[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting to see the black lady beating up on white posters. What is sad is that Asian Americans who are most affected by this ruling is forgotten and ignored once again.

Forget Becky with bad grades, Asian Americans with excellent grades, scores, awards, ECs, leadership skills, sport etc. are getting denied admission to top schools due to soft quotas in place at the top universities for Asian Americans . Asian Americans have accomplished academic and non-academic accomplishments despite many of them (or their parents) being immigrants who had to overcome language and cultural obstacles in addition to the same racial discrimination. Blacks are not the only group experiencing discrimination. Asians have been forced into slave labor, sent to internment camps, had property confiscated, lynched, subject to Chinese Exclusion Act etc.

[b]Hopefully, the legal actions against Harvard and UNC by Asian Americans can proceed now the SCOTUS case is over.  [/b]

Don't forget, wherever Holistic admission system" is used without considering "race", blacks make up extremely small number which is very telling.

For example, TJ uses "Holistic Admission System" and places heavy emphasis on short essays (SIS) and longer essay (some would say to give preference to non-Asians) and the admission's office bends backwards to recruit and admit blacks and Hispanics but their numbers are typically around 1% and 3% respectively and not much better for Berkeley and UCLA for blacks (2-3%) while Hispanics do better (20-25%).

Oh please, yes.  Even if we reached the point that the makeup of the student body at one of these colleges was 100% Asian, there would still be some on here complaining that they had higher scores and should have gotten in.  Holistic is holistic and can't be reduced to just numbers (even when those numbers include ECs with the appropriate number of awards and level of leadership).

And look at what has happened to TJ.  As the make-up of the student body has changed, the school has become more of a stress factory, causing many students not to want to apply and some teachers to leave.  Colleges each have their cultures and administrators often want to preserve those.  [/quote]

[b]Many students not want to apply = whites scared to compete with Asian Americans or racist;
Teachers leave = teachers are retiring after 20-30 years of service.
Whites can run from competetion but they cannot hide forever. :wink: [/b][/quote]

It's not fear, it's not wanting that kind of pressured environment.  I'd call that smart.
The teachers I know who have left have left because they didn't like how the culture was changing.  They have not retired, but found jobs at schools with a healthier atmosphere and more balance.
Your third comment is so obviously misguided and/or racist, it doesn't warrant a response.  It is worth noting, however, that instances of cheating at TJ are on the increase.[/quote]

Whites can try to oppress but Asians are smarter than whites. Can't oppress that forever.  :D [/quote]
