Leftists favor discrimination to get equal results, except in areas like sports where blacks excel.

Bingo. In my college days, I recall talking to a friend who worked in the admissions office. She told me that they had a secret-not-so-secret scale when considering applicants which gave extra points based solely on race. Asian applicants received the least amount, even below "white" applicants. The reason given for this was that if they treated everyone the same, Asians would garner way more admission spots than their percentage of the population.

So much for merit. Diversity uber alles.

I’m interviewing right now. If the interviewer is East Asian, the questions are completely technical.

However, if the interviewer is NOT Asian, or East Asian, then the questions are about whether you can actually interact cheerfully with the people you are trying to serve with the technology.

It’s striking. The premium for Asians is competency over actual delivery of value. That’s been the knock on admins - you know the software, but you suck at helping us unlock the value of it by being such an as**ole.

I guess colleges would like their students to win likeability contests.

I would never, EVER send my children to an ivy league college.

I love them too much.

When are the Asians going to figure this out?

Asians like to go with the glamor brands (the Ivies, BMW, Rolex, etc), even if the product has become a forged, cheap knock-off (as the ivys have become), I guess.

Every person on the Harvard staff who is screwing these Asian students out of their rightful place in Harvard is a liberal Democrat.

Guaranteed

Back in 1982, between the end of exams and commencement, I noticed a lot of classmates emerge that I had never seen before. The were disproportionately Asian and foreign.

Hope the Asians sue the crap out of Hah-vahd.

Good old thumb on the scale.

Can we guess which group(s) Harvard scored highest on these so-called personality traits?

[olepap]

very dull and empty people

Meanwhile, bitter, angry, racist, Safe Spacer “African Americans” were given the top scores for attitude and personality . . .

From the article:

Harvard vigorously defended its admissions process on Friday, saying that its own expert analysis showed no discrimination. It lashed out at the founder of Students for Fair Admissions, Edward Blum, accusing him of using Harvard in an effort to orchestrate a challenge to race-conscious admissions that would go to the Supreme Court.

Well, that is interesting. It seems to be Harvard's opinion that setting up a court case, with the aim of changing public policy, perhaps even getting the Supreme Court to proclaim a new "constitutional right" is a tactic that is only to be used by the left. For this tactic to be used against Harvard is wrong!

Well, my opinion is that what's fair is fair. If a tactic can be used by one side, it can be used by another.

Seems like it’s the liberals and their ivory tower institutions who need their own unconscious bias training.
