[quote=Anonymous]There are lots of highly qualified black kids. But unfortunately the schools went overboard with DEI (I am a left-of-center, anti-Trump Democrat). I socialize and work with upper class black families (think the Martha's Vineyard crowd) and they knew their kids had a lower bar. Some of these kids were superstars who didn't need the lower bar. But others weren't. And this led to people on campus wondering whether the kid was there because they deserved it (as was the case for many) or because of preference.

So many of the Asian students today refuse to assimilate, or try and and fail miserably. Jews were like Asians but made much more of an effort to fit in, and were more successful (there are obviously many exceptions both in terms of Jews who are still not assimilated and Asians who are). I'm not saying that everyone should be 100% a conformist and exactly the same as that would make the world boring. But the stereotype of the super intense, poorly socialized Asian kid didn't come from nowhere. And there are now a lot more of them at elite colleges.[/quote]
