That there are other Ivy League schools, a ton of other top schools, and a ton of amazing public state universities? That life ultimately is not fair and there is no objective measurement of merit to attend any of these institutions? That straight As and 1600s on the SAT are not all that matters in life? Maybe, Harvard isn't that big of a deal, in reality, there aren't really any jobs dominated by Harvard undergrads.

I think you're missing the point, for asians "being asian" has become a bad thing. You can't be smart and play piano and excel at tennis if you want to go to an ivy league, you have to do "non-asian" things. Isn't that crazy?
