Harvard accused of bias against Asian-Americans | Fox News
may 16 2015
A complaint Friday alleged that Harvard University discriminates against Asian-American applicants by setting a higher bar for admissions than that faced by other groups.
The complaint, filed by a coalition of 64 organizations, says the university has set quotas to keep the numbers of Asian-American students significantly lower than the quality of their applications merits. It cites third-party academic research on the SAT exam showing that Asian-Americans have to score on average about 140 points higher than white students, 270 points higher than Hispanic students and 450 points higher than African-American students to equal their chances of gaining admission to Harvard. The exam is scored on a 2400-point scale.
The complaint was filed with the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights.
“Many studies have indicated that Harvard University has been engaged in systemic and continuous discrimination against Asian-Americans during its very subjective ‘Holistic’ college admissions process,” the complaint alleges.
Affirmative action not only persecutes white males but also asians. It is a hate crime and why do we let it continue?

Welcome to higher education in the US. Whites and Asians are at a disadvantage, all other minorities usually have lower standards, have a positive factor due to their race when weighing admission decisions and oftentimes get free money in the form of race-based scholarships.
It's absolutely racial discrimination, but this isn't anything new. It's not just Harvard, it's pretty much anywhere.

And that's why there's a disproportionately high percentage of black people in college.

Went right over YOUR.... yeah well that's stupid.
I'll just explain; That a certain minority makes a smaller percentage in higher education institutions does not neglect the fact that setting lower standards for members of this minority is discrimination and is wrong.
I think a black person with the same GPA as you worked harder, on average. :shrug:

How so? Based on what?
Why? Do blacks have different brains than whites?

My mistake. I thought i was addressing an adult.
Good point, but look at it from the other side. Lotsa dough buys good enough grades to get into the IVY's inner sanctums too.
