<p>We have a harder time getting in because we are just too good compared to the other races on average. :)</p>
<p>@3lite- i think many people today favor affirmative action based on social/ economic background over race so i agree with you.</p>
<p>to OP, yeah- you have a “very real problem”? really? i mean, i think every asian is facing the same problem but you don’t see the majority of them running around complaining- why? because there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. basically, you’re just looking for proof of something that you know exists. what is the point? i think you should just chill out, send in the apps and let it whole thing go its course.</p>

<p>I would say that only Jews could even attempt to make this silly claim, although I wouldn’t say it is a race. There are fewer Jews on this entire planet than the metropolitan population of Shanghai.</p>
<p>California’s Prop 209 (I think) bars UC schools from discriminating based on race (not just affirmative action, which completely ignores Asians). </p>
<p>As a result, Asians in the UC school system represent 20-30% of the population, as opposed to much lower percentages elsewhere.</p>
<p>Just goes to show that if quotas weren’t placed on Asian applicants, the number of qualified students getting in would rise. Yay Cali?</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s not that they’re racist, it’s that they want to limit the numbers of students thay accept from certain races.</p>

Actually, some do. There are some statistics for African-Americans, I’m sure there may be some for other groups as well.

<p>just simply don’t report you race! :P</p>
