Asians complain about model minority and them totally believe in it when convenient.

Those darn Asians, believing in transparent policies with fair standards for all

Why can’t they accept that maybe they aren’t the best applicants…

I dunno, something about being the best students all throughout school kinda makes that difficult

Thinking you are something isn’t the same thing as being that something.

The only one who decides what makes the best applicants for a particular college is that college. They aren’t all looking for the same thing. And they certainly don’t want 2000 carbon copies of the same thing.

You have a weird mindset.
Every individual is unique.

Yes. And race is one aspect of an individual. And it can be considered wrt to that individual.

Not in college admissions it cannot.

“Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise”

But you cannot consider the race itself.

Right. They can take race into consideration as part of the individual’s experience.

I know you have trouble comprehending this, but actually we are not all the same

+1 There is so much Asian bashing on this forum. I hope it's just a few ignorant losers, but I suspect it's more than that.

Some Blacks are bitter because they see immigrant group after immigrant group leapfrog their community to prosperity and now they are losing racial preferences too.

Some Whites are bitter because they're losing their privilege with access to exclusive places and high paying jobs and now people cross the street when they see a bunch of young white men hanging out on the sidewalk.

Hispanics are just angling for the fastest climb up that ladder, they know they are going to get there but they'd like to see it for their children rather than their grandchildren or great grand children. They are on a typical generational immigrant pathway to the american dream.

Asians are just tired of being used as the pressure valve for the costs of progressive social policies to remedy injustices they had no hand in creating

This forum lets you say what ever about black people and nothing at all about Asian people…

Say what you want as long as it's true.

We still think there’s something wrong with the kids rather than recognizing their something wrong with the tests,"

"Standardized tests have become the most effective racist weapon ever devised to objectively degrade Black and Brown minds and legally exclude their bodies from prestigious schools."

There's nothing wrong with the tests.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Study harder.
Earn it.
Don't rely on the guilt and pity of white people to get you something you didn't earn.

The data says differently, but of course you are entitled to your opinion.

No, it doesn't.

The data says that the tests are excellent measures of not only college performance but all sorts of outcomes.
The research on this is so well accepted that it is at least as well established as global warming.

Anyone telling you different is trying to push an agenda.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv_Cr1a6rj4

Data also shows that the test are biased. That is one of the reasons colleges don't want only high GPA, high SAT kids. Some have figured out how to follow the law and maintain diversity. It won't take long for the others to get back to the class they want.

No, tests are not biased. There are entire disciplines dedicated to this topic and the research is clear, the tests are not racially or culturally biased.
Certainly the math sections is not and that is the place where you see the greatest achievement gap.
Why do black immigrants do so well on these tests but you do not?

For a brief moment, colleges thought that the answer to diversity was eliminating testing and yet in this post SFFA world, more and more selective colleges (the only places where racial preferences are really necessary) are returning to test required.

When black immigration rises, we will see the more and more black faces on these campuses and you can either catch up or fall behind but pity and guilt won't get you there anymore.

Sorry if this reality hurts your feelings.

Racism bothers me. Why doesn't it bother you?

Please check your agenda. The low quality Ted talk from 10 years ago is not very convincing. There is more current data that indicates standardized testing is flawed.

No there's no data to support your statement. If there were, you would have linked it by now.

Here is some recent research from Harvard, Brown and MIT:

https://opportunityinsights.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/SAT_ACT_on_Grades.pdf

Study harder, stop begging white people to take stuff from deserving asians and give it to you out of guilt and pity.

Why do black immigrants seem to get good test scores but you do not?

You don’t think you are racist that you keep responding to 99% probability white posters by constantly calling the posters black?

You are the poster child for racism all throughout this thread.

Well, that's the thing, they think all asians are the same.

Fungible humans.

The vast majority of kids coming out of affluent, suburban HSs - regardless of race - are fungible.

Colleges don’t want to fill their classes with thousands of kids with the same experiences.

That's so not true and again racist. The vast majority of Asian students are first or second gen who also live in a hostile anti-Asian environment thanks to people like you. Even the third gen have grandparents that are immigrants. Surely these kids all don't share the same experience as wonder bread kids since most Asian countries and cultures developed from 1000s of years ago (i.e., older than Europe) and not premanufactured. Asians have this dual advantage that white people don't consider when they're arguing for the one-dimensionality of Asians, who they also seem to think are just like them when convenient.

Yes. And race is one aspect of an individual. And it can be considered wrt to that individual.

“Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise”

Asians probably got most affected by their race with all sorts of barriers, obstacles, and discrimination.

Maybe they should write about it in their essay.

Asian culture is not to make excuses and blame others, but they'll probably start doing that adopting to the American culture.

Well American universities reflect American culture and values. If AAPI kids in the US would prefer an Asian cultural experience in college they are welcome to apply to universities in Asia which will not care at all about their experiences with racism or how coaching Little League taught them empathy or whatever.

I wonder why more students don't just do this if they prefer a purely objective application process.

Because Asians in America are American you fkin moron. Most likely speak English better than you and most definitely do schooling better than you (and most don't speak a foreign language to any proficiency to go to school in a foreign country). Fkin racist. Culture is not nationality and Asian Americans do not hold allegiance to foreign states.

PP be sure to tell the other POC where to go back to school to enjoy their "culture." Like the country of "Central America," the country of the "Middle East," and the country of "Africa," right???

Asian American students are doing just fine. In California. The full pay Asian foreigners are the ones going to the Ivies and such. That's why they loooooove the standardized tests: it's part of the country wide testing culture.

Stop being racist. Asian Americans in California are not doing fine. By whose metric? Some are going to highly selective schools. There are a large number of Asian Americans in California being denied access to T10 and T20 universities because their test scores are somehow not good enough, yet much higher than other kids who got in through "holistic" measures.

There are also a lot of not-Asian kids being denied access to T10 and T20 universities because their very high test scores are not what those universities want.

Not nearly in the same number of kids at all: Look at the percentiles of kids scoring 99% for each group and what score that aligns to. And if you're white, you don't have to pass a litmus test.

When you call everyone racist it starts to lose its meaning.

The vast majority of the kids in our affluent, suburban HSs really aren’t that unique. There are only so many classes, activities, sports, etc.

Again are fine with holistic admissions and American culture.
That's why they excel in leadership, ECs, interviews, etc.
Just that they'll start writing more about "how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise" in essays as they have plenty of stuff to write about in that department.

Then what is the problem?

Racial discrimination.

Which there is no evidence of.

Most kids that are native Americans regardless of race are similar on economic lines.

You don’t see many Asians at Sidwell following all these arguments because they probably have a legacy parent or they play a sport that they will use to get recruited in addition to great stats.

They love the game as it currently stands.

Hispanics are just angling for the fastest climb up that ladder, they know they are going to get there but they'd like to see it for their children rather than their grandchildren or great grand children. They are on a typical generational immigrant pathway to the american dream.

Asians are just tired of being used as the pressure valve for the costs of progressive social policies to remedy injustices they had no hand in creating

Please check your agenda. The low quality Ted talk from 10 years ago is not very convincing. There is more current data that indicates standardized testing is flawed.

Hm.. then why are universities like MIT, Stanford reinstituting test required? Do they not "read the data"?

It’s a data point.

It’s just not the only one.

It's based on research

Academic performance itself is just one data point.

Hispanics are just angling for the fastest climb up that ladder, they know they are going to get there but they'd like to see it for their children rather than their grandchildren or great grand children. They are on a typical generational immigrant pathway to the american dream.

Asians are just tired of being used as the pressure valve for the costs of progressive social policies to remedy injustices they had no hand in creating

This forum lets you say what ever about black people and nothing at all about Asian people…

Say what you want as long as it's true.

We still think there’s something wrong with the kids rather than recognizing their something wrong with the tests,"

"Standardized tests have become the most effective racist weapon ever devised to objectively degrade Black and Brown minds and legally exclude their bodies from prestigious schools."

There's nothing wrong with the tests.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Study harder.
Earn it.
Don't rely on the guilt and pity of white people to get you something you didn't earn.

The data says differently, but of course you are entitled to your opinion.

No, it doesn't.

The data says that the tests are excellent measures of not only college performance but all sorts of outcomes.
The research on this is so well accepted that it is at least as well established as global warming.

Anyone telling you different is trying to push an agenda.

Data also shows that the test are biased. That is one of the reasons colleges don't want only high GPA, high SAT kids. Some have figured out how to follow the law and maintain diversity. It won't take long for the others to get back to the class they want. Sorry if this reality hurts your feelings.

Please check your agenda. The low quality Ted talk from 10 years ago is not very convincing. There is more current data that indicates standardized testing is flawed.

Hm.. then why are universities like MIT, Stanford reinstituting test required? Do they not "read the data"?

It’s a data point.

It’s just not the only one.

It's based on research

Academic performance itself is just one data point.

It’s not the only one.

You didn't read the paper, did you.

Finding #3: Students from different socioeconomic backgrounds who have comparable
SAT/ACT scores receive similar grades in college

It's a very important data point.

Asians complain about model minority and them totally believe in it when convenient.

Those darn Asians, believing in transparent policies with fair standards for all

Why can’t they accept that maybe they aren’t the best applicants…

I dunno, something about being the best students all throughout school kinda makes that difficult

Thinking you are something isn’t the same thing as being that something.

The only one who decides what makes the best applicants for a particular college is that college. They aren’t all looking for the same thing. And they certainly don’t want 2000 carbon copies of the same thing.

You have a weird mindset.
Every individual is unique.

Well, that's the thing, they think all asians are the same.

Fungible humans.

The vast majority of kids coming out of affluent, suburban HSs - regardless of race - are fungible.

Colleges don’t want to fill their classes with thousands of kids with the same experiences.

That's so not true and again racist. The vast majority of Asian students are first or second gen who also live in a hostile anti-Asian environment thanks to people like you. Even the third gen have grandparents that are immigrants. Surely these kids all don't share the same experience as wonder bread kids since most Asian countries and cultures developed from 1000s of years ago (i.e., older than Europe) and not premanufactured. Asians have this dual advantage that white people don't consider when they're arguing for the one-dimensionality of Asians, who they also seem to think are just like them when convenient.

When you call everyone racist it starts to lose its meaning.

The vast majority of the kids in our affluent, suburban HSs really aren’t that unique. There are only so many classes, activities, sports, etc.

I'm only calling provincial people like you racist. You're dumb, too. People have a life outside of school. Yeah, really.

Now, I'll wait a few seconds for you to stretch your fingers so you can do some arithmetic. In fact nearly 2/3 of every day and all weekend might actually be out-of-school time. An Asian kid goes home to Asian parents who often have family rules defined by the Asian culture they grew up in (each culture from the continent of Asia is different) and they often eat Asian food. Not everyone is blessed enough to be able to get their cultural experiences from Panda Express and Taco Bell.

It's an important one but nowhere near dispositive.
