[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is embarrassing from the TJ students and I am frankly shocked that these decided to put their names on it. It's just not good writing. Their position is a defensible one but this is a poorly mounted defense at best.

The vast majority of students at TJ will not accept this change, and that's to be expected because they were admitted through a different process that told them that they were the best and brightest.

+1 to the letter being very poorly written.[/quote]

to be fair it is a STEM school. I wonder if their college essays are equally well written; that could explain the annual disappointment at TJ [/quote]

You might be on to something here....[/quote]

Very few Asians are lawyers. [/quote]

This stereotyping is false.  I work with quite a few Asian lawyers.  I think the letter is poorly written, but that doesn't mean all TJ kids can't write or that all Asians can't write.  [/quote]

Just googled, data from 2018:

In recent years, race and ethnicity information has been collected as well, though currently only 20 states report that data to the ABA. For 2018, the reported data shows 85 percent of attorneys identify as Caucasian/White; 5 percent as African-American; 5 percent as Hispanic; 3 percent as Asian; 1 percent as Native American; and 1 percent as multiracial.

There you go.  I totally don’t think Asians are smarter.  They just get discriminated into STEM field where they thought only merit matters. And now that has to be taken away from them too [/quote]

I can Google too.  47% of Harvard Law's Class of 2023 are "students of color." [/quote]
