[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, we need to stop viewing it as an Asian slot is going to an AA student who isn’t qualified. Students are not accepted or rejected to colleges solely based on race or ethnicity.[/quote]

Come on, Harvard was found mainly to be rejecting Asians on the basis of their collective undesirable personalities (much too low-key for Harvard as a group, not "likeable" enough).

We're in an alternative universe when one poor Asian applicant after another with SATs of 1400-1600 can't compete with poor AAs with SATs of 1000-1200 for the same spots at our nation's top colleges and universities. This sort of unequal treatment in admissions has gone too far for too long. That's why Harvard and Chapel Hill have been sued.  That's why more colleges will be sued over race-based admissions if the Supreme Court punts on the Chapel Hill case, or rules in favor of the defendant.[/quote]

Asian applicants also cant complete with relatively lower-scoring whites who bump way more Asian from selective college spots than do black applicants, who apply in much lower numbers. [/quote]

So are no Asians being accepted to top tier schools?[/quote]

I’m black, but I’d say that Asians aren’t interchangeable. So the fact that many Asians meet the higher standards they are held to as a group, is of no consequence to the rejected Asian that would have had a materially better shot at admission had they been a URM (or even white perhaps). [/quote]

You have no way of proving or disproving your hypothesis. [/quote]
