I agree with you that to completely remove yourself from discrimination, just change your name. If your kids are born here, give them American names. There’s no way anyone can tell my kids are Asian from their name. It always bug the hell out of me when they say they need more minorities at the Universities. Somehow, to those people, Asian are not considered as minority.[/quote]
Bottom line is the college admission guideline being practiced for some time now has been strictly racist against Asians. It is pure unadulterated racism coming from the left.
Jews, who are Caucasian, do not get discriminated against. They are less than 2% of the general population. Yet they are 25% of the Harvard population, and their numbers approach 30% in some Ivy League colleges. Does the fact that they are over-represented by over 12 times their weight in population cause Harvard to enforce significantly higher SAT and grade standards? Of course not, because they are still WHITE.
But to protect against the yellow peril, Harvard set quotas against Asian applicants and limit the Asian population in the teens (similar to the 20% population in UC campuses before the racist policy of “affirmative action was lifted in the UC system). In fact, for some reason, ALL Ivy League schools ALL seem to be able to find just about 15% of Asians worthy of admission year after year.
This is why Asian teenagers are now taught they need to hide their race when applying to Ivy League schools. Do Jewish students, 12 times over-represented, need to hide their Jewishness? No. If a group is forced to hide their identity to get equal treatment, that is racism, period.
