[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if schools like Harvard rejected black male candidates because admissions staff gave them negative personality scores for things like ‘probably prone to violence’ and ‘most likely to act unruly and without discipline in the classroom’.  How outrageous would that be?  Of course it’d be despicable to reject a black man for negative personality scores based on racial stereotypes like that.  So why should we tolerate that crap but for Asians?  And you wonder why Asians are upset when Affirmative Action setup a system where they have to be judged in their personality, which ended up being based on racial stereotypes of their perceived behavior.  I can’t believe we even need to discuss this.  Affirmative Action should have died a long time ago based on the monstrosity it morphed into. Maybe at first it had merit, but it just ended up becoming a race based system using stereotypes to judge people. [/quote]

Asians low personality score was not based on any racial stereotype of their perceived behavior, except that there is a stereotype that they are smarter and will score higher, and Harvard and other schools do not want too many of them so they needed to lower their scores somehow.[/quote]
