'Woke' Ivey League School Targets Minorities And No One Cares?
The absolute smalled minority in the United States is the Asian community which makes it particularly egregious to single them out in the name of racism. Dail Signal busted Harvard for using an assessment developed to keep Jews out of the school, to now cut down their Asian student roster in the name of diversity...
"In the case of Harvard, race is not simply used as a tiebreaker in admissions. A 2013 internal Harvard study revealed by the lawsuit showed that had Harvard only considered academics, Asians would make up 43% of Harvard’s student body. Adding legacy, athlete recruitment, “extracurriculars,” and a “personal” score lowered Asians to 26%. Finally, in the years the internal Harvard study looked at, Asians actually made up only 19% of the student body.
Harvard’s discrimination is discrimination via character assassination. For Harvard to suppress the vast quantity of qualified Asians (who make up 50% of the top SAT scores in the nation) from its admissions books, it questions their character and minimizes their accomplishments.
Harvard’s admissions officers conveniently rate Asian Americans lowest in the “personal score,” having never met them, while similarly academically qualified black, Hispanic, and white students respectively score first, second, and third. What is the evidence Asians deserve this sort of treatment in the personality measurement?
The objective evidence points to none. Asian Americans get the highest alumni interview scores, the highest teacher recommendation scores, and the second-highest counselor scores out of all the racial groups. There is simply no objective basis for Harvard’s attack on Asian American “personalities.”
I think 'diversity' has quickly become the new name for Jim Crow in America. Schools, Politicians, and companies are using 'diversity' to eliminate qualified candidates from succeeding, and for what? To seem more 'woke'? Does it really matter the color of your brain surgeon's skin? Wouldn't you be more comfortable if qualifications were placed ahead of color?
I don't see this leading us down a productive path. If anything, it seems reckless, ignorant, and dangerous. What do you think? Let me know.
