[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From WAPO: “The Class of 2026 at TJ, as the school is known, will include 550 students accepted from a pool of 2,544 applicants. Of the offers sent to eighth-graders, about 60 percent went to Asian students, 21 percent to White students, 8 percent to Hispanic students and 6 percent to Black students.”[/quote]

Those poor Asians. Beaten down by the system such that they actually had a higher percentage of admitted students than they had applicants. Must be racism at work.[/quote]

I am not Asian, but I am not about to deny that it is very obvious that Asians are discriminated against in academic admission decisions.  I hear the reasons why (apparently we do not want Harvard, etc. to be 99% Asian) and maybe they are good reasons (diverse student body), but let's just admit we discriminate against Asians.   [/quote]

Perhaps but definitely not the case here. That would be completely ridiculous given thel facts.  Asians are better represented than any other group in the county and selection is race blind.[/quote]
