Reply to comment by blumpkinmania in TIL that Richard Feynman, one of the greatest theoretical physicists ever, was rejected admission to Columbia University because of his Jewish ancestry and instead went to MIT. by icbm67

Orrrrr…. This is also about Asians being excluded and having different standards applied to them due to their minority status.

The parent comment of “Racial diversity is a good thing” being down voted also suggests it’s a super complex topic.

No. It’s a bunch of racist white folks who think denying black folks entrance to Harvard will somehow elevate them. If test scores were the only criteria Harvard would be half Asian. Harvard is under no obligation to only use test scores for entrance.

28% of this years FR class is Asian-American. Asian-Americans make up 8% of the USA. They’re not discriminated against as a whole when it comes to Harvard admission.

The Supreme Court has a case before it regarding this very thing. We'll know in a few weeks if it's illegal discrimination

Isn’t that awesome. A bunch of white nationalist Christians are in charge of what’s allowable in this country.
