[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To play devil’s advocate, why shouldn’t we take the admissions office at their word that on balance the Asians American students were lower on “positive personality,” likability, courage, kindness and being “widely respected”? The assumption here seems to be that obviously the students were wrongly interpreted and discriminated against, but not everyone has all the same qualities. And if Asian American parents disproportoonately are encouraging success in testing, grades, and music, why do we necessarily think they are also disproportionately focusing on kindness, courage, social skills, and leadership? [/quote] Because Harvard takes lower-scoring students without any evidence that they have better "soft" skills. Therefore, it is plain discrimination. But thanks for coming back again and playing after your other racist post was deleted! [/quote] Sorry, first post. Apparently more people disagree with you.[/quote]
