There's the idea/suspicion that these universities are using a sort of "quota" system for racial groups since their racial ratios seem to remain largely constant while certain groups tend to score higher on average on the SATs etc. So Asians, being both statistically more likely to have a high IQ along with having a severe worth ethic in their culture tend to do very well in terms of academic institutions. So compared to the racial ratios of the general population, Asians are actually "overrepresented" in these institutions. But if it were a strict meritocracy, then their representation would be presumably even higher than it is. Meaning some highly qualified Asians (in some cases more qualified than some of their non-Asian peers who were accepted) are not let in because the ratio of Asians is considered to already be "high enough."
No one has responded to you, disagreeing with you, and I prefer to not summarize like you have (I prefer not to summarize and to actually directly use the 13 points). But if no one disagrees with you...
It's clear that people disagree with me. lol. The previous page or so would support that.
I summarized because I had already stated that being well off has its advantages, so there was really no point to push it again. It also stated that there were programs in place to help poorer families which I also stated, so I didn't want to push it again. Is there a specific point you found that you wanted to talk about?
My point has been that the best should get the nod regardless of status. I don't think it's right to give people a spot just because they are a minority, poor, or both.
I would strongly prefer America invest in fixing it's education system so that all people get better access to education rather than penalizing just for the sake of diversity.
Anyways, in other news: affirmative action needs to go, immediately.

Make education more affordable, and you may not need affirmative action. Roll like Germany and allocate our tax money into education so that tuition is extremely low, or free.
most things that make him chronically angry have zero impact on his life. hollywood, religions, job market, income tax, women, etc.

Yeah, I agree with you Bash, so MANY things a normal person takes for granted, good and ill, are and will always be absent from his barren, lonely existence. Poor-poor Surt. Oh, I just remembered I'm talking about Surtur My bad

Yeah, I tried to explain that there are options available, but people thought I was just downing on poor people like I was never poor myself or anything. lol
that system has worked so well, why change it? poor people don't deserve any other avenue to success besides military service. don't like it? sorry kid. momma shoulda planned ahead!

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
If your parents don't help plan for college then yeah, it is shame on the parents. Unless of course you believe those parents are just to simple to understand planning for the future.
It's not the solution but it is a viable solution and joining the military doesn't mean you tote a gun and fight in the trnches.
