[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m pretty sure the percentage of Asian students at top 20 universities is above 25 percent at each and every single one of them. So I’m not sure what the problem is. Asian Americans are about 7 percent of the population so they are very well represented at the most selective schools. [/quote]
The issue is entitlement with a Hint of racial superiority complex. they don’t believe it possible that another person from another race could be successful academically in a legitimate matter.[/quote]

I think the problem is that we keep these statistically improbable distributions of race and SAT scores at these highly selective schools without any good explanation for the disparity except that the admissions committees seem to not like our personality.[/quote]
Asians are literally 40% of the students at these top schools. I don’t know how they keep complaining[/quote]

How do you benefit if some unrelated member of your race gets into your dream school?  How are you harmed if your your dream school imposes higher standards on you than anyone else because of the color of your skin?

After Jackie Robinson broke the color line, the black talent started to overwhelm the white league and many teams started to get "too many" black players.  So there was an uinofficial rule that you could only have 5 black players on the field.  So if a black pitcher went in, a black outfielder would have to come out.  The best black player not in the majors was better than the worst white players by a fair margin.

There was a time when there were almost no black quarterbacks and people were justifiably salty about it despite the fact that most nfl players were black.  The argument was that black players lacked leadership and other personal qualities that were important to being a quarterback.  Nowadays this sounds crazy and one day your position will too.[/quote]

So you are saying, you will be okay if top colleges are 80%+ Asian?  Or 100% if that’s possible.

Can you see the difference between NFL and a college’s mission?[/quote]

I don't think I care about the race at all.  
I think this focus on racial balancing is a sickness with you people.

Admissions should be based on merit and the content of a child’s application, rather than on the color of their skin.[/quote]
Are you in 2020 or something? Admissions is currently done by merit.[/quote]
