This is why diversity choices should be based on income only.

I agree....race based AA is a joke. I know so many children that checked the Hispanic box but identify as white and don’t know a thing about that (small) portion of their cultural history.

If you look at just domestic students alone, Asians represent 24% of Harvard's student group (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/us/affirmative-action.html) and average about 22% at all 8 Ivies. The domestic Asian percent is 5.6%. That means Asians are highly over-represented at the Ivies- by a factor of 4 times. Am I missing something?

Yes, you are missing something. The point is not about how Asians are over represented. The point is that Asians have to out score every group, and by A LOT in some cases, to get in. Yea yea I know about holistic approach, but IMO, "holistic" is just euphamis for affirmative action.

If a black student gets in even though he scored 500 points lower than the white or asian guy, but he has something else unique about him that the school wants, isn't that "holistic" approach?

Similarly, if a white student scoress 200 points lower than the Asian guy, but has something unique about him, then they will take the white guy over the asian guy.

Universities don't want 90% of the same types of Asian students, or white students, in their student body. I get that. But like I said, if you are against affirmative action, then you should also be against holistic approach.

Racist much?

Who decided the West needs to be invaded by foreigners at every level? They didn't build any of this. Millions of bright multi-gen Americans to fill those seats.

Overall vs. Black Acceptance Rate:

Emory- 25.2% vs 25.9%
Cornell- 14.1% vs 17.6%
UChicago- 7.9% vs 8.3%
Johns Hopkins- 11.9% vs 15.6%
USC- 16.6% vs 14.9%
Rice- 15.3% vs 16.7%
Pomona- 9.4% vs 16%
Wesleyan- 17% vs 12.9%
Davidson- 20.1% vs 13%
Colgate- 28.5% vs 16%
Vassar- 26.9% vs 26.8%
Barnard- 16.7% vs 14.1%

The gaps are not huge and often even lower (especially at LACs)

How is admit rat relevant to anything? Show me the stats of the admitted students.....that would be very revealing.

+1

I really hope PP is being sarcastic and is not actually that stupid.

The true diversity is not skin. It is ideas. Current society's sickening rules kill off anyone who does not fall in line.

Anonymous wrote:? The Asian percent at Harvard is around or over 25% if you factor in mixed-race and international Asians as well. That is a huge chunk. At some of the more STEM oriented schools- MIT, Caltech, Rice, Harvey Mudd- the Asian population is larger than the Caucasian population.
