Insane. There are not going to be race wars if whites are a disadvantaged minority, which isnt likely either.

I guess you haven’t heard or overheard any candid conversations with white parents whose kids have been shut out of their state flagships.

45% Asian At Hopkins is pretty dramatic.

Asians shouldn't be punished for being super smart, just like certain groups shouln't be punished for producing outstanding athletes.

Keeping all these Asians out, and stopping them from taking over the top universities, is not punishing them.

It’s promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

OK MAGA.

Asia has more than 50% of the world population. And Asians are not a monolith. They make for 50 countries of the world.

So, "WHITES" need to get their act together and start studying hard like other people and compete with Asians. There is no AFFIRMATIVE ACTION for Whites and Asians.

If Whites are the most priviledged race in America then they better make themselves capable enough to compete fairly.
Otherwise don't call Trump Taco for reinstating H1B

Is there any proof that Asians actually work harder than other races? They are more resourced than most races for sure.

And why are they more resourced? It is not as if they have benefited from being under colonial rule, is it? It is not as if they get benefit of affirmative action. Well, it has to do with their family structure and the love that their parents have for them. The family prioritizes education and will sacrifice for the education of their children. It is hard for everyone in the family but they endure. Copy that in your own family and you will be successful too. Need to learn to sacrifice for the education of your children.

The proof that they work harder than any other race in education? The proof my dear is in the pudding. Have you heard of the achievement gap? Or do you think that they are intellectually superior to other races?

This seems completely unnecessary in a country where you can live a quality upper middle class lifestyle without ever holding post at an elite institutions. The scarcity mindset of Asian parents clearly is a factor of being from an immigrant background.

* not every Asian country wants to move to US for quality of life.

(Something I always feel annoyed the assumption that all the Asian immigrants are from poorer or developing areas)

But that wasn't the assumption of the post. If your goal is the best education instead of upper middle class living, you just don't need to concern yourself with the t20. There's about 100 institutions that'll fit your educational needs, so what? Do asian Americans have some intrinsic understanding about higher ed that we all else lack?

No, the proof is in the fact that Asian immigrants are privileged. Because of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, highly educated and skilled Asians jump to the front of the line. How else do you explain that 51% of Chinese immigrants come to the United States with an undergraduate degree? Only four percent of people in China are similarly educated. Twenty-six percent of Vietnamese immigrants have a bachelor's degree; only five percent of those back home do. Only 36% of South Koreans have a college education; 56% of Korean immigrants do. Honestly, is it any surprise that educated people would have educated children?

And despite landing on third base in their native country, obviously they don't think hard work and love of scholarship would carry them to home plate. They came to the United States for that:

Like immigrants overall, a majority of Asian immigrants cite better opportunities and a better future for their children as reasons for moving to the U.S., with high shares of immigrants from East and Southeast Asia also citing having more rights or freedoms as a reason. Among Asian immigrants, at least three in four say better economic and job opportunities (86%), educational opportunities (79%), and a better future for their children (75%) are a reason they moved to the U.S. Smaller shares say they came to the U.S. to have more rights or freedoms (66%), to join or accompany family members (51%), or to escape violent or unsafe conditions (34%).

So, please stop with the model minority myth that centers East Asian Confucian emphasis on education as what differentiates Asian immigrants from people whose ancestors came here on slave ships -- especially because those people fought for increased immigration during the Civil Rights Movement.

I think “race war” is extreme. I think people are just going to move the goal posts. People are going to say the elite schools and the ivy’s don’t matter so their kids can still find their way into top jobs.

They will try but unless someone can make the argument that admission to the colleges are no longer a proxy for merit, this will not happen.

I don’t know why anyone had this belief to begin with. Originally admissions to top colleges was purely the merit of your parents’ income. Even in its prime “merit” phase; the top schools heavily discriminated against Jewish people. It’s never been about best of the best…ever.

If by originally, you mean the 1600s, then sure. Modern psychometrics didn't exist.
But by WWII we understood cognitive ability much better than before and knew how to test for it.
Ther testing resulted in a very high proportion of jewish men at Harvard so harvard instituted holistic admissions and colleges and universities have been using holistic admissions to discriminate in favor or against different groups in their admissions process ever since.

Do Americans actually want meritocracy? We say we do, but do we actually mean it?

Exactly. Do we really love the SAT, or do we only love it to the extent it seems to justify white supremacy? Because I suspect it’s the latter.

So they loved the SAT when it filtered out black applicants but stunned it down when it started following out white applicants?

If we went back to the SAT we had before dumbing down, colleges would be too Asian?

I am an Asian but I will be honest I despise grinding and dislike seeing robotic behaviors and thinking from any races. I don't think grinding hard is Asian only things, Asian are the biggest population in the
world so it gives that stereotype that Asians are all robots. No it is not.

Dude, nobody LIKES grinding. But repetition and practice is necessary to improve a skill.

While Asians don't have a monopoly on hard work, Asians on average study more hours than other groups. Much more. The average black student spend 36 minutes a day on homework, Hispanic students spend 50 minutes, white students spend 56 minutes, while Asian students spend 134 minutes a day... 2 hours and 14 minutes a day.... on homework. These are averages and they explain the differences in average academic performance.

Seriously? My Indian kid (I count as Asian) spent 10 minutes a day on homework until Calc BC. That was only because the teacher was awful. Kid was admitted to multiple HYPSM btw — mostly because of LORs.

Exactly nobody likes it, have you thought why there is a need to GRIND hard if you are truly intelligent? Is it true passion or parental push? Why do they all grind one thing only (math or anything that looks good on resume?)
Asian parents are known to be tiger parents. And that's the kind of trade off they pick without long term vision. Lot of grind or force to grind students - mentally lost or ill, burn out, go NC (no-contact) with their parents, some need therapy to compensate their lost childhood.
