[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of angry losers who thought SCOTUS was handing Ivy slots to their kids that just can’t make the grade.[/quote]

Let's do the math. In 2022 the SAT test taker demographics were as follows (from https://reports.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/20...ts-annual-report.pdf)

175,468 Asians
201,645 Black/African Americans
396,422 Hispanic/Latino
732,946 White

In 2020, the percentage of takers getting a 1500+/1400+ (respectively) by race were:

9%/23% of Asians
<1%/1% of Black/African Americans
<1%/2% of Hispanics/Latinos
2%/7% of Whites

That means that among the pool of people getting 1500/1400+ (rounding <1% to 0.5%):

15,792/40,357 are Asian
1,008/2,016 are Black
1,982/7,928 are Hispanic
14,658/51,306 are White

They're not getting mad, they're getting theirs[/quote]
Since almost all schools superscore, you are grossly underestimating the numbers of kids with higher scores…the discrepancy, while undoubtedly large, also would be smaller because, on average, Asians take the test more times, even than whites - and blacks the least.[/quote]

If this data is correct , The ivy league would be

Asian - 50%

White - 46%

Hispanic - 3%

Black - 1%[/quote]

If they went purely on academics, yes[/quote]

THE Asian success story in the United States is truly inspiring[/quote]
Being previously rich or highly educated in your past country, residing only in remarkably expensive coastal areas for the rich, and then being rich are now success stories?

Most of the Asian demographics who are from actually poor/war torn backgrounds are struggling and doing terribly in the US. You’re just focused on the East Asian people wealthy crowd.

Asian Americans are the race with the largest inequality gap.[/quote]

Large numbers of rich asian immigrants is a VERY recent phenomenon.
Large numbers of highly educated H1B asians are a fairly recent phenomenon.
Asians have been academically successful in America for a very long time.

Asians don't go to expensive coastal cities because they are rich, they go there because that is where the opportunity is.  I mean a lot of black and hispanic immigrants also immigrate to expensive coastal cities.
Asians in the wealthy coastal city of New York have the highest poverty rate among all ethnic groups.
Asians at Stuyvesant in NYC have a higher incidence of free lunch than the average stuy student.

Most second generations asians are the children of de facto economic refugees.  
The Koreans were mostly fleeing a brutal military dictatorship.  You really think the dry cleaner and grocery store stereotype comes form thin air?
The Chinese were fleeing communism.  You think all the waiter and waitresses at the chinese restaurants are related to the owner or something?
The Indians and Pakistanis were also economic immigrants.  You really think the stereotype of driving taxicabs and running convenience stores comes from thin air?

[b]Until recently asian immigrants came here with little to nothing[/b].  The success we see in America is not based on the recent influx of rich asians.  Calling out the anti-asian discrimination might be driven by rich asians that are not used to being treated poorly but they are not the reason asians are perceived as successful.[/quote]
This is complete revisionist history. Asian American immigrants were successful members of their past societies. We don't just let anyone into the country. Asians have the largest divide in income equality of any race, because the war torn asians (of which there are much fewer) make a lot less than the rich Korean, Chinese, Indians, and Japanese immigrants. The "taxicab" stereotype is racism by white people who couldn't tell you the difference between a Cambodian and Indian, and it's embarrassing that this is where you base your opinions from.[/quote]

You are ignoring history before the dot com boom.[/quote]
There have always been Asian doctors, lawyers, academics. Where do y out think the Mamdamis and Harris’s of the world come from?[/quote]
