Crazy amount of people with power who are not shy at all expressing their Intentional hate and discrimination specifically targeting Asian talents who qualifies.

This is Stupid. I’m an Asian if I know that I can’t get into Harvard then I’m not going to apply there! There’s plenty of instate colleges that aren’t expensive! The reason you are not getting in bc you are not working hard period! Don’t use race as a gateway!

what’s disturbing about this is how it’s pitting Asians against Blacks who are both over represented and underrepresented respectively at these PWI and legacy schools.
In most IVY league schools, there’s an over representation of White students as a percentage of the country’s population… The Black and Brown population is < 5% in most instances.. the Asian population is also over represented as related to their population.. yet the fight was over the low hanging fruit.. the under represented Black and Brown populations that will see the biggest impact of this decision. In the end, they will be affected most and the Whites will be affected the least.. in essence the Asians were used to do the work of some White people to reduce Black and Brown populations at their institutions… it’s very chess like

Watch Thomas Sowell – 93 year old former Communist black American who grew up in Harlem and Harvard alum explain why it will be a huge benefit to many black students who have been let in to Harvard but don't have the test scores and are not used to the rigor and end up dropping out and will now instead go to other excellent schools where they will excel and be successful. SMH. Or Amala Ekpunobi talk about how she now worries being a former leftist that she didn't really earn her way to where she is and lacks confidence because of it.

getting rid of standardized testing thats a good one. So the quality of student body lowers and in the end the bridges collapses and doctor is just not understanding your disease but at least we have a super diverse student body..awesome XD

This group "students for Fair Admission" is lead by a white dude that clearly has mommy and daddy issues and is seeking validation in a very messed up way. Pay attention to this person and just watch him as his emotional issues begin to materialize. Classic boarderline personality disoder.
