Are you suggesting that Asians should be kept at the equivalent ratio of their population, ie. 20%?

  No. I am suggesting that Asra's suggestion that any policy change that reduces the south and east asian demographics at TJ can be considered a "purge" is ridiculous.

    Targeting and cutting 25% of a single race is a purge. More will get cut next year and the years to come.

      > Targeting and cutting 25% of a single race is a purge. Targeting? The change proposed by activists (and opposed by the author of this piece) was to introduce a lottery admissions process that involved all students who met a certain minimum threshold of GPA and accelerated math enrollment. That is the polar opposite of "targeting". I am curious what a policy change you wouldn't consider to be "targeting" looks like. > More will get cut next year and the years to come. How? The policy is the same for next year.

        This is exactly what targeting is. Arbitrary GPA thresholds with low ceilings to achieve desired ratios. You can bet there is some rigging in the background for "special" families. Racism is only acceptable against asians, no one dare point out the extreme overrepresentation of the most privileged and hateful minority creating a lot of these policies.

        Yes, targeted. Asians were the only demographic that dropped precipitously. Even White enrollment went up. So it was specifically targeted against Asians because it was “too high”.
