[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why 22%?[/quote]

5.6 percent of the total American population IDs as Asian. Seems like a very high % vs population?[/quote]

Sounds like 22% is way too high...maybe it should be like 6%?[/quote]

I'm sure you would support harvard being 2% jewish then? [/quote]

[b]For the millionth time, Judaism is not a race[/b], and religion is not factored in college admissions at most selective colleges.[/quote]

You would be laughed at with that assertion in Israel.

You’d also be laughed at by any Jewish person. While one can convert to Judaism, it is also an ethnicity. There are several variations, including Ashkenazi and Sephardic. It’s such an ethnicity, in fact, that in genetic screenings (such as during pregnancy), doctors do a “Ashkenazi Jew panel” to screen for genetic disorders that tend to crop up within the Ashkenazi Jewish community. I know because I am 50% Ashkenazi and my husband is 75%, so our obgyn did that panel.[/quote]

Man oh man oh man oh man....  I think I am being trolled here pretty well!

This thread is in the forum "College and University Discussion" and is about college admissions.

In college admissions, "Jewish" is not considered a race and there is no place to choose it.  So in this discussion, Jewish is 100%, in-arguably, without debate, 100%, no question, not a race. Not. A. Race.[/quote]
