[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I read that Harvard rated Asians lower on personality, it sounds like they found them robotic devoid of unique traits, like students who have been trained to study and regurgitate on tests.  Harvard wants unicorns, not robots.[/quote]

Harvard has bent over backwards to increase the number of minority students, so much so that now the the last two classes have been majority-minority.  I find it churlish beyond belief to sue them because this group believes it should have more than a 22% share of the class.  This does reflect on their judgment and single-minded obsession with getting onto the most prestigious college.

BTW, any data on the percent of Asians at Princeton and Yale? I'm going to assume it's maybe higher at Stanford.[/quote]

Again, very insensitive to lump all minorities into one pot and saying: "look, we've got so many non-whites!". That's the perspective of a racist white person.

And again, this is a conversation about qualified minority applicants being rejected in favor of LESS qualified applicants, who also happen to be white. This stinks to high heaven whichever way you slice it.
