[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the unhinged Asian poster - why are you so convinced AAs are taking all your spots? Why don't you rail against legacies and athletic admits too? What about big donor's kids who can get in with mediocre grades? First gen kids of all races get preference too, not just AA kids. Also, you conveniently ignore the positive biases that favor Asians. Research has consistently shown that teachers often assume Asian kids are smart and AA kids are not as advanced even if their actual work shows otherwise. You may be surprised to learn that I am Asian myself. I am just tired of the casual and lazy racism that many of my fellow Asians openly express.[/quote]

You have reading comprehension problems. I didn't say AAs are taking all Asian spots. Clearly, in spite of this adverse treatment, Asians as a group continue to succeed in academics and life in general. Legacy admissions in a public university, I have a problem with, a private one is none of my business. Athleticism is developmental excellence of another sort, so I don't see a problem with this at all. Per your remark about biases for Asians, I completely agree - the application process should be completely anonymous. In fact I applaud the trend of professors who only grade student work based on a student number, not knowing at all who that student is. Why would I be surprised that you are Asian? Asians can't be mis-informed? Ignorance doesn't care about skin color or race. Sure, you are tired of all the "casual and lazy racism" that Asians openly express, put feet where your mouth is and move your kids to a predominately AA school. That slight hesitation going through your mind even while pondering this suggestion theoretically is that same "casual and lazy racism" you are deriding other Asians for. [/quote]

+1. I hope bleeding heart PP's kid loses a college spot to a less qualified AA. I bet we'd see her racism come out full force.[/quote]
