[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard and other top schools have always made it clear that they are looking at much more than just academics. Harvard is about creating leaders, not only academic scholars, so they need to look at far more than just test scores and grades.

Excellent job at stating the obvious.  And bonus points for casual racism insinuating that Asians are only excellent at academics.  Utter imbecile.  [/quote]

The car, plane, light bulb, internet, nuclear power all must have been invented by Asians. They are so smart [/quote]

You're embarrassing yourself with your stupidity but you're likely too stupid to realize it.  Oh, and if you have wifi in your trailer you might want to research gunpowder, the compass and printing

FFS, people getting into a pissing contest about which race is smarter.

In the US, every aspect of society - from politics to mainstream media - has been controlled by white people. So, it's kind of hard for non white people to take on leadership roles historically  Bamboo ceiling is just one example. That is changing, slowly. Look at some of the leaders in high tech; more and more Asian Americans entering politics.  More and more Asians in our media.

Asian American population is small, so it's kind of hard for Asian americans to stand out as leaders.  Maybe Harvard should allow in more Asian Americans so more of them will be trained by Harvard to enter into leadership roles.  Now, there's an equalizer.  We have enough white people in leadership roles, many who are corrupt and inept.[/quote]

there are less jews than asians in the us but there are a shit ton of jews in leadership positions.

how do you explain that?[/quote]

And how long have the Jews been in the country compared to Asians?  The Indians are just getting started.  Come back in 20 years..[/quote]

east asians have beenfor 150+ years. Remember who built the railroad?

Jews are in leadership positions because they have the intellectual firepower of asians coupled with superior verbal and interpersonal skills.

Though I can start to see indians slowly joining the ranks of jewish success - albeit not as high in concentration. [/quote]

If you read about Jewish immigration, you will notice that most of them were city dwellers even where they came from.  Most landed up in New York, worked in the clothing industry and slowly made their way into the top echelons of NY business - Finance and Law.  Eventually they made it into Medicine and other areas.  Their network is also unparalleled since they always had to have a network given the Christian persecution of Jews everywhere.

Chinese on the other hand were indentured labor, not allowed to vote or own property.  Cannot compare their rate of growth to the Jews.

Indians present a different case.  The recent wave of Indians (not the Motel Patels) started in the 90s.  These are the educated, IT skilled immigrants that now dominate IT in about 20 years.  Most are dual-income and earn way more than the local mean wherever they are in this country.  They are slowly getting into every non-IT area imaginable.  This will likely go on for at least two more generations (another 40+ years) after which the "laws of the melting pot" will kick in as they too lose their edge and their offspring tend towards the average in terms of education, aspirations and accomplishments. However, India is a large enough country that I suspect first gen immigrants from there will keep coming into this country for a while regardless of how Trump changes immigration policy.  If immigration becomes merit-based, guess who will benefit the most?[/quote]
