What do you attribute racism in the Asian community to? Is it because your race feels superior to blacks or is it because you feel an obligation to deal with your own race in an effort to better the economic conditions of your community?
Being the intellectual snob that you are I thought you might enjoy reading about grade inflation at Ivy League schools.
“Evidence of grade inflation at Ivy League schools:
In 1966, 22% of Harvard undergraduate students earned A’s. By 1996, that figure rose to 46%. That same year, 82% of Harvard seniors graduated with honors.
In 1973, 31% of all grades at Princeton were A’s. By 1997 that rose to 43%. In 1997, only 12% of all grades given at Princeton were below the B range.”
“An investigation by The Boston Globe last month found Harvard also has an unprecedented large number of honours ‘graduates compared to other elite universities. In what the newspaper called “Harvard’s dirty little secret,@ it found 91% of students graduated with honours, compared with 51 % at Yale University, 44% at Princeton University, 40% at Dartmouth College and 25% at Columbia University.”
How much is an A worth now at Harvard when 50% receive them?? While I admire the Asian intellect and work ethic I doubt many of your friends would have made the same grades had they gone through when Bush did.
I would rather deal with someone who made a C in the early 60’s while having a real life at Harvard then someone who got an A studying 12-14 hours a day the way grades were given out when they were there. 91% honors??
Its no small wonder why Lawyers and Researchers vote Democratic. Lawyers get to sue more and Researchers get money with no accountablity relative to results.
