<p>siglio your points are extremely ignorant. So basically you are saying what holds back other groups is that they whine about being discriminated against? </p>
<p>You need to do some serious reading my friend.</p>
<p>^heck no…what i’m saying is that asians don’t care about discrimination when they should, which ironically allows them to assimilate better…it doesn’t create a big advantage (and shouldn’t), but it is a factor</p>
<p>I don’t understand why it’s such a big deal. I mean, good lord, what’s wrong if there is a 45 percent population of Asians at California schools. It’s a bit refreshing, because in high school out of 140 kids I was the only Asian kid (South Asian; there were no East Asians). I didn’t complain constantly about how there was such a large population of Whites. I mean, these are just the first schools in the country where the number of minorities equals the number of whites.</p>
<p>^ the US cares about demographics, simple as that, for ANYTHING US RELATED, what race or ethnic background u come from is important… don’t really know why, it leaves room for segregation and such</p>
<p>dude, You got to Mexico there isn’t a place u have to put your ethnicity ANYWHERE ON ANYTHING (and mexico has chinese people, jewish people, white people from europe-descendant, mixed people, brown people, black people, etc.)</p>
<p>You go to Chile</p>
<p>same thing, no forms ever say “Please state your ethnicity-even if it’s for statistical purposes” <----*** does that mean? am I just a stat?</p>
<p>F that!</p>
<p>But yeah, the USA is the only place I’ve ever been where most forms require to state what ethnicity you are… I’m cool and I always bubble Hispanic/latino, Spanisn, Asian/pacific islander and “other” and write in Jewish</p>

<p>There’s plenty of people of Asian descent who post on the UCSB forum concerned about the large amount of white students at the school, so people do care.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not really true.</p>
<p>The biggest groups of HKers went to Vancouver and Australia.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Otoh, Jewish students aren’t.</p>
<p>hmom, it’s called hard work. You sow what you reap. That’s the way it should be.</p>
<p>siglio, please do not spread falsehood by claiming that Asians do not care about discrimination. That’s just counter human nature.</p>
<p>I think at most if not all UC’s( top UC’s) Asians are the dominant race. Some of the Asians I know at my school would like to attend the UC’s due to a larger feel of the type of atmosphere they may looking for.</p>
