[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, well, well,  Here it is right in the early paragraph of the article:

"Asian-Americans scored higher than applicants of any other racial or ethnic group on admissions measures like test scores, grades and extracurricular activities, [b]according to the analysis commissioned by a group that opposes all race-based admissions criteria.[/b]"

So in order to get more Asians into Harvard this group opposes the use of race as a factor in admissions decisions.  That is not the law at the present time, so it will have to be decided by the Supreme Court, but the implication is they have no interest in diversity or equal opportunity for black and Hispanic students.  Only themselves.

This is clearly a problem and hopefully enough for a judge to rule in favor of Harvard.  Amazing that Asians seem to be ok with pushing out blacks and Hispanics in order to increase their chances of admission.  No wonder they are rated so low in “positive personality, likability, courage, kindness and being widely respected."[/quote]

Asians are not “ok with pushing out blacks and Hispanics”.  They just want to be like Whites who don’t have quotas on their admission like Asians do.  Plus let’s not forget that whites are disproportionately and unfairly advantaged by legacy admissions.  Harvard wasn’t accepting a whole lot of students of color 40 years ago yet the children of Harvard students will have a 30% boost to their admissions likelihood by virtue of birth.[/quote]
