NYC Ping.
Fair enough, I thought we were suppose to judge a man not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character?
Chinese, Indian, and Vietnamese parents are perfectly capable of starting their own schools for high achievers, and know how to operate them cheaply and effectively with lots of parent involvement.
I’ve seen it happen with my own eyes, and I’m sure it can happen in NYC.
Asians have got to get over the fact that low IQ Africans have killed meritocracy. Diversity is the code word for the how to cheat program of the African community of dunces.
I understand that some educational establishments used to do something similar with regard to Jewish students; until it became unfashionable.
I am for true merit based promotion. The notion of putting everyone in there just so certain groups don’t get their feelings hurt is a notion tried and failed. I’m a proud white guy. If I don’t make the cut to go to school with the asians, then I accept it and/or try harder rather than demand some special accommodation.
More of the soft bigotry of low expectations. I would hope every parent, regardless of skin color, would be pi$$ed.
Asians need to get used to the idea of paying for their childre’s schooling twice. Once, through their real estate taxes to fund “ Senior Children’s Day care” AKA government schools and once through private school tuition.
No sense of the individual in Comrade de Blasio’s NYC.
NYers are getting what they deserve—as they always do—with their choice of mayor.
It’s not about bias. It’s about making sure all kids are as dumb as as their kids. Can’t have anyone looking smarter than the hoodlums.
What a putz. NO ethnic group owns admission to these schools. Or did, up until now. Selection was based on merit, period. It is NYC that is now creating a racial entitlement.
The parents of passed-over students should file suit. This should demand a listing of admitted students by race and test scores (individuals need not be named), as well as a list of all passed over students with higher test scores than the lowest score of an admitted student. The latter students are clear victims of racial discrimination. The suit should demand that NYC schools make them whole by giving them a full scholarship to the private school of their choice.
This would fix the problem substantively while making public the degree of racial discrimination involved. It would also impose a remedy that would hit the NYC educrats where it hurts.
While I support completely merit bases admissions, I can’t help but sit back and enjoy far left liberals bitching about the policies they impose on us deplorables. This is what Samantha Bee and her husband were whining about. Let ‘em suffer IDGAS.
“I just don’t buy into the narrative that any one ethnic group owns admission to these schools,”
What a moron! The Asians aren’t claiming they own admission to the schools, they just don’t want to be discriminated against.
But they will get the last laugh. At the end of the day what makes a good school is the quality of the student body. By watering that down those schools won’t be so elite anymore.
Well, duh.
But in a series of forceful statements on Tuesday, Richard A. Carranza, the schools chancellor, offered a blunt rebuttal to their claims. “I just don’t buy into the narrative that any one ethnic group owns admission to these schools,” he said on Fox 5 New York.
That sounds like an admission of guilt to me.
If Asian Groups are worried about this one, they haven’t heard the one about air traffic controllers...
“are around 75% Asian. “
—
They study,they are smart,and they earned admission.
No one would be complaining if it was 75% black.

The commercial for Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) has a line that states “The world equally distributes talent”. Anyone with a brain knows that’s clearly not true, but even if it was, certain cultures put a greater emphasis on education and hard work than others. It makes a huge difference.
This is the funniest part of the story.
This would be a tragedy. Not only would it be unfair to the most hardworking applicants, it would completely ruin the school for everyone.
It happened to my school.
