I can only wonder if in a few years some company will have an unspoken rule about scoring candidates, thanks to all the affirmative action and "holistic admissions". With these policies, an Asian male has to be extremely talented to land a spot at a good state school/ivy.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoI'm an extremely unimpressive Asian male and I got into my state's flagship, which is considered a public ivy according to the 1985 list [0]. If going to a state school is beneath these people (and therefore, even associating with people like me is beneath them) then perhaps I'm perfectly fine with them feeling a tiny bit of discomfort.

- golemiprague 5y agoWe already do those calculations in our heads. We know that many Asians got admitted because they worked very hard, not necessarily because they are very smart or because of good social intelligence. I am sure this affects the way they are perceived in the workforce, the same way people assume things about blacks or women. Usually those assumptions has some basis in reality and as much as you want you can't really control what people think deep down inside, even Stalin couldn't really change it and he used much stricter measurements.
