[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my many problems with these posts is that they op [b]seems to refer to African Americans as though they are the sole cause for limited number of Asian Americans not getting in.[/b] I don't care how many times you say this or how many threads you start. The legacy and international students account for 20-25 percent alone while African Americans are between 5-8 percent of elite schools. Also, a perfect test score often means years of studying. How should that be the deciding factor? That is what you are arguing? [/quote] As an Asian American, I don't think it's the *sole* cause. There are white kids with less than stellar grades/scores getting in above Asian American kids with more impressive e.c., grades, scores. That's also the issue. And also, there are white students who have sued colleges for this same thing: http://college.usatoday.com/2015/06/29/supreme-court-will-re-hear-university-of-texas-affirmative-action-case/[/quote]
