[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez what's up with all the anti-Asia bias here?

many good posts explain why the lawsuit is meritless. I for one disavow all comments calling these applicant "robot" etc. That is offensive.  Nevertheless, Harvard's depiction of many of them as "standard strong", i.e. not exceptional enough for a spot at Harvard, considering the need for diversity, rings true.  Is that what you mean by "anti-Asia bias"?[/quote]

I'm not talking about the merits of the lawsuit.  Lots of wrongs are not actionable.  I'm talking about the obvious anti-Asian bias and bashing on this thread.  Why the constant bashing of TJ, for example?  What does that have to do with anything?

Jealousy maybe?[/quote]

Some parents believe that TJ automatically means Harvard.  Worse yet, they think that Harvard is the same caliber as other colleges/universities, or that Harvard is where every student should aspire to go to.  The "Harvard or bust" crowd is often one in the same as the "TJ or bust" crowd.  Not that hard to understand. Harvard is analogous to whatever few top "acceptable" colleges/universities. Mind you, every parent could possibly feel this way, so it makes one snowflake no different, in that regard. [/quote]

I think there's more to it than that.  The vibe I'm getting is that white parents posting on this thread think TJ is too Asian.  That's racist.  There's a lot of racism being expressed on this thread.[/quote]
