[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you not understanding why Harvard was discriminating against Asians, let me enlighten you:

When comparing applicants with the same level of academic achievement, Asians always had the worst personality scores of any group. The SFFA constructed an index based on Harvard’s academic rating and used it to divide applicants into 10 evenly-sized groups (deciles) based on the strength of their academic performance. Within each of the 10 academic deciles, Asians had the lowest personality scores across all of the racial groups. A perfect 10 for 10.

Within each racial group, high academic performance strongly predicted high personality ratings, but Asians had the lowest average personality rating even though they had the highest average academic rating.

In contrast, [b]Harvard alumni rated Asians similar to whites on personality and better, on average, than Latinos and blacks[/b]. But it is the admissions office, not alumni, that ultimately determines Harvard’s personality ratings.

In what world is this ok?[/quote]

+1 Harvard was systematically biased against Asians.  I don't know how you look at the data and conclude otherwise.[/quote]

This whole Asians have a bad personality thing always disturbed me.

It’s so statistically awful. [/quote]

The point is that Harvard's own alum who actually met the applicants scored the Asian applications just fine on "personality" but that the admissions office just ignored/overrode it.  Not only are they blatantly discriminating against Asians, they are actually perpetuating racial stereotypes by making up a "personality" score for the sole purpose of failing Asians in this category.  This is SO important because these are the very people calling others racist for calling them out on their discrimination.  I don't even know how they sleep at night.  [/quote]

Who are those poor Asian students Harvard discriminated against?

These are American Indians that come from middle and upper class families who own businesses or are doctors or other high income.

These parents can afford to tutor their kids from tender age of 3 in math, etc. they pay tutors, consultants, test prep.

It’s not any different from wealthy white parents. These are wealthy Asians mostly.[/quote]
