[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, Asian communities pride themselves on being homogenous. The U.S. does not.  The U.S. will never have one ethnicity in their schools. [/quote]
I think you're confused.  Asian communities aren't out to make all the schools Asian. They just don't want to be discriminated against.  I think black people would know how that feels, right?[/quote]

You keep saying this - and it has different meaning.  Black people have a very different history in the U.S. It is not an appropriate argument.

Not all Asian people who apply can be admitted to top U.S. schools.  You need to change your focus.  There are literally THOUSANDS of colleges and universities in the U.S. Not all top white students are admitted to them. It is a[b] lottery[/b], pure and simple.  The sooner you understand this, the better off your children will be. Just because you make your children prep all their lives for a certain university, and think you are doing all the right things, does not grant admission to that university. White people have had to learn this, also.

When my parents immigrated, if they were told by their community that they need to do this prep and that prep, and they will be admitted to Harvard, my parents would have done so, too. However, my parents would have also had a plan B (and C and D and so on), because they were truly intelligent.

There are smart white people, too - not just Asians are top notch. Your posts sound extremely slanted and inaccurate. We get it, there are first generation top students who are not admitted to schools that they "should" be - the whole point is, there are only a certain number of seats, and that will never change. Period. Again, change your focus to other schools - it will only help your family. [/quote]
I understand that after a certain threshold it's a lottery, but the Harvard case shows that they use discriminatory practices, much as they did back when they discriminated against Jews by using the same tactic.

Do you think black people would be upset if they were given "high likelihood of committing a crime" on their application, especially since the AO never met them? [/quote]

Right, if it was a true lottery then black admits wouldn't have SAT scores 400 points lower than asian admits 🤣 . These posters are too dumb to even comprehend the statistical meaning of a lottery process [/quote]
400 points is actually not insignificant.

Also, you didn't answer my question: Do you think black people would be upset if they were given "high likelihood of committing a crime" on their application, especially since the AO never met them? [/quote]
[/quote]

You didn't ask that question to me so I'm not sure why I would answer it. My
Position is that black people are given a MAJOR leg up in admissions, as shown by the now public Harvard admissions data[/quote]
