[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL so you are admitting that Asian students have to compete with other Asian students just like CS applicants compete with other CS applicants.[/quote]

At schools where there are a disproportionate amount of qualified Asian applicants, of course.  Does anyone dispute that?  At schools where there are an under-represented amount of qualified Asian applicants, they get the benefit of the same policies and objectives.

[quote=Anonymous]Do you even know what you're talking about?[/quote]
Yes.

[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure it's good intention(diversity), but when colleges use racial quota, there are more qualified students penalized.  [/quote]
You don't get to decide who is more qualified, or what those qualifications are, unless you set the objectives for a university.

[quote=Anonymous]Schools make judgments based on color, that's more racist.[/quote]
No, if a school rejected people solely on race, that would be racist.  Or if it had a disproportionate mix of one race, it would be racist.  Since it is closely proportional to the population, it is not racist.  If you can't see that difference I cannot make you.

[quote=Anonymous]There are schools that don't do that like CalTech.[/quote]
CalTech gets to decide how CalTech does admissions, as long as they don't violate the law.  I strongly support their right to do that, because I am not a hypocrite.

[quote=Anonymous]There are good intentions, but there are also unfairness. But then again there's no such thing as a perfect system. [/quote]
Well we agree that a perfect system at any one college is impossible.  But overall it works as best as it can until someone comes up with a better way.

[quote=Anonymous]No need to deny the fact. I'm not here for political correctness. You are insulting your own intelligence.  Save your preaching for your kids.[/quote]
It has nothing to do with political correctness, as has been explained.  Also please avoid Ad Hominems, they are not productive and detract from your position.  As for "preaching", if you're gonna type racist stuff, you're gonna hear about it. Sorry.[/quote]
