Plenty of Asian parents are fed up with their kids being discriminated against and being held to an impossible standard.  The system is rigged against them, why not play the game?[/quote]

Have you seen the make up of Ivy campuses? My kid was admitted to several T15. Asian kids are over represented. At one Ivy, Asian was the majority race of the admitted students group that day. Stop playing the victim.  Many Asian families think there is some recipe to a T15 and now claim discrimination.  It's holistic admissions,  and every T15 campus has a large cohort of Asian kids. Much larger than population percentages would suggest. Even if these schools filled all their spots with Asian kids, it would still result in overwhelming rejection for most Asian kids. [/quote]

Same thing happened with Jews many decades ago but now they make up about 25% of Ivy schools when they make up 2% of the population. That is 12 times the population but you don't hear about how Jews are extremely over-represented. Asians make up about 6% of the population and make up about 18% of Ivy schools - approximately 3 times the population.

Without discrimination in college admissions, the % would be about 60% not 18%. There is your discrimination.[/quote]

Ahh, it’s the anti-Semitic Asian posting again.  Get your facts straight. Jews don’t come anywhere close to 25% at the Ivy’s. At best half that and at most it’s lower. And at MIT and CMU, they are only 5% of the population. [/quote]

DP: might you be an anti-Asian Jew? What previous PP is saying, be it 12 or 25%, is esentially correct. Jews are "overrepresented" if you use the same racial thinking applied to Asians, and it is deeply unfair (and deeply surprising) that you seem to support that the same injustice done to Jews historically now be done to Asians.
