care which party they're taking advantage of at the moment - plenty of good people identify as liberals. But yeah, huge double standards, I've seen it happen to me too. The same "You're with us or against us" tactic that Dubya used to collect undue authority has become a left-wing "You're with us or you're RACIST" tactic. People use it to get undue credit for knowing what they're talking about and shaping popular opinion. People assume that if the enemy is "racism," there's no harm done and no bias invoked, but it still plays into people's biases. It's most likely to affect individuals who come from places stereotyped for human rights abuse (think China, Russia, or Arab nations). That which students will ultimately be harmed by rampant unchecked bigoteering. |

| Let’s do the same with sports. Get the Asians on football and basketball. Let’s be fair. |

That would not be a problem. It's only an issue if you are doing better than whites. That is why we have admission reform at the Ivies and at TJ. |

Unbelievable. I thought Elizabeth Warren was an outlier. |

| White people today are the same group of thieves who robbed and stole this land from Indians. Today, they continue ribbing and stealing other people’s work by lying and oppressing them. Have you encountered a white coworker claiming credit using your hard work? Yep, their grandfathers are those same thieves who murdered Indians. They’re are not more civilized today just better disguised. |
