It's really sickening how people on this thread deny what's going on right in front of their nose.

Asians are discriminated against at selective universities, period. The most well-rounded Asian will be judged to a higher standard than his or her white counterpart (or AA, or hispanic, etc). This has been proven.

Noone does anything about it, just as decades ago, no one did anything about anti-Jewish admissions to top colleges.

Result: Jews worked harder and got in anyway and now dominate certain academic and intellectual circles.
The same will happen to Asians.

It's just sickening how these populations have to strive so far beyond the rest to get equal recognition. [/quote]What is sickening is your continued victimization of Asians who are well represented in colleges especially CalTech, Stanford, Berkeley, etc.  What you really want is to take the seats awarded to AA, white females, the Midwestern farm kid who wouldn't normally have a HYP shot.

For arguments sake, although Asians were the largest minority admitted (20%) for Harvard class of 2018 followed by Hispanic, AA, and Native American, let's grant your wish and take all their seats (27% total) and award them to Asians.

So now, you have 47% of Harvard 2018 seats and a significantly sizable number of Asian 2400 SAT scorers,  5.0 GPA, concertmasters remaining who state that their scores are significantly better (let's just throw essays out the window) and demand the remaining seats from white applicants who had 2250 vs Asian 2400.

2,048 Harvard seats for 2018.  Let's see how you divvy up those seats among thousands of perfect scoring Asians since you opine that the rest of us are academically incapable of reaching your falsely perceived standard.
