[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the ruling. The open racism
against Asian students boggled my mind. There has also been a large anti white male issue happening and now less white males even go to college than before.The differences in criteria have been unfair. You even see this in kids who grew up on same street and parents make same money but are various ethnicities. Like many things people push things until enough people say no. I do think the SAT will be gone soon because schools will look to find away around this. FWIW I always thought the SAT was also unfair because you need to spend so much money in tutoring and for every genius that doesn’t need it you have thousands more kids who need the tutoring to get over these crazy scores.

Many people don't want to admit that Asians, as a group, are very smart. Their intelligence shows up at a very ypung age in preschool and elementary school settings, long before private tutoring or SAT prep. [/quote]

Umm, this is not true.  I live in a predominantly Asian neighborhood - their kids receive TONS of tutoring from an early age.  They are not "naturally" smart anymore than any other child.[/quote]

Also recent immigrants and their kids are mostly well educated and privileged. We have rigged immigration for people with money, connections, and degrees. A lot of them arrive on student visas as grad students and work connections to get to stay. There are a billion poor and uneducated Asians but you won’t see them in the U.S. [/quote]

Poor and uneducated does not equal a lack of intelligence.[/quote]

Apparently the Supreme Court believes that it does mean that for Blacks and Hispanics. Poor and less educated don’t have SAT tutors and fencing classes and prep school advantages.

But my point above was that you are looking at privileged Asians in affluent communities and elite schools concluding that all Asians are brilliant students. The extreme disparities and class divisions in most Asian countries says otherwise. [/quote]

And I will tell you again....I am not working in an affluent area. The kids I'm evaluating (Hispanic, Black, White, Asian, etc) are not affluent at all. [/quote]

I'm not going to say that Asians are smarter but I think a possible explanation for seemingly smarter asian kids from a very young age goes back to parental relationship.  It's not the tutoring.  I think it's the way traditionally Asian parents talk to their kids.  I have never heard an Asian parent (not born here) use baby talk or sound like they are talking to kids when they talk to their kids.  They talk like normal, they explain why rules are set, they explain the world how it is.  They don't dumb it down, they don't sound impressed with the tiniest thing the kid does.  Full disclosure, I am a second generation Asian and I cannot STAND the way white parents talk to their kids.  It sounds like they adopt a fake persona. [/quote]
