[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I know is Harvard engages in "[b]racuial [/b]balancing" and that is perfectly legal.[/quote]

sorry, racial[/quote]
[b]As a Harvard Alum[/b], I agree that having a balanced class is valuable in the learning and social experience. The kids who came in with only high GPA/SAT scores added absolutely nothing to the experience and environment. I've also talked to a number of my former Asian classmates and none of them support this lawsuit. I don't think they want to be further stereotyped by an influx of high GPA/SAT robots.[/quote]

You can't possibly be a Harvard alum because you're too dumb.  Nobody gets into Harvard with just high gpa/sat score (especially asians).  And don't you get it?  Asians aren't saying that they should get in based on just high academic stats.  What they're complaining about is that even if they have everything else (interesting ec's, great essay, interviews, recs...), they simply have a harder time getting in just because they're asians.  As in, if you or anyone else was reading all of Harvard's applications (not just the test scores, gpas but everything going into the application) without knowing the applicant's race, you would be selecting way more asian applicants for admission.  That's racial discrimination, that they're being excluded solely based on race and nothing else.   [/quote]
