[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asians are like lemming when it comes to education, they follow the herd, and it has ingrained in them that the Ivies are desirable and brag-worthy.  Until this mentality changes and the volume of Asian applications decreases drastically, the Asian admission yield stats won't change.  It is unrealistic to expect Harvards student body to ever get close to 70% Asians like TJ.  Asian families needs adapt their thinking and value their kids more...stop applying to a school that discriminate against them, there are plenty of good schools that don't do that.  If highly qualified Asian application volume drops, the quality of the school's applicant pool will drop also and eventually lose it cachet...[/quote]

This line of reasoning impressed me so much that I decided to apply it to one problem we are facing today, so here goes. Don't congratulate me, I am just following in a genius' foot steps

[i]Hispanics are like lemming when it comes to immigration, they follow the herd, and it has ingrained in them that migrating to the US is desirable and brag-worthy.  Until this mentality changes and the volume of Hispanics migrating to the US decreases drastically, the animosity towards Hispanic Immigration won't change.  It is unrealistic to expect Americans to ever want as many Hispanics in this country like Mexico.  Hispanics need to adapt their thinking and value their home countries more...stop trying to come to a country that doesn't want them, there are plenty of countries that don't do that.....[/i]

or this one

[i]Women are like lemming when it comes to equal opportunity, they follow the herd, and it has ingrained in them that following the occupations were men currently dominate is desirable and brag-worthy.   It is unrealistic to expect silicon valley to ever get close to 70% women like nursing.  Women need to adapt their thinking and value their kids more...stop competing for jobs that discriminate against them, there are plenty of good jobs like teaching that don't do that.  If highly qualified women stop competing with men, the quality of these industries will drop and eventually lose it cachet..[/i][/quote]

My asians friends like to say the biggest mistake America every made was teaching Asians how to build cars, trucks, TVs, computers after WWII. The asians laughed at us as they planned to use the knowledge to dominate us in the future. [/quote]
