[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They aren’t less qualified. Everybody’s who is admitted is qualified. That’s a threshold — not a sliding scale. What people have to offer (experiences, talents, points of view, interests) varies. Why is that so hard to understand? [/quote] But then we circle back to the question- what is diversity? Does diversity just mean kids with different skin colors? Who’s experiences/perspective is more “diverse” in the context of highly selective schools: the black child of two lawyers living in an affluent coastal area making $300K, or the white child of a factory worker and a receptionist in Ohio? [/quote] You also can’t look at “Asians” as a monolith. Yes, East Asians and Indians have been quite successful in the US and are well-represented at top colleges. What about the tens of thousands of Hmong people (mainly in the Midwest) who came here as refugees in the 70s and 80s? Them, not so much. [/quote]
