[quote=Anonymous]PP here. I also think the responses here are kind of racist. Rather than thinking about what may be a true discrimination based on race, so many posts are about the problems with high achieving Asians. I am white btw. I get that there are a lot of Asian Americans who fit the generalization of hyper competitive, grade oriented students just looking to get into Harvard. There are a lot of whites who fit that generalization too. If you put a white face on all of the Asian Americans who are applying to Harvard and told me their resume, I'd be saying a lot of them should be a shoo-in for Harvard too. I think that the minute you say Asian, we have a tendency to start assigning them into these negative stereotypes, and that is racist. Can posters respond to this: do you think it is wrong to have quotas based STRICTLY on race? (not socioeconomic status or anything to do with traits truly valuable to the candidate's application)[/quote]
