[quote=Anonymous]Selingo’s book recounts that the whole point of athletics as a hook for admissions was to skirt around Federal law and merit admittance criteria that had started to fill the ranks with smart Jewish admits; the restore the balance to their original mission for WASP education, they devised new “merit” criteria that tilted the balance against short Jewish admits who did not thrive at sports. It’s just their luck it also worked against short Asian applicants too. Being essentially rooted in a racist and classist position, especially in the expensive niche sports with very little participation by minorities or lower income families, I can see why OP feels put out.
