[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they hate asians so much that they keep on accepting them in overwelmingly disppropotionate numbers.

reminds me of work, white male colleague/friend worried aloud whether he would make partner as a white male due to firm's commitment to diversity. even though every year the firm overwelmingly elevates white men.

the firm had, and has, 1 blk nonequity partner, 1 asian, maybe 2 latin, 1 gay, 30% women partners. meanwhile if a blk lady makes it, it is bc she is blk despite trend suggesting she must have been exceptional.

i told him they may not make him partner due to his inability to do math and discern appropriate conclusions from past data.[/quote]
your math skills and data analysis are sorely lacking, as is your critical thinking skills.

Asian Americans apply to top colleges in higher numbers proportional to their representation in the general population.   You should be comparing the numbers of admits based on their % of the applicant pool, not the general population.

Same for your example:

The reason why white males are promoted a lot more is probably because there are a lot more white males up for the promotion. Statistically, a white male will get the promotion because of the larger number of white males in the pool.

In the military, there are a lot more male leaders because there are just a lot more males in the military, period.

Work on your critical thinking skills.[/quote]

Hi strawman,

No in ea case it is disproportional to the the correct number. ie those up for promo etc. Where did I provide a wrong denominator or a denominator at all? [/quote]
If there are more white men in the company, the probability of white men up for promotion goes up.

If there are more high achieving Asian American students applying to top schools, statistically, their representation in these schools will be greater than the overall population.

Statistics is your friend...not really.
