[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian students have higher average SAT scores than any other group, including whites. A study by Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade examined applicants to top colleges from 1997, when the maximum SAT score was 1600 (today it’s 2400). Espenshade found that Asian-Americans needed a 1550 SAT to have an equal chance of getting into an elite college as white students with a 1410 or black students with an 1100.

This research was published in a PUP book called No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal: Race and Class in Elite College Admission and Campus Life by Thomas J. Espenshade & Alexandria Walton Radford (a free excerpt here: http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s9072.pdf)[/quote]
White people should view asians as more of a threat to their kids' chances of getting into an elite college than blacks and hispanics.  I would say be careful what you wish for, but unfortunately for them, it's too late.[/quote]

Again 72% of Asians have college degrees. No one is discriminating against them. They’re still going to colleges/universities. Only 43% of white hold a college degree. They’re upset that 100% of Asian students who apply to Harvard are not accepted.[/quote]

No, they’re upset because Asian students are being held to much higher standards than students of other races.   Asians are also tired of having their personalities used negatively against them that is also disgustingly based on racial stereotypes.

Way to try to deflect from the true issue. [/quote]

Asians are still getting college degrees, sweetie. No one is discriminating against them. If only 25% had college degrees, I would agree with discriminatory practices.[/quote]
