[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus H Christ, Asians are overwhelmingly overrepresented in elite schools compared to their share of the population! There is certainly no conspiracy to keep them out and claiming such just makes you look ridiculous. If you want to argue that affirmative action is unfair and admissions should be race blind, go ahead, but please take off your tinfoil hat. [/quote] Jesus H Christ, what a stupid comment. You could use the same logic to argue that blacks are over-represented in the NBA, or in rap music, or as Mayors in DC, and establish maximum quotas for them. What matters is not share of population, what matters is share of population AT AN EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF PREPAREDNESS. If (notice I say "if") more Asian-Americans deserve admissions, given their own work and accomplishments, they should get it, and not be discriminated against because of some (tacit) maximum quotas. We already went through this once, with Jewish students, remember?[/quote]
