[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the parent of a South Asian male senior.  This is how it is playing out - excellent EC, top grades, rigorous curriculum, top SATs, prestigious internships. job, community service, national and state level honors, good recommendations, great essays etc... but riding the rejection train currently.  We are full pay family.

My kid is brilliant and in STEM field, so he will be ok even in a not-top college.  Eventually, he will be employed because of his skills and because barrier to entry is high for his career choice.  He refused to lie on his application and clearly said that he wanted to do CS or Engineering...which is death knell for South Asian males.  Maybe he will go via the community college route? Who knows.

Basically, savvy SA people are going for CS/Engineering - adjacent majors along with another humanities major like gender studies/ women studies/LGBTQ studies etc. Most are also pretending that they are bisexual or binary (using They/Them) and writing in their essays that their South Asian parents have been beating the sh1t out of them because of their sexuality. All of this is allowing them to get into Ivy Leagues.  My son did not have the appetite for that so that is that...

Also, by being denied admissions because of his race has made him more savvy about racial-politics in USA. His blinders are off, and hopefully this will teach him to be less idealistic and more capable of looking out for his own interests in the future. [b]USA is all about screwing every one else,[/b] and this lesson was very important for him to learn. [/quote]

I don’t disagree that being South Asian (or any kind of Asian) puts a kid at a disadvantage for college admissions.

However, I take issue with your last comment.  Sounds like you want to find a reason to hate the USA.  I hope you have family in India or Pakistan (or whichever country you are from).  The culture there is very much about looking our for yourself and screw what happens to ‘others’.

The reason Asians are discriminated against here in the US is because Blacks and Latinos have a harder time and the US colleges are trying to adjust for that.[/quote]

Your entire post is a racist rant.  But, get it in your thick head that this is not your country and has never been.  So, I can live here and say what I want unless the native Americans tell everyone to leave. This is my country now and I probably own a bigger part of it than you will ever do.

[b]Unfortunately, more Blacks and Latinos are not replacing Asian-Americans.  Asians are being replaced with lower performing Whites.[/b]  US colleges can try and adjust for whatever they think they want to adjust for, eventually, South Asians are getting the jobs  based on their skills and qualification and doing this without and student loans.
