[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of them are also Asian-Americans.  This is the standard that Asian-Americans have to bear. [/quote]
This is a laughably ridiculous comment. There are Asian-American kids on most sports teams at top academic colleges who are nowhere near talented enough to compete for the Olympics, as is the case for 99% of their non Asian American teammates. All those schools have significant percentages of Asian American students with no demonstrated athletic ability as well. [/quote]
Must be so hard for colleges to keep denying Asian-Americans admissions, no?

Not sure what you mean. I’m not aware of any colleges that deny admission to Asian-Americans.  My point is that you can be recruited as a great, but not phenomenal, Asian-American athlete with stats that meet whatever threshold the school sets.  The PP seemed to be suggesting that if you are Asian-American, you have to have Olympic level skills, which is ludicrous. [/quote]

Asians have a tougher time getting into Ivies. Newsweek reported on it. In another thread, someone said I was dumb to “think” this and my friend who told me about it was also dumb.
