What Harvard is trying to do is admit the people who will be national and global leaders 30 years from now, not the people who will get the best grades at Harvard. Since the country’s future leaders won’t be 60% Asian it doesn’t make sense for their class to be either.
- poster123 8y agoI don't think we should prejudge what the racial makeup of the country's future leadership should be and then use de facto racial quotas to match those assumptions.
- ggg9990 8y agoI don’t think there should be racial quotas, de facto or otherwise, but if Harvard decided to only admit tall men with “upper management written all over them” that wouldn’t be irrational.
- linuxkerneldev 8y ago> the country’s future leaders won’t be 60% Asian huh? what? what scientific reason do you have for believing such a thing?
- ggg9990 8y agoIt’s not a scientific reason, it’s historical reasons. Look at the history of the US. 30 years from now it isn’t going to be a country run by its 5% Asian population.
