To add on, did anyone else find it strange that the demographics of the interviewees counters the main point of the entire article? Most of them are alumni of elite universities; shouldn’t we be introduced to those who rebelled against the Asian narrative?
I’m not sure if this is just standard of Asian American coverage. See this article from the NYTimes recently on affirmative action: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/28/magazine/affirmative-action-asian-american-harvard.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/28/magazine/affirmative-acti.... Most of the interviewees again went to elite universities, even though affirmative action affects more than just elite privates.
