Topic	Wow, Asians really do get hit hard by affirmative action

Asians would still have by far the worst looking acceptance rate If you were to create a table just like in the OP without any preference given to any race, the acceptance rates would be the same for all races, all else equal. Impossible because of inequality in applications. For example, the black rate is between 50 and 80%. You can't even admit 50% of Asian applicants because it exceeds student vacancies. I guess schools could physically expand the campus and hire more staff... Also, for those with the illusion that blacks are shown preference, there are so few black applicants to these schools that any school can admit 100% of them and still have several times more white and Asian students. He's saying that each individual applicant in a specific score/GPA bracket would have the same odds of getting in. If every single person regardless of race had a 10%, 20%, 30%, or whatever shot...the rate as seen in this chart would-still-be-the-same because the most important factor in this rate is the number of applicants per race, that's how they're getting these numbers in the first place. If colleges want to really "keep Asians out" and limit the number of applicants all together then the rate would look better...but that would be real hard racism, literally robbing Asians of the chance to even shoot their shot. If Asians had a higher chance to get ion to college at any given GPA bracket, they would STILL show such dysmal numbers on a chart like this because of how the numbers are obtained. Asians are actually very, very disproportionately over represented in higher education. And i'm not complaining about that, no one is. --- It's not the end of the world, but we can see it from here. <cite>Fony posted [p:903447800] in Wow, Asian...
