“• Asian Americans voted for Barack Obama by a 3 to 1 margin, with a majority registered as Democrats. “
Well yea, if you saw the Democratic outreach to them, you’d understand why. As far as values go, it’s not even close, Asians have much more in common with conservatives. The only problem is that Republicans still don’t understand that they they can be a VERY helpful minority...much like the Jews finance Democrats and help them win close races, by voting as a block.
Exactly. You can't discriminate in favor of someone without simultaneously discriminating against someone.
I’ve known a few white kids with perfect (in those days) 1600 SAT scores who were rejected by various Ivies. It’s not that unusual at the top schools (i.e., Harvard, Princeton, Yale). From the same group of students, Harvard DID accept the student with the lowest SAT, who happened also to be a nationally ranked athlete. Go figure.
As to the group/in-class cheating by Asian students, it seemed endemic among the group I knew to the point that I think their culture and ours clash about what constitutes cheating. Cribbing another student’s notes or lifting from another’s paper is not, to their thinking, cheating.
“• Asian Americans voted for Barack Obama by a 3 to 1 margin, with a majority registered as Democrats.”
So much for the vaunted Asian American IQ ‘advantage’.
“much like the Jews finance Democrats and help them win close races, by voting as a block.”
Jews are also disproportionately government trough feeders, so voting Democrapic is voting for their cash flow continuation.
“I’ll never forget him telling me a bunch of new Chinese students went bowling and they thought they bought the rented shows for 75 cents.”
And for a dollar, you get egg roll!
“UCLA stands for University of Caucasians Lost among Asians.”
LMAO!!

Same with those transplants from India.
I can believe that. They have their own little town ;-)
Yes. And they continue to do so afterwards in college. That is how they acquire solid knowledge. Asians are frequent attendees of not only test-preparation courses but also professors' office hours.
In sum, they do well what a student is supposed to do to acquire knowledge.
It's like me coming to your office at 10a.m and, having observed you being busy, declaring that you don't know how to have fun.
You'd reply that my remark is silly: you do what you HAVE to do to bring home the bacon.
Asian kids are quite social. Their sense of duty prevents them from having fun and socializing at all times, just as your work ours do.
We encourage sports and recreation. Do you see no connection with the fact that our education is a joke when compared with most developed countries?
Why did they choose just 1997 for the recent study?
Which correlates very well with the fact that Hong Kong is culturally very Westernized.
Neither Jews nor Hispanics nor Asians vote as a block. Blocks exist in the minds (and on the graphs) of the political analysts of elections.
And what does this have to do with their attitude towards education, the topic being discussed?
Do Elite Private Colleges Discriminate Against Asian Students?
Not if they want to have a Math Team. Seriously though, if I ran a college, I would discriminate FOR Asian students.
The topic being discussed is not a group's attitude towards education.
The topic at hand is discrimination towards a particular group. I merely pointed out that my ability to give a rat's ass about the group being oppressed is quite low, given that group's support of their oppressors.
Unfortunately, the legacy of the Republican party is one of blue-blood, Rockefeller elites. Reaching out to minority groups will have to be done by conservatives, who only constitute a percentage of the Republican Party, and who by no means control it.
Thank you for the clarification.
You are factually incorrect, however. The allegation is that Asians are treated unfairly by the universities. You have somehow weaved into this political parties. Does that make sense to you?
