Why should being born Asian so drastically negatively affect your ability to get into an elite college? It’s discrimination.

They did the same thing with Jews - they introduced standardized testing, found that too many Jews were making it into Harvard, and then added other requirements so they could reject them.

For some of us who want a not-systemically-racist society, this seems like a travesty

Why should being born the child of a parents who didn't attend ivy league colleges so drastically affect my ability to get into an ivy league college? It's discrimination.
Do you think I would disagree?
Ironically the only people who disagree are 1. Harvard and 2. Sonya Sotomayor

Both of whom support AA
