[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's scary to read some of your comments and know how you REALLY feel about me, an Asian American.  So many ignorant, scared racists among you.[/quote]

Well, don't feel too bad. It's not just against Asians. I think Americans, generally speaking, feel a lot of resentment towards other races. From that standpoint, we (regardless of your race) are equally guilty. It is no "melting pot"... Just a pot with different things that don't mix thrown in. [/quote]

That doesn't make this AMERICAN feel any better.  I don't like to see racism against other races either.[/quote]

The game changed. This is not 30 years ago. Thirty years ago the population was primarily was white and black. Affirmative Action for colleges to allow black children with lower scores to be accepted was the right thing to do. Today, our country has not closed the achievement gap unfortunately still. MCPS thinks they can solve it and even they are not successful. Here is how the "college game" for race changed. The population has changed. It's now Asian scoring high, and African American and now Hispanic children too still scoring lower.  The white children numbers most likely will not change. The reality is it will allow more Asian children and black and Hispanic will no longer be accepted with lower scores. Everyone is American and it's not a white vs minority issues, it's what is best for all children and actually it impacts all the minority groups. I am really torn on this issue as I see both sides.[/quote]

The achievement gap hasn't closed because throwing money at won't solve the issue.

You could throw 100 billion at developing basketball  players in china and the nba would still never have more than a handful of Chinese.

I have never understood how people blindly accept racial differences below the neck but suddenly think these differences stop at the neck and everyone is the same from the neck up[/quote]

Do you think the NBA has always been predominantly Black?  Forty years ago it was predominantly Irish. rhings do change. I do wonder with the crackdown on Chinese academic cheating if that means the Asian acceptance rate will be lower than usual this year. [/quote]+1[/quote]

Acceptance of Asian students from other countries is different from
Acceptance rate of Asian Americans. There is a real problem of Asian Americans being discriminated against in college  admissions. You again are conflating the two.

And to your point, no.'oversess students don't need financial aid and pay full ride, so I don't foresee a decline in that. Money talks[/quote]
