[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian parents just need to quit salivating over Harvard. When I lived near there I'd see huge busloads of Asian tourists coming through campus. Maybe the problem is not the preportionately fewer Asians that are admitted; maybe it's the proportionally much higher numbers of Asians who apply because their parents are obsessed with the place. There are so many fantastic colleges in this country. We don't all have to line up at one of them.[/quote]

It's not just Harvard.  All of the Ivies use race-based admission policies that are based on government mandated AA regulations.  The point of the case going to the Supremes is to overturn the federal AA regulations that mandate quotas.  They were originally intended to be more protective of minorities, but they don't really do that.[/quote]

Government mandated affirmative action regulations?? Where are you possibly getting this? In 2003 a Supreme Court case ruled that it was not illegal for a public university to take race into account in admissions. This year, the court could revisit that decision and decide it is not legal to take race into account in any way. If you really think our government mandates affirmative action quotas at American colleges, you are tremendously ignorant about our country.[/quote]
