Asian-Americans rejected by Harvard need to resist the anti-affirmative action narrative
Our community is being fed a story by a white man trying to preserve spaces at colleges for mediocre white students, not stellar Asian-American ones.
There is a story about race-based college admissions that holds particular sway over Asian-American students like I once was — my father wrote away for my Harvard application before I was out of diapers. It’s backed up by some cherry-picked data and a conservative activist group that wants to end all affirmative action, and it goes something like this: Because of colleges’ consideration of diversity, Asian-American students have to be even smarter than the average white student in order to qualify for admission to the most competitive American universities.
But the issue hiding in plain sight is not how the elite admissions system keeps Asians out; it is more about how it is largely rigged to keep white students — who are often staggeringly underqualified — in, by any means necessary.
There’s reason enough to be suspicious of the intentions of the people pushing our community to take on affirmative action: The man behind the pending lawsuit against Harvard University, for instance, is Edward Blum, who, as the Texas Tribune reported, is the strategist behind the Texas affirmative action case and "the man who recruited Abigail Fisher."
There’s reason enough to be suspicious of the intentions of the people pushing our community to take on affirmative action.
Fisher, you may recall, was the complainant in the recent Supreme Court case challenging affirmative action at the University of Texas; the Supreme Court quickly came to the conclusion that Fisher's grades and scores were simply too low for her to have qualified for admission — an unwittingly perfect illustration of how race-based admissions generate controversy, while white mediocrity goes accepted and unchallenged.
While it is right to press Harvard to end any practice of denying admission to otherwise qualified Asian students based on racial quotas — which Harvard denies exists — websites like Harvardnotfair.org feature a lone, pensive Asian person and ask, ominously, “Were You denied admission to Harvard? It may be because you’re the wrong race.”
But before aggrieved students rush to sign up, it is time to take a breath.
Though Harvardnotfair.org (or UNCnotfair.org or Uwnotfair.org) all prominently feature sad-looking Asian-Americans, these are all Blum projects in service of white supremacy and not Asian-American equality. Just click through to the fine print: “HarvardnotFair.org is an undertaking by the Project on Fair Representation (POFR). Founded in 2005, POFR is a program of Project Liberty, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) public charity. Our mission is to support litigation that challenges racial and ethnic classifications and preferences in state and federal courts.”

Think about that. He seems to be willing to use anything — including Asians — to dismantle affirmative action.
There’s one study most commonly cited in service of the idea of "the Asian penalty" in admissions. Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade ran a demographic study using applicant data from the 1980s to the 1990s and found that Asians needed on average 140 SAT points higher than whites to arrive at the same probabilities of acceptance to highly competitive private colleges.
There are plenty of commonly cited critiques of his study, which even Espenshade admits didn’t take into account many of the non-numerical factors considered in admissions. And a 2015 Justice Department investigation into Princeton’s admissions practices, for instance, found that many students with stellar and even flawless academic records were denied admission because the competitiveness of the applicant pool precluded the admission of every student who qualified on the numbers alone.
But even if admissions processes took numbers more strongly into account, reparative increases of Asian-American admissions would need to come from subtracting the spots from underqualified whites, not from supposed affirmative action candidates — and that is clearly not the purpose of Blum’s suits.
Even if admissions processes took numbers more strongly into account, reparative increases of Asian American admissions would need to come from subtracting the spots from underqualified whites, not from supposed affirmative action candidates.
And even were they the purpose of Blum’s suits, Espenshade’s studies suggests that, at the most competitive colleges, underqualified white candidates can still rely on a host of longstanding admissions processes that favor them (and not any students of color) regardless of SAT scores.
Espenshade, for instance, also found that recruited athletes had a fourfold advantage in admissions with lower mean test scores. To be sure, athletes in the broadest sense are diverse. However, Harvard, for example, actively recruits for swimming, fencing, lacrosse, soccer, squash, water polo, skiing, sailing and crew — sports that highly favor the wealthy and white.
And then there is the admissions loophole that favors the children of alumni and large donors: A legacy applicant to an elite college is more than seven times more likely to gain admission than an ordinary applicant. After generations of admissions policies that favored white people or outright excluded nonwhite people, this would necessarily disproportionately benefit white applicants.
In an interview, Michael Dannenberg, director of Education Reform Now, points out that these policies "don't reward merit. ... In fact, they undermine both and are fundamentally unfair."
When the goal of ending affirmative action is not specifically to better Asian American's change of admission — and it never is — but to dismantle race-based protections for others in favor of white students, we don’t benefit.
And, in California, there is evidence that banning affirmative action doesn’t affect white and Asian-American students in equal measure, despite some cherry-picked statistics to the contrary: Proposition 209 banned affirmative action at the state's schools starting in 1998. Seeming to confirm the idea of Asian-American merit, enrollment of Asians indeed increased at the most competitive California schools, like Berkeley.
However, OiYan Poon, an assistant professor of higher education at Loyola University, took a deeper dive into the data and found that the rate of increased admissions of Asian-Americans actually declined from 16 percent growth to 6 percent growth; the reported increase in overall enrollment was "likely due to significant demographic shifts in the state and a higher yield rate among admitted Asian-American applicants."
In other words, even as the population of Asian-Americans in California exploded, the increase in the rate of admissions didn’t keep pace. This suggests that when the goal of ending affirmative action is not specifically to better Asian-Americans' chance of admission — and it never is — but to dismantle race-based protections for others in favor of white students, we don’t benefit.
Asian Americans need to resist the fallacies being sold to us.
Asian-Americans need to resist the fallacies being sold to us; I know from personal experience how attractive they are, given that I, too, was disappointed by my rejection from Harvard despite being class valedictorian, captain of a varsity athletic team and having well-above-average SAT scores, among other accomplishments that I’d hoped would make me a shoo-in. I'd heard rumors that it was my SAT scores, compared to other Asian-American students, that kept me out — and maybe, despite Harvard’s current denials in court, it was. Harvard's deployment of possible (illegal) quotas needs to be dealt with, but not via false allies who exploit legitimate grievances to maintain white mediocrity at the expense of qualified blacks, Latinos, Native Americans and, yes, Asian-Americans.
The people claiming they want "colorblind" admissions aren’t likely to welcome mass numbers of Asian-American classmates with open arms.

Nearly a third of Harvard’s incoming Class of 2021 consists of legacy students. That’s right. If you pick out three Harvard undergraduates at random, chances are strong that one will be the progeny of a Harvard alum.
I don't know their stats, but legacy admissions is still rampant among the Ivies. I personally know at least 3 Harvard legacy admits (who didn't even get in EA and their dads made a call after they were rejected and donated some money and got them in).

completely made up.
if they know your parents have money they will WL you and then have the inevitable talk about what they can do to get you off the waitlist. some shit schools like cornell may also transfer option you where you will essentially be guaranteed transfer admission if you want it.
FYI I understand the going donation rate to get a reasonably bright but not qualified kid into H or Y is in the $700-1M range.

I’ll repeat the question cause you seem to be struggling: Can you see why saying "people who have the grades to get into H, but don’t, can always go to a school like Cornell" doesn't adequately address the issue of whether universities should be able to discriminate?
Hint: it might have something to do with the fact that you’re assuming that some good universities (Cornell) won’t discriminate like better universities (Harvard) in a world where universities can discriminate without federal oversight.
I know you’re gonna say: “but those schools already discriminate!” But the question at hand is whether schools should be able to accept whoever they want, i.e. discriminate in a manner contrary to federal law as it stands: should schools be able to impose actual quotas/deny admissions to a particular race no matter their credentials.

No I’m saying that the rule “colleges should be able to accept whoever they want without interference from the federal government” could easily lead to a world where universities accept 99% Asians, or 99% whites, or 99% legacies, or 99% any other criteria you can think of.
A degree from a respectable university is necessary for socioeconomic advancement. If we want to be a country where socioeconomic success is based on merit, we need to ensure that universities don’t “accept whoever they want” but rather base their admissions decisions on merit.
A world where admissions decisions are based on merit, HOWEVER DEFINED, is not compatible with a world where universities accept “whoever they want.” (all caps because I don’t trust your reading comp skills not to misinterpret this sentence)
Think about what I’m saying (and as importantly what I’m not saying). You’ll get there.
Edit: LOL at you thinking I’m Asian. My original post was disagreeing with the guy who said “universities should be able to accept whoever they want” as a point IN DEFENSE of AA. How tf does me disagreeing with the premise that universities should be able to accept whoever they want imply my being opposed to an admissions system that takes into account things other than gpa and standardized test scores?

1. colleges should be allowed to admit whoever they want to
2. it's probably one of the least expensive or disruptive programs out there to get blacks to stop acting like blacks.
3. there already are too many superstudy chinks at colleges and in general. everyone is sick of them and their chinky bullshit. all colleges, even kind of shitty ones, will look like bug colonies if admissions are reduced to pure numbers.

There's valid points about how legacy admissions are bullshit, but that only helps a tiny elite. Literally every person who can check the "african american" box gains from a massive boost.
I would be perfectly content to make a grand bargain whereby to retain non-profit status or be eligible for student loans or whatever racial discrimination was banned, in addition to legacy admissions. "Soft factors" could be considered, including poverty but not race (the kids of Chris Fucking Rock don't need an AA boost).
If there was a "disparate impact" (heh) and it sure seems that one ethnic group was getting a stealth AA boost either in admissions or AA, then it would be up to the university to prove their admissions practices were actually racially blind.
With the realities on the ground the "poverty" boost would disproportionately benefit latinos and blacks anyway. But it would also give poor white kids a shot and, again, not offer this massive windfall to well-off black kids.

AA is good for Jews.
The best thing to be in a crude category based system like this is a member of an over performing subgroup within a mediocre overall group.
Jews get lumped in with country bumpkin whites, and SAT standards for that group are lower, even though Jew SATs are similar to Asians.
Same thing with wealthy groups of South Americans claiming to be Latino.
Or Nigerian engineers getting lumped in with ghetto hood rats.
The worst is being some kind of low IQ group within a high IQ group: Vietnamese gangsters have to compete with violin virtuoso Cindy Changs, White trash and thuggish eyetalians are up against rich Jews and WASPs.

"Harvard's deployment of possible (illegal) quotas needs to be dealt with, but not via false allies who exploit legitimate grievances to maintain white mediocrity at the expense of qualified blacks, Latinos, Native Americans and, yes, Asian-Americans."
do libs really think there is some great pool of "qualified blacks, Latinos, Native Americans" who are getting cockblocked from harvard by white kids? that black kid with a 1540 (harvard's MEDIAN SAT score) got into all 20 schools where he applied - there is a full-blown FRENZY by universities whenever a black student gets anywhere near the usual admissions standards.
libs, do you realize that the following scenario NEVER happens: "Well, he has a 1500 SAT, but the polo team really needs Chadwick from Westchester with the 1350. Sorry, Jervontavious."

"These inequalities are especially concentrated at the tails of the score distribution; we estimate that at most only 1,000 blacks and 2,400 Latinos scored above a 750, compared to some 16,000 whites and 29,600 Asians."
~2% of 750+ SAT Math scorers are blacks, per this article.
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2017/02/01/race-gaps-in-sat-math-scores-are-as-big-as-ever/
And if you do the math on what % of the 130+ IQ population in the US is black, you end up around 1-2% there also.

"To be sure, athletes in the broadest sense are diverse."
That's an understatement. It also shows how shitty this piece is. "Some people claim that athletics allows in more African-Americans than otherwise. While this is technically true, it is actually false because not 100% of athletes are A-A."

Urm.
You anticipated rejection and preemptively rejected them.
Seems like you agree that the system is stacked against azns in favor of urm.

i wouldnt have attended an ivy even if i were accepted to one, at least for UG
it just so happens that self-hating asians gun for the ivies, specifically, so avoiding the ivies is how you avoid the worst of them. if NYU was an asian gunner school i wouldnt have applied to it either

LOL @ this BS about blacks getting 400 extra points on the SAT.
I WOULD HAVE HAD LIKE AN 1800+/1600, and I wasn't even among the most competitive blacks at my school.

I don't think a +X is really right.
I think a 1430 is high enough that it shouldn't really disqualify someone from consideration at the best schools.
The question that should really be asked is what is the probability someone with X on the SAT will get into a school like Yale. I'd assume for an African-American that number is pretty fucking high, whereas for a white or Asian it's almost impossibly low.
