Some years ago I dated a woman who was a graduate of Radcliffe College,which some time later was "absorbed" (my word) by Harvard University.She told me that a classmate of hers who went on to become Vice Chancellor of Admissions at Harvard told her that were it not for Harvard's affirmative action policy every Freshman class would be made up entirely of Asians and Jews.

Although I'm no scientist (or statistician) it seems distinctly possible to me that that's indicative of some sort of genetic superiority...just as surely as the fact that East Africans win all of the world's major marathons could be indicative of some kind of genetic superiority.

God never created equality except in regard to sin and a sin nature.

Everywhere else is difference and division.

When the animal kingdom is hungry the superior eats the inferior every time.

“just as surely as the fact that East Africans win all of the world’s major marathons could be indicative of some kind of genetic superiority.”

And it’s nothing but racism that dictates every NBA team be almost entirely composed of black players even though blacks make up only about 12% of the US population??

Was she Asian or Jewish? LOL

Seriously, about 30% of the class might be legacy admissions and big donor family admissions.

She was a little wrong. Whites and Asians dominate the top tiers in terms of grades at Harvard and other places, though Jews do have a heavy disproportion in getting admitted.
