Whenever someone underplays the systematic racial bias top universities have against Asian students, imagine the reverse scenario.
If the table turns and suddenly some other racial groups, be it aboriginals, blacks, hispanics etc, are targeted with the same racial bias, would these people still doubt that there is racial bias citing reasons like this?
- bilbo0s 15y agoI tend to agree. Given the number of Asians applying to these universities, you have to wonder how non Jewish whites, blacks, and Latinos are gaining admission to these schools at all? There HAS to be something going on to give them a leg up.
- wickedchicken 15y agoFor your situation to exist, those groups would have to have dramatically higher SAT scores and a societal status to have the leisure of many extracurriculars. Which is the exact fucking thing we're trying to achieve. I'm not trying to say that there isn't discrimination going on, just that a more reliable indicator would be comparing the ratios inside top universities versus the real world. I don't have those numbers, but trying to play games with test scores can too easily be done incorrectly.
