Dunno, a great number of those asians in silicon valley are H1Bs.
As far as I can see, when people use the word "minority", they mean to refer to unsuccessful losers who need special government assistance. Asians don't fit that mold.
The term minority is strictly quantitative.
You may also be shocked to know that the terms male and female refer to the type of genitalia the referenced creatures were born with.
You are welcome for the basic vocabulary lesson.
I don’t understand the reason for such a smart-ass comment to the previous poster......
Where was male/female even mentioned???????
I love it. The mecca of intellectual liberalism, Harvard, practices racist, exclusionary admission practices against a particular people of color. They can’t spin this. This is racism. Oh, the irony.
Asians have strong family values, meaning brother, sisters and parents work together to help each other succeed. They don’t seem to be preoccupied with same sex marriage.
If you would like a lesson in sentence structure, it may interest you to know you do not end a sentence with a preposition.
You typed, “...referenced creatures were born with.”
Correctly, you should have typed, “...with which the referenced creatures were born.”
THUS ENDETH THE LESSON
Hey how about that Chinese physics prof at Temple U that sold trade secrets to China and had a boatload of chinese students helping him?
Asians mostly vote liberal, and now they want to be exempted from the side-effects.
Yep . . .you reap what you sow.
They are amongst the most conservative-values of Americans.
Yet politically too many just don’t get it.
This was a GOP opportunity-lost decades ago. “Affirmative action” should have been stopped years prior to Bakke v. California Regents
Punishing intelligent achievers and rewarding indolent dummies.
Are there any stats on Jewish applicants/admittances?
Just curious . .for there seems to be ALOT of bios with that elite private academy/left wing/Ivy League/Jewish-named “journ-o-lists” government and NGO employees.
So if my suspicions are correct, there are disproportionate Jewish and Asian students, quotas for blacks, Latinos and Muslims . . . .leaving, gee, guess who, out?
If Harvard does indeed use quotas, may I suggest one for unattractive women. When I stomped around campus for a few hours, I saw what I would consider one, yes, one attractive female.
And she was Asian. Everyone else were Plain Janes or ugly feminist left winger types.
Oh really? Can you quote a source on that?
Just picking something at random:
Today, nearly 5 percent of Americans have Asian ancestry, tracing to countries from India to Japan. The Pew Research Center reports that they are "the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in the United States." They are overrepresented in fields like medicine, engineering and computer science. In Silicon Valley, they hold half of the tech jobs.What persecution? I mean, do they ever burn down a town? Do they only get admitted to Harvard because some rich muzzie from the Middle East intervenes on their behalf? The whole thing reeks of non-white-privilege to me. /s
This picture of the needy and helpless American Negro personifies who too many are: (not a pretty picture) On the other hand, speeches like Michelle Obama's to the graduating class at Tuskegee University seemed full of her bitterness...someone close to her when she was very young and again through out her life, kept her from realizing how fortunate she was to have a family like hers...Al Sharpton, the odious little race pimp close to the Obama's.... Asian Americans do not relie on the color of their skin, with them it is all about values.
From “For Asian Americans, a changing landscape on college admissions”, http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-adv-asian-race-tutoring-20150222-story.html#page=1
African Americans received a “bonus” of 230 points, Lee says.
She points to the second column.
“Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points.”
The last column draws gasps.
Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points — in other words, they had to do that much better to win admission.
Can I ask a stupid question? Pardon my ignorance, but.......
Aren’t quotas or restrictive admission policies against the law? Maybe I’m just completely ignorant? Do civil rights laws banning racial/ethnic discrimination just not apply at all to the area of college admissions???
