[quote=Anonymous][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]

Because for many who support this suit, TJ is the model that Harvard should follow. [/quote]

Right.  And nobody wants that because TJ is too Asian.  Racist.[/quote]

DP here.  I am not saying what is right or wrong, ideally everyone would get into everywhere they apply - especially if their parents feel they "deserve" it, right?  Hell, I know someone who had no basis for claiming their child "deserves" an Ivy, and they come hell or high water wanted Harvard, but they had to settle for a lesser Ivy, so?  I do know both whites and Asians that have turned down TJ because it is not a real world experience, and they want a different experience for their children.  I don't know if I agree, for my children, but everyone is entitled to their own experience and opinion.  Just because I don't agree with that stance, does not make it not so. [/quote]
