[quote=Anonymous]"Studies have shown that, today, being a white girl or an Asian of any color is actually a disadvantage, in the sense that you need SATs that are several 100 points higher than other applicants. " For Asians it is worse than for whites and that was the focus of the NY Times article this weekend - the pressure in NY to junk the test for competitive HSs since "too many" Asians are winning those slots compared to the city's demographics. I think that's crap. I think affirmative action is 100% needed based on INCOME (since rich people have a built in advantage by being able to afford tutors, test prep, not having to wor, etc) but there is no reason to discriminate among poor people/immigrants of different racial classes simply because "too many" of one racial group are doing well compared to oethers. Perhaps they can serve as an example to others .[/quote]
