How many Asians are here??

Asians are just asking for clear rules, transparency, and fairness.
There have been multiple SAT cheating scandals in Asian countries as people try to manipulate their chances to attend US colleges, not to mention birth tourism to California to boost chances for UC Berkeley, etc. I don't think you can clear any ethnicity.

You should look at all the genocides in Israel, not to mention Ukraine, etc.

Selective college admissions = racist admission policies. Would love to see the average test scores/gpas for admitted students by race.
We have it at least relative to Whites.
14.9% higher
Does anyone know if Israeli origin is considered white or Asian here?
Israelis and everyone else in the Middle East (Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Jordan, Yemen...) is considered white by the U.S. Egyptians are also part of this Arab / Middle Eastern area and are also considered white.

Don't say Asian, say China. That's where this happens at a scale to make a difference. No one from Singapore is traveling to California to birth a child..
Rich Chinese in China = Rich Whites in the US

Asians: 29.9

US racial demographics- tried to find current data and found this for 18-24 y/o as of 2021: https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/11207-young-adult-population-ages-18-to-24-by-race-and-ethnicity#detailed/1/any/false/2048/68,69,67,12,70,66,71,7983/21595,21596

Black: 14%
Latino: 23%
Native American: 1%
Hawaiian: .5%
White: 53%
Interesting. Technically speaking, whites are visibly underrepresented, as are Latinos, if the goal is to have Harvard's student body mirror national demographics. We could add an overlay of faith but that gets tricker so let's leave it aside for now. We all know Harvard doesn't admit on merit, so it's not really clear what they're looking for in the ideal student body as they also don't have proportional racial demographic mix either.
The more relevant denominator is not the US as a whole, but the racial/ethnic proportions of their applicant pool.
I bet that Asians are hugely over-represented there.

Those are International students.
Yes, US system should protect US students from those international fraud as well.
US system has too many holes and flaws

They most likely didn't put Asian.
I would pur 'Other' if I was a Jew.
