[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Can you explain how Asian Americans can claim discrimination in college admissions but are overrepresented on most college campuses relative to their U.S. population? [/quote] Easy. If they are 30% of the elite college population but would be 60% on the basis of merit, then they have been discriminated against.[/quote] Merit as defined by you, you mean. What Harvard is way more interested in than GPA and test scores is who's going to be a future leader in a realm that will be sure to garner Harvard lots of attention and potentially money. Some of that comes from being smart and hard-working, but there's much more to it than that. Asians are not being discriminated against.[/quote]
