[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was accepted BECAUSE he was a minority. If he was white, it wouldn't be newsworthy.  It is reverse racism. [/quote]

Asians are discriminated against in Ivy Leagues...but in reverse.  Asians have to score higher than a white person, have more extra curricular activities, and almost solve world hunger to get into Ivy Leagues.  A few months ago, there was news story about an Asian kid from immigrant parents that got $1mil worth of scholarships from various schools.   The reason these stores are news worthy is because they are outstanding achievements.  You have a better chance to get into an Ivy League if you come from money because you have the resources to do better in school, ie, prep classes and tutors.  It is MUCH harder when you try to do it on your own, like the Asian kid in the news story, and most other immigrants that achieve this level of success.

I'm sorry you are so bitter.  Maybe you or your kids should work harder than immigrants.[/quote]
