This is pure conjecture. No direct evidence supports this. Sure, a group that makes up 15% of the county's population has occupied 70% of the seats now only has 60% because of a chance in policy. Let's keep this in perspective.[/quote]

Stop distorting the numbers to try to make your point.  A group that makes up 20% of the FCPS population has occupied 73% of the seats and now only has 54%.  So, the overrepresentation is not as drastic as you're making it out to be, and the reduction in Asian enrollment is twice as large as you're claiming.

The overrepresentation of Asian students of course has [i]nothing whatsoeve[/i]r to do with the fact that Asian cultures greatly value education and hard work. :roll: [/quote]

Yes, stop distorting the numbers! Fairfax county is 17% Asian according to the latest data. Asian students typically have been awarded 70% of the TJ admissions in recent years. It's gone down to 60%, but on the whole Asians are doing far better than anyone else with this metric so I think discrimination in race-blind admissions is a distraction. Seems like the real issue is purchasing admissions.[/quote]
