<p>Hey guys check this out!! If you're white then you're in luck. If you're Asian then you're out of luck.</p>
<p>OMG my sister :(</p>
<p>This is a very unfair way to judge on admission. People should not take race in account to ANYTHING that just creates discrimination and racism.</p>
<p>Yes. Tomorrow. upper sproul. protest all asians @ berkeley~ all 2398432 asians come.</p>
<p>LOL ONLY 2398432 asians?! NOt even more like 9999999999999 swarm the place!</p>
<p>Hahah… “protest all Asians at berkeley”…</p>
<p>our people will blot out the sun tomorrow. you will not be able to fight in the shade. </p>
<p>i’m honestly a bit apathetic, though kinda shocked too. (My Eth Studs teacher sent us this a few days ago). While it’s not the right way to go about this diversity subject, this may just simmer down that damn stereotype about Berkeley being a place where all Asians go. It’s not a bad thing, but it is really irritating to hear stuff like that. I realize it’s unfair to ALL Asians though, because after all, we’re not all on the same boat in terms of wealth and opportunities. </p>
<p>And xcali, this is solely my opinion, but I definitely do not believe college admissions when they say race is not a factor in admissions (the same goes for wealth too). Of course, I’m not saying all colleges are lying about this, but I’ll say a good amount do so.</p>
<p>Ooops… hhaaha :|. i meant all asians, protest!! @ berkeley :P</p>
<p>What if I’m half asian half white?</p>
<p>good point… CALL THEM</p>
<p>yes. ill bring over the chinese military.</p>
<p>^It doesn’t really affect me since I already got accepted, but I was just curious. I think it’s a terrible thing to do, though.</p>
<p>And I thought stating your race was optional? But I guess they can sometimes tell by your last name.</p>
<p>yea… it doesn’t affect me… but affects my sister :O.</p>
<p>yea… last name pretty much gives everything away… 
lee, kim, chang, chung, liu, lai, lin, ma, you know… the usual haha.</p>
<p>My last name is totally white, but I’m also half Asian. Except I’m Filipino so my mom’s maiden name actually looks Spanish.</p>
<p>Ya, my uncle was pretty ****ed about this (asian family, both his kids went to Berkeley, I’m prolly going to Davis) and he went to testify at some hearing thing in Sacramento for this.</p>
<p>^
well it doesn’t apply until class of 2012 high school.</p>
<p>ROFLMAO. Lee. </p>
<p>I’m half Asian. Oh geez. >__<;; Good thing I’m mixed!!!</p>
<p>Yaya for interracials! ;P</p>
<p>In terms of being a student there, the fact that Cal was almost half asian was definetly a turn off. Not that I don’t like asians (in fact, many of my friends are asian) but I would rather have a lot more diversity in a potential school. </p>
<p>And guys, all schools are more likely to admit URMs, so shouldn’t it make sense to cut back on ORMS? If the goal is diversity in a school, then Cal’s efforts should be applauded. They have nothing personal against asians, but they just want to assemble a more-diverse student body, which for them means evening out the asian and white numbers (whites are a minority to asians at Cal). </p>
<p>If anything, you guys should be proud of your ethnicity that they have been able to be so succesful, even if that means coming under fire (as a Jew, that has pretty much been our entire history).</p>
<p>Geez, Asians get SCREWED everytime.</p>
<p>But at the same time, I realize that if you want “diversity,” you have to implement some sort of affirmative action. I’m not a fan of AA usually, but I think the Asians at Berkeley is seriously ridiculous. I’m Asian. It’s not that I don’t like Asians. But I would like to go to a school that reflects the general US population, not the population of an international school in China. The excess amount of Asians is the reason why I didn’t apply to Berkeley.</p>
<p>lol, my brother is a high school freshman right now.</p>
<p>this is so gonna mess with his admissions.</p>
<p>thank god, though, I got great SAT scores, and hopefully he will too.</p>
