[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why don’t they admit the Asians with lower test scores and well-rounded  qualities that everyone assumes is unique to white kids.

These qualities are not mutually exclusive. Yet when it comes to Asians , we assume their scores must have been earned by studying in sweat shops. It’s a fallacy. Amy Chua raised two kids. She didn’t riase every Asian in this country.

Moreover, the whole process is hypocritical. We applaud athletes. How many hours a day did they put into their sport? Students competing at the collegiate level are playing  sports like it’s a full-time job. Does that fit well with the the whole-child philosophy?

Harvard doesn’t accept well-rounded, well balanced happy little children. They admit world-class talent- Kids who have spent an unhealthy amount of time dedicated to a few things. They want the Intel Science winners. They want the world-class violinists.  They strive to find a well-rounded class, but they are not looking for well-rounded kids. So i[b]t’s simply a bunch of crock when they score Asians lower on personality.[/b] There is nothing holistic about how these kids obtain these amazing achievements. It doesn’t matter if you are Asian, white or black. They all got there more or less the same way. That’s why their admissions is racist and bias.

+ a million.

Not only that, but alumni interviewers seem to give Asian students pretty much the same personality scores as kids from other groups.

It's the Harvard administrators who are playing God and kicking them out and just looking for excuses.

I hope the lawsuit goes all the way through.[/quote]
