Penalty for being Asian american?[/quote]

Even Stanley‘s father acknowledges that there’s not enough facts to determine racism. In the article he claims that universities are turning down over qualified students, and he wants to know why.[/quote]
DP, but of course he wouldn’t claim it publicly without concrete evidence (yet). But it’s more than likely the case.[/quote]

The only evidence that would support their claim is if a college used racial quotas-- otherwise, they would have to prove that Stanley was singled out amongst his Asian peers at his high school.[/quote]
It’s not that hard to do. Just compare a student from the same high school but of a different race. If that student got into a UC but with less impressive credentials(whatever UC defines), we’ll have a conversation of racial discrimination.[/quote]

Isn't that school 60% Asian? You are going to try to compare him to everyone else in his class except the other Asians???[/quote]
60% Asians means 40% non-Asians. That’s still a lot of people to compare to, isn’t it? We’ll see if it’s really race blind like UC claimed.[/quote]

45.7% Asian
30.6% White
11.7% Hispanic
10.0% Two or More Races
1.4% Black
0.4% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
0.1% American Indian/Alaska Native

Good luck  :roll: [/quote]

+1 let's compare him to the 4 black kids and 60 Hispanic kids in his class because that is what you want to believe that he got passed over by a URM. And how many of those kids applied as a CS major? What data will they use, GPA? No class rank or SAT scores for UCs :roll: [/quote]
