> By who? "whom". By us? By our culture? By the media? > What data is there? A stereotype is not evidence; Education attainment? Income? Interracial Marriage? Sure a stereotype isn't evidence. But my point is that both the nation at large "stereotypically" and alumni ( after interviewing asians ) both rated asian personalities at the same level or better than other races. Given that evidence, why did admissions officers rate asians a couple of standard deviations below other races? > something about the personalities of individuals. But we aren't inferring personalities of individuals. We are inferring personalities of racial groups. |

Personalities are characteristics of individuals. Racial groups don't have a scientific basis regardless, and "Asia" covers a vast world from India to Korea to Indonesia to Kazakhstan to Pakistan to Tibet to Cambodia to Japan ... it's absurd to suggest you can say anything about all these individuals that doesn't apply to all humanity. My own family members have very different personalities.

Not in my experience and I sure don't. Is there any basis for this? And see my comment above.
