You have foolishly bought into the conservative narrative that progressives are the problem. URMs are not the problem.

Can you explain why it is that Asian applicants need higher scores in order to get into top colleges? The right has a plausible explanation that was born out by the Harvard case, what is your alternative explanation?

Holistic admissions. Test scores are not the be all/end all that folks think they are.

So we're pretending that the Harvard personality scores that were shown to be lower across the board for asians are just causal racism and not a way to dock asian applicants in order to boost diversity? Or do you believe that Asian kids really do have inferior personalities?

This is a false premise. There is no diversity gain from decreasing the number of Asians students when it is primarily white students who are losing ground in admissions.

Admissions is zero sum. If it weren't for the personality scores, the Harvard student body would be far more Asian American

Only if test scores were the only admission criteria. Clearly, that is not the case. It's really hard for some people to accept that their excellent test scores can only get them so far. So is life.

Of course not, you have the personality score to insert racist biases. It's more necessary than ever now that Asian American students are realizing that ECs matter.

All that racism but Asian students make up approximately 30% of Harvard's student population. Oh the humanity and entitlement!

Amazing !

Is it entitlement to want to be judged by the transcripts rather than by the color of the skin?

Your mission is to first prove that you are being judged by the color of your skin.

How do you account for the findings where Harvard admissions would give a low personality score for Asian Am. students whom they never met even as the interviewers, who did meet the student, gave them high scores for personality?

My white kid is one of 12 kids in the advanced math track at her very intense private school. 10 of 12 are Asian. The kids in this track routinely text about math homework problems all Friday and Saturday evenings. All evening long.
There are only so many hours in the week and everyone gets the same number. If you are working on math and other homework every weekend night, you aren't socializing in the same way that other high school kids do who are hanging out with friends and other kids every Friday and Saturday night. These kids are spending 4 years honing their social skills instead of maximizing their academic knowledge.
This is super generalization but there is something to it. My kid is seeing it play out.

#1 you just outed yourself but everyone probably knows you're a dick anyway. #2 this is so racist.

Seriously, the anti-Asian sentiments on DCUM are horrifying.
