[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, racism against white people is the real problem in America.[/quote]

The point has sailed right over your head.  No one has claimed your strawman.  What we ARE saying is that you can’t possibly claim “racism” against Asian applicants when just as many - if not more - white students with excellent stats are being rejected.  Deal with it and quit playing the victim.[/quote]

Except white students with mediocre stats are being accepted because of their legacy or athletic status [/quote]

Do you have a stat for that claim?  Or did you pull it right out of your a$$ hole?[/quote]

What rock do you live under?  They did a whole study on this using the Harvard admissions data.

“Among white admits, over 43% are ALDC. Among admits who are African American, Asian American, and Hispanic, the share is less than 16% each. Our model of admissions shows that roughly three quarters of white ALDC admits would have been rejected if they had been treated as white non-ALDCs. Removing preferences for athletes and legacies would significantly alter the racial distribution of admitted students, with the share of white admits falling and all other groups rising or remaining unchanged.”
