[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me the Asian American number SCREAMS discrimination.[/quote]

At UVA and W&M, the differences between admitted Asian American GPAs and those of other groups were relatively small, but the SAT score differential is significant.  Admitted Asians scored 60 points higher on average compared to whites, 130 points compared to Hispanics, and 240 points compared to blacks.  At W&M, the numbers were similar, with admitted Asians scoring 50 points higher than whites, 130 points higher than Hispanics, and 240 points higher than blacks.

At Virginia Tech, the same pattern continued, but it was less extreme. SAT differentials for admitted Asians were 40 points above whites, 70 points above Hispanics, and 140 points above blacks.

While I recognize that achieving diversity may be a worthy goal, the delta between Asians and whites seems difficult to justify to me.  What is ironic is that these universities include Asians in their counts of "people of color".  [/quote]
