[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And also, Asian Americans are the most harmed by equity. [/quote]

Asian americans are hugely overrepresented in many areas of privilege.  That's pretty much the opposite of being harmed.[/quote]

They are over-represented because they EARNED the right to be there. They WORKED for it. And are being penalized by public schools and colleges because of that.[/quote]

Well, no. Your value system places different emphasis on what constitutes “accomplishment.”

Believe it or not, real achievement in education isn’t just GPAs and test scores. The 4.4 / 1550 SAT kid isn’t owed a spot at VT because of those statistics, especially if he can’t listen to what VT values and demonstrate service and put some time into expressing himself clearly in the supplemental essays, with VT says are highly important.

I am so tired of this “well we earned it because our grades are better.”

No, you aren’t. You aren’t necessarily the better candidate. Deal with it. And saying that isn’t racial discrimination. [/quote]

What do you consider accomplishment?  How do you know that the essays are not just a way to filter out "undesirable" asians?[/quote]
