For Asian-Americans, a changing landscape on college admissions

“I have asked repeatedly if anyone believes that asians are genetically superior to blacks or hispanics. No one has said yes. If the answer is no what are we doing to help blacks and hispanics to get into elite colleges for which they are genetically qualified.”


No one race is genetically superior. I think a few people have made that quite clear. I don’t really think genetics should play a card in any of this. This thread is about Asian Americans possibly having a messed up deck of cards because of the stereotype of their parents pushing them to do things they don’t want to do (violin, prep classes, STEM fields etc)

The elites look to see if a person is academically and characteristically qualified. By characteristic, I mean actual character not physical characteristic. Is this the type of person who can contribute to their campus? No college wants a robot with stats and the reason that Asians could be possibly discriminated against is because the stereotype still rules that their parents are trying to create robots with stats so their kids can get to Harvard (Yale isn’t good enough).

No other race imo has this stereotype. When you think of a white kid, what career goals and EC’s first come to your mind? When you think of any other race besides Asian, what career goals and EC’s come to mind?

@Hunt‌ No Amish kid would go to Harvard. Firstly, because of the highly liberal environment there. Secondly, because most Amish kids go to work in the family business or mission work.
