[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you only have 1500-1700 kids per class like most small elite universities, you want to have an interesting mix. You don't want everyone to be a CS nerd, pre-med, or future consultant.

That's what they say, but the reality is that it means "we want more blacks, we don't want too many Asians". That is the working definition of "interesting".[/quote]

Tons and tons of interesting Asians. They just have more interesting hobbies and academic interests than you and your kid. 
And none of them are stem majors.[/quote]

This is not about what I think. This is about what elite college admissions committees clearly think, as demonstrated by their actions. They simply don’t want “too many” Asians. Boring![/quote]

Asians are massively over represented at good universities [/quote]

Yet somehow underrepresented in corporate America, presidents of universities, superintendents of public school districts, governors, mayors, judges, partners at law firms....

You'd think that such an overrepresented group would have succeeded elsewhere in society. Here's a question for you: how many AA not in the entertainment and sports industries can you name?[/quote]
