[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While many people were worried that Black and Brown people were getting an unfair advantage, new stats like this underscore what the future will hold:

Asians/Indians will quickly overtake whites as the majority on campus AND in the most prestigious grad school programs and professions.

And the progress made for blacks and Latinos will be diminished.

You can further extrapolate the ripple effect when whites become the disadvantaged minority. I give it one decade before it’s very noticeable, and within two generations it will be what drives race wars. (Please don’t shoot the messenger; let’s have a civil discussion.)[/quote]
Insane. There are not going to be race wars if whites are a disadvantaged minority, which isnt likely either.[/quote]

I guess you haven’t heard or overheard any candid conversations with white parents whose kids have been shut out of their state flagships.

45% Asian At Hopkins is pretty dramatic. [/quote]

Asians shouldn't be punished for being super smart, just like certain groups shouln't be punished for producing outstanding athletes. [/quote]

Keeping all these Asians out, and stopping them from taking over the top universities, is not punishing them.

It’s promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. [/quote]

By keeping out the smartest and brightest so lesser qualified can be physicians, scientists, researchers, etc? Most people want the brightest in those professions. [/quote]

Going to an elite college doesn’t correlate to success in a field, it [b]increases your chances[/b] but doesn’t mean you will be more successful[/quote]

I agree. 
However, the pursuit of elite schools won’t go away as long as many prestigious employers continue to target students from those schools and keep the old ranking system in mind.

For example, consider what would happen if Goldman Sachs started hiring primarily from no-name schools. Even though many employers don’t care about the specific school and a school does not determine a student’s ability, this still functions as a pre-filtering system for employers.

As you said, it increases the chance of success, which is one of the reasons people remain hypersensitive about gaining admission to elite schools.
