[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true. I went to an Ivy and I'm a Fortune 500 CEO.

Everyone should send their kid to an Ivy 25 years ago so they can be a Fortune 500 CEO too!

Look at Sundae Pichai, Satya Nadella, Jensen Huang, Tim Cook... [/quote]

Sundai did attend UPenn and Satya attended an [b]ITT school in India which are the equivalent of HYPSM.[/b]

Jensen has a graduate degree from Stanford and gives tons more to Stanford than Oregon where he did undergrad.

Tim Cook I will give you.[/quote]
IIT isn’t equivalent to HYPSM, not even close. Don’t tell me you are concluding this based on the acceptance rates.[/quote]

Huh?  They are even more determinant of one’s fate in India compared to HYPSM in the US…but they likely are less meritocratic in terms of acceptances.

Thats how it goes in most Asian countries.  You have to attend a top school.[/quote]

I don't know how things are in India but Korea is pretty merit driven.  We recently impeached and removed a sitting president in part for using her influence to get a friend's daughter into a top women's college.

You can pretty much predict which school you will go to based on your test score.  [/quote]
dp... I'm Korean American.

I think the Korean system isn't great either, but it largely works there because there has been no system racism in Korea, so they don't really need DEI for college admissions, whereas in the US, elite universities were only for WASPs for over a hundred years, up until the 1960s.  White legacies are still the majority at elite colleges.

Even so, the workplace for women is awful in Koreao, and it doesn't matter whether the woman went to a SKY uni.

But, yes, to the impeachment of the president. Wish we did that here.[/quote]

Tell me how systemic racism in America harmed hispanic immigrants more than it harmed Asian immigrants?

If the elite colleges were meant for wasps, how come there are so many asians?  There are more asians than legacies at every ivy+ college other than SLACs

America doesn't have a monopoly on being shitty.

Koreans from the former Silla Kingdom were quislings that cooperated with Japan during the Japanese occupation to oppress the Koreans from the parts of korea that were formerly the Paekchae and Koguryo kingdoms.  And that privilege continued through the korean war and military dicatorship and even survives today.
Unless you truly believe that the koreans from the western half of korea (the ones that are the majority of the korean disapora) from the areas around Kwangju and jeunju are less capable and talented than the ones from around busan, you probably have to admit to systemic regional bias.

College admissions, jobs, promotions, lending, licensing, everything was built to create a preference for peoplle from the busan region and a detriment for the people from the Kwangju region.

And yet we impeached and REMOVED a president in part for giving an unfair advantage to aher friend's daughter in college admissions.

So we are not built the same in how we value merit.

Tell me again how oppressed korean women are compared to american women.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobbs_v._Jackson_Women%27s_Health_Organization

But yes I agree, gender roles are still a big thing in korea.  Men get a raise when they get married, women are expected to quit when they get pregnant.[/quote]
