A recent study of the applicants to seven elite colleges in 1997 found that Asian students were much more likely to be rejected than seemingly similar students of other races. Also, athletes and students from top high schools had admissions edges, as did low-income African-Americans and Hispanics.
Translating the advantages into SAT scores, study author Thomas Espenshade, a Princeton sociologist, calculated that African-Americans who achieved 1150 scores on the two original SAT tests had the same chances of getting accepted to top private colleges in 1997 as whites who scored 1460s and Asians who scored perfect 1600s...

I would think that a PRIVATE college could choose whom they will and will not accept...for whatever reason.
It’s called Asian Fail.
I lived in a Big 10 town, a relatively small one as they go. Your description sounds identical the the entire campus on Saturday game-days.
While the Asian students were busily scurrying back & forth from lab, engineering buildings, library etc. One of my brand couldn't help noticing & thinking: "Hmmmmmm".
BWWWWWWHAAAAAAAAA!!!
Here they're worried about H1V1 when there're sure signs of The Big PX Syndrome all over the place. LOL
{Of course you meant, "shoes". ~eh? LOL}
Holy cow—they’re not going to give themselves a 450-point SAT advantage by taking a prep class!
And black kids would relatively say the same thing about white kids.
Within the safe racial group, the brighter kids have more intellectual interests, on average, than the less-bright ones.
LOL!!!!!!
Well *you* may call the situation, "ironic", my friend, we Yanks call it equality. But I can appreciate your, ahhhhh, confusion. Because obviously you're confused. LOL!!!!!!
Think all that's nuts?
Just wait'll you SEE what passes for "diversity". LOL!!
You would make a sharp editor, that ‘shows’ vs ‘shoes’ typo went right past me, lol
SOOO in accordance with the topic of this thread, time for an MKJ politically incorrect joke (repeated for chuckles, not to make fun of anyone) going back a good 50 years:
Q - Why don’t they have telephones in China?
A - Because of Mr. Wong. Everyone is always “winging the wong number”
(groan) ;)

BWWWWHAAAAAA!!!
{{{{applause}}} Stand up Joe, take a bow!! LOL!!
Comedian, more joke box material here!
You got serious competition as it seems the ol' tome's really true: Everyone does want to get into the act. LOL!!
And for my next act...
Classified personal ad in Beijing newspaper:
“WANTED - 1000 lb Chinese cook, looking for 1000 lb Chinese waitress. Object: ‘Won Ton Soup’.
[cymbal crash] lol
Hey, thanks folks (budda boom budda bing), I’ll be here all week, try the veal!
"Hey, thanks folks (budda boom budda bing), Ill be here all week, try the veal!"
Not if ya seen how they're treated!! LOL
Trying --desperately-- to get to the other thread --the potential "Dead Thread" we'll be trapped in until the end of time LOL-- to respond to your other pings!! Can't.
Is this what hell's like? LOL!!

That did it..........where’s my cane??
They can’t be serious can they?The private schools I know of go out of their way to recruit and develope Asian students.The number of Asians of all nationalities has gone up at some of the private universities in Connecticut.
That’s why I said Asians don’t “seem” to be quite as social. I really don’t know. I agree that the Asians are miles ahead of most American kids as far as making the grades by doing the work required. They seem to have more of a sense of duty as far as studying is concerned than the average white guy/girl. Of course there are exceptions to every situation.
Nobody gets it worse than a mediocre Asian student. An Asian student with scores and grades that would get a white kid into MIT doesn't have a chance in hell of getting admitted.
OK. Politically incorrect joke competition, eh?
I can do that.
(cracks knuckles)
(deep breath)
Q. How can you get AIDS from a toilet seat?
A. By sitting down before the last guy gets up.
(rim shot)
Mercy!!
As long as he doesn't look for validation from the banal, he'll be OK. LOL
