[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While many people were worried that Black and Brown people were getting an unfair advantage, new stats like this underscore what the future will hold:

Asians/Indians will quickly overtake whites as the majority on campus AND in the most prestigious grad school programs and professions.

And the progress made for blacks and Latinos will be diminished.

You can further extrapolate the ripple effect when whites become the disadvantaged minority. I give it one decade before it’s very noticeable, and within two generations it will be what drives race wars. (Please don’t shoot the messenger; let’s have a civil discussion.)[/quote]
Insane. There are not going to be race wars if whites are a disadvantaged minority, which isnt likely either.[/quote]

I think “race war” is extreme. I think people are just going to move the goal posts. People are going to say the elite schools and the ivy’s don’t matter so their kids can still find their way into top jobs.[/quote]

They will try but unless someone can make the argument that admission to the colleges are no longer a proxy for merit, this will not happen.[/quote]

Do Americans actually want meritocracy? We say we do, but do we actually mean it?[/quote]

Exactly. Do we really love the SAT, or do we only love it to the extent it seems to justify white supremacy? Because I suspect it’s the latter. [/quote]

So they loved the SAT when it filtered out black applicants but stunned it down when it started following out white applicants?

If we went back to the SAT we had before dumbing down, colleges would be too Asian?[/quote]

I am an Asian but I will be honest I despise grinding and dislike seeing robotic behaviors and thinking from any races. I don't think grinding hard is Asian only things, Asian are the biggest population in the
 world so it gives that stereotype that Asians are all robots. No it is not.[/quote]

Dude, nobody LIKES grinding.  But repetition and practice is necessary to improve a skill.

While Asians don't have a monopoly on hard work, Asians on average study more hours than other groups.  Much more.  The average black student spend 36 minutes a day on homework, Hispanic students spend 50 minutes, white students spend 56 minutes, while Asian students spend 134 minutes a day... 2 hours and 14 minutes a day.... on homework.  These are averages and they explain the differences in average academic performance.[/quote]

Exactly nobody likes it, have you thought why there is a need to GRIND hard if you are truly intelligent? Is it true passion or parental push? Why do they all grind one thing only (math or anything that looks good on resume?)
Asian parents are known to be tiger parents. And that's the kind of trade off they pick without long term vision. Lot of grind or force to grind students - mentally lost or ill, burn out, go NC (no-contact) with their parents, some need therapy to compensate their lost childhood.
