[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped reading after the OP mentioned the race and ethnicity of the students going to top 10 colleges.

Why? It's interesting.

No it isn’t. It is creepy and borderline racist. “Half Asian?”

This OP has spent easy to much time dissecting the stats and outcomes of 500 kids. [/quote]

What do you call the race of a person who has an Asian Parent and a White Parent? [/quote]
Hapa[/quote]
I don't understand.  By "Hapa" do you mean "Half pale"?[/quote]
"She was tall and freckled, with long, dark hair — and we stood out in the same way. As I leaned in to say hi, she yelled over the din, 'You're hapa, aren't you?' It was the last word I expected to hear in D.C., but I welcomed the refreshing respite from the constant and inevitable question: 'What are you?'"

Thank you for sharing about "Hapa" and for the link.  You educated me about it and for that I feel enriched.  I will remember that lovely term.[/quote]
