[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they hate asians so much that they keep on accepting them in overwelmingly disppropotionate numbers.

reminds me of work, white male colleague/friend worried aloud whether he would make partner as a white male due to firm's commitment to diversity. even though every year the firm overwelmingly elevates white men.

the firm had, and has, 1 blk nonequity partner, 1 asian, maybe 2 latin, 1 gay, 30% women partners. meanwhile if a blk lady makes it, it is bc she is blk despite trend suggesting she must have been exceptional.

i told him they may not make him partner due to his inability to do math and discern appropriate conclusions from past data.[/quote]

Asians may get accepted in disproportionate numbers, but they are even more disproportionately qualified.

It's not even close.[/quote]

How to get you to understand that standardized test scores are just one qualification out of many.

Stop acting like they trump all else.

Others do not share that value! [/quote]

Tests scores are a pretty handy number because they correlate to pretty much everything else you would want.
And is more accurate than any other measure.
That's why so many schools are going back to test required.[/quote]
