Harvard, my alma mater, discriminates against Asians in admissions. Asians are less likely to be admitted at any GPA or SAT score than members of other races — they are vastly less likely to be admitted than blacks or Hispanics, the beneficiaries of racial preferences, and somewhat less likely to be admitted than whites.
Although the statistical evidence is overwhelming, the Harvard Crimson claims there is “no definitive proof.” It speculates that that Asians are being rejected because they are grinds, not because of their race, and that that explains why Asians are less likely to be admitted than members of other races at any given level of academic achievement. People concerned about discrimination against Asians, it claims, must first take into account Asians’ possibly lesser “community involvement, leadership capabililities, [and] distinction in extracurricular activities.”
This is no basis for this speculation. The current crop of Asian high school students participate in extracurricular activies at least as much, on average, as students of any other race.
I don’t really know how to respond to this baseless downplaying of Harvard’s discriminatory and Orwellian “diversity” policy, which punishes Asians because they have the temerity to succeed in school.
My 3-year-old nephew is part Korean. Should we try to hide his ethnicity when he applies for college? Given the shape of his eyes, that may not be possible. It is a disgrace that his racial identifiability may expose this little boy to prejudice by both reactionary bigots and politically-correct college admissions staff.
We previously discussed the ridiculously racist theory of some “diversity” trainers that members of different races have inherently different ways of thinking, such as in our Supreme Court amicus brief in the Seattle case.

You’re right about Asians being discriminated against. It happens in the University of California system,too. And the main reason is that Asians have the audacity to excel. That’s not just a stereotype. Asian students are better prepared, work as hard or harder as others, and have a greater sense of individual responsibility.
And that’s their main fault. If Asian students would start some kind of movement, or claim to be victims, or demand compensation, then maybe they could shake things up. As it is now they foolishly cling to their ideas about how hard work will bring success and their silly notions of working for the greater good of society.
Until Asians learn more about being self-centered, and claiming their benefits from the system, and band together to get the White Man’s foot off their neck then Asians are just going to continue to…..
Oh enough with my irony and sarcasm. You get the point.
Welcome to the white man's world where success is punished and mediocrity is rewarded.
The sword is double-edged you know.
Affirmative Action is a Cancer! Equality is a lie. Guaranteed outcomes are the norm.
If your a successful white or asian male, your screwed.
