Beyphy. You are too dismissive on this issue. 1. I’d like to know what % of 2400s are Asian before you just dismissively move on. 2. “Random and tailored” is ironic and an oxymoron. How can something be random and hand tailored? Just shows how much bullshit you are spewing. 3. NO. SAT and high grades aren’t just “a game.” Most people work hard and take hard classes to get them. If it was like a video game then white people would just beat Asian people or be on par and we wouldn’t be talking about this. 4. The richer or poorer argument is completely irrelevant because the Berkeley nulls the argument anyway. 5. Your nationalism argument is complete bullshit. Why should supposedly liberal schools hide behind the term “holistic admissions” instead of just admitting they are racist to Asians? Do white people only like promoting progressiveness when it’s transparent or gains a lot of public perception? All questions of privilege are countered with white people having a SUBSTANTIALLY easier time than Asians with exactly the same shit. Asians aren’t just good at school and grades (a stereotype you are perpetuating). Most of them applying to these ivies are pretty well integrated into society and are extremely aware of this prejudice and try to overcompensate with plenty of extracurricular shit. Besides, ask any Asian if they would rather be white and have good grades or Asian and have good grades. Something so completely out of their control and you’re still hating. At the end of the day, most Asians, regardless if South/East Asian or on a random poor fucking island, don’t want to be ghost-discriminated upon, and all had parents that were 1st or 2nd generation. The least we ask for is transparency. I’m sick of people patronizing the shit out of us. If we are better than you in every conceivable way besides skin color, don’t throw me a lazy stereotype infested response. The least we deserve is to be judged the same as white people. Why CAN’T Asians be just like whites in institutions that are supposedly “Not-racist.” #Murica
