[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No legacies from Langley? as if 98% of the McLean parents are college graduates? Right.[/quote]

Majority of kids got into Ivy league schools from Langley High are Asians.  These kids are not legacies at all.  They are the second-generation immigrants.  Of course, their parents are highly-educated professionals in IT or other areas.    [/quote]

It's entirely possible that at least some are legacies.  Plenty of Asian Americans [b]who attended college in the US in the late 80s and early 90s [/b]have college aged children now and they are all applying.[/quote]

Yes, these Asian Americans came to the US to attend graduate schools to get master's and PhDs.  Some of them went to Ivy league schools.  But their kids are not legacies.  Only an applicant is regarded as a legacy because a parent or other relative attended the same school [b]as an Undergraduate student[/b].  [/quote]

Hey dipshit.  I said that because I'm one of them.  I attended undergrad during this timeframe, and I know a ton of Asian American classmates from my undergrad years (it was about 15% Asian American back then).  We're all, or almost all, born in the United States and went to college back in the late 80s and early 90s.   Now our kids are applying, and they are legacies.  Stop bloviating about things you know nothing about.[/quote]

Don't think the kids getting into Ivy leagues from Langley HS are of your ethnicity. [/quote]

I have no idea, but I don't see how you can rule it out unless you know each one of them personally.  You can't tell just by looking at their names on a list.[/quote]

If you look at their names, you pretty much figure out where their parents were originally from.   [/quote]

Really?  Let's say the last name is Kim.  Are the parents from Korea or born in the US?

Remember, just because they have Asian-sounding surnames doesn't mean they weren't born in the US.  You understand that, right?  Chen is as American a surname as Jones.[/quote]
