[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would have gotten into TJ probably[/b], but had no interest in going (white girl).  I have my friends at my school, I'm comfortable moving on with them, and I am as interested in non-STEM subjects as STEM.  Also, I have a friend who left TJ after the first year because she said there was no social life. 
Anyway, that was a few years ago.  I got into Harvard, so clearly wasn't slacking at my home school.  Calling people lazy because they don't think TJ is the best school for everyone is silly.[/quote]

Don't be so cocky and think that you would have gotten into TJ because you got into Harvard since it's likely that Asians with higher SAT scores, higher GPAs, stronger teacher recommendations, stronger essays, stronger ECs, more officer positions, more national awards and more volunteer/community service hours compared to you were rejected by Harvard.  [/quote]

Well, i doubt they had higher SAT scores since i had perfect scores.  And no prep course (not how my parents rolled).  And not URM, so don't bother with that tired old argument.[/quote]

Many applicants with perfect SAT scores get rejected by Harvard, many of them Asians. And the rejected Asians did not only have perfect SAT scores and perfect GPAs so don't bother with that tired old argument they lacked in other areas.[/quote]

You have a disproportionate chance of being admitted to TJ if you're Asian, so stop whining just because fewer kids want to go there now. [/quote]

You have a "fair chance without quotas" of being admitted to TJ if you're Asian but you have "unfair chance that has quotas" of being admitted to top colleges (except CA and MI colleges) if you're Asian so that is not whining. That is pointing out illegal discrimination against one racial group based on race. [/quote]

If you think it's illegal, then prove it.  Bring a case.  Oh, you can't?  Because you can't prove it?  If you can prove it, why don't you do something about it.  Or are you too lazy?[/quote]

The Supreme Court will rule that it is unconstitutional to use race in college admissions in the next few years if not sooner. We have 5 conservative Justices not receptive to the idea of racial discrimination in college admissions including the Chief Justice Roberts. [/quote]

OK, and you still haven't shown any illegal discrimination against Asians.   But your crystal ball is proof that there will be some ban of race as a factor in college admissions.  OK.  [/quote]
