[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience with competitive Asian parents and kids is that they’re just as “racist” and exclusionary as the whites and others they bash. Asians aren’t applauding the SC decision because they’re more morally upright, but because they see a competitive advantage. That’s fine, but let’s just be honest about motivations here.[/quote]
And if they think this ruling restores a "meritocracy" they will be sorely mistaken.   [/quote]

And it’s never been [b]a meritocracy defined by test scores.[/b] Harvard wants successful people. That typically includes smart people, but more typically smart people with other characteristics too. American colleges are about more than academics, so those who wish for a pure ranking of test scores and a cutoff will (hopefully) be eternally disappointed. [/quote]

This is what that odious little troll Stephen Miller is not arguing - that any consideration other than test scores is discriminatory (though he is curiously silent re legacy admits).

It's disheartening how many here appear to be lockstep with him.  [/quote]
