[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian families as a cohort prize STEM careers and cultivate their children to do well in STEM classes. I'm sure many of them contribute immensely to TJ. I don't get the argument against Asians and TJ. It's like penalizing farmer children for doing well on manual labor tasks.[/quote]

1) Students shouldn't be penalized for not being born into an Asian family, and admission to TJ should be an accomplishment of the student, not the family

2) Many do, and many don't. The number of kids at TJ - again, of ALL races - who just show up, take their classes, get their diploma and leave without contributing anything to the broader community is disgraceful for a selective school, and is a function of a previous narrow-minded admissions process that over-selected for test-taking skills

3) It's not an argument against Asians, it's an argument in favor of representative diversity, which CONSISTENTLY produces stronger academic environments and students more prepared to face and take on the problems of the real world. When you have a population that is wildly over-represented in any environment, any effort to achieve legitimate diversity will have an impact on that population regardless of whether they are specifically being targeted

4) That analogy has no relevance at all and it's not clear what point you're trying to make with it.[/quote]
