[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s so sad that an Asian kid feels the need to hide identity because of discrimination. I’m white and I’m very empathetic to this. I’m sorry OP.[/quote]

There is nothing inherently wrong with discrimination. When you choose a salad as your side, you discriminate against the French fries. That isn’t the issue.

I have no problem with colleges that desire a diverse student body effectively putting a cap on how many students of a similar background they will accept.[/quote]

So you see nothing wrong with Harvard in the old days capping Jewish students to 2%[/quote]

Nope. That’s about the proportion to society, right?[/quote]

Right.

Tell me, oh Wise. How about the NFL and NBA?  We need 2% Jewish players proportional to society?  [/quote]

And I’m 5’2” white women. I’m discriminated against in NBA. [/quote]
You're not discriminated against in the WNBA, you will simply fail to meet the requirements. Asian American students do not fail to meet the requirements, they overwhelmingly exceed them.[/quote]

Most people applying to top institutions are qualified. The act of admissions is inherently discriminatory. That doesn’t make it wrong or illegal.[/quote]

If there is a basketball tryout where a white kid is ripping up the court while an Asian kid is barely making the the minimum, and the coach ends up picking the Asian kid because there are already too many white kids on the team, that's discriminatory.
