[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting how many people try to shout down a caucasian person who even questions the possibility that reverse discrimination is going on.

“Stop”?  What is up with that?

It wasn’t until Asian-American started to complain about it that anyone paid attention.  And the reason is because people like the prior poster cannot shout them down.[/quote]

No one is trying to shut anyone down. It's just when posters zoom in on URMs as the major problem as opposed to also focusing on athletes (predominantly white), legacies (predominantly white), and donor admits (predominantly white), then that seems problematic. Plus, let's be real, if the white people complaining were honest, they'd know that there is an Asian kid with higher stats than their kid that didn't get in. It's basically don't give preference to URMs but let my kid in over stronger stats Asian kids because stats don't reflect potential, charisma--you know the things the robotic Asian kids don't have according to the tired stereotypes. It's the hypocracy that gets called out.[/quote]
