John Kennedy rips Harvard for "unfair" admissions practices towards Asian-Americans 

Agreed

We need to get rid of Ivy League schools as they don’t cherish American individualism and foster racism and elitism.

private universities are like private businesses...they do whatever they want at their own cost

And nepotism in corporate America.

These Republicans will never mention that....

Are you saying black people don’t work hard?

They are penalized because socialism dictates that we all live in misery. We’re. not there yet.

It is actually "political correctness" rather than diversity. If they truly wanted "diversity" with merit, they would give a quota to the minority groups (Blacks and Hispanics - BUT not mixed or include mixed races), then "BLINDING" any refereces to the race (choice of "race", "candidates' names - use numbers only". Unfortunately, if is very likely that the number of Whites into those colleges would suffer, which they would not go for it, hence, this issue is "political correctness".

Good point

@@josephlee5947 WHat do you mean 'they won't go for it'?? Are you kidding? They will do it and then advertise that they DID do exactly that!! All colleges want to make the claim that they treat Blacks better than competing schools....a modern day badge of honor.

Wait Asians count as a minority when they are attacked. But not a minority in college admissions. I’m confused. Selective minority status?

@@boblester8641 Asians are a minority group. It is just that the College admission percentage is very high, compared to the rest of the population. In Asian culture (esp. Indians and East Asians), there is an "expectation" that you would go to the College, just as any American students are expected to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. I know that Americans are ignorant of the World Map (in general - "Africa is part of Europe"), but there are East Asians, South East Asians, Subcontinent and Middle Eastern Asians, as well as Pacific Islanders. It is like calling anyone "Americans" for people from Mexico, Canada, Central America and South American.

​@John Doe does the stat really differentiate ultra rich asian "international" student from asian american? this isnt fake news but old news. mostly rich ppl with extra curricular get in. poor ppl get in on luck and token basis. cuz i dont see any rich asian from asia with good grades having hard time getting in. a patronizing affirmative action is just a quick-fix disempowering tokenism. the actual change comes from investing in the impoverish zipcodes, otherwise, its just lazy virtue signalling.

@Peter Schmidt I'd agree. Ther are basically conditioned to think only in their own world, which is primarily shaped by the media.

@@vermary blacks like you sound quite privileged and racist. you deem people racist, when they want equality that does not benefit you.

@@vermary damn, that’s kinda racist

It’s just not right to discriminate a student and set different standards by the skin color. After graduation, they could be our doctors, scientists, and opinion leaders, if tests for the admission to the best schools are not difficult enough, how could they screen out the most qualified people? If you are not qualified enough, why not do something else that you are better at rather than taking up the valuable resources of other people who could do better and contribute more than you? I believe there are very hardworking and intelligent people in every race, if a lower standard has to be set for some races to compete with other races, this is racism. Also, credentials holding by such privileged races would not be considered as respectable and convincing as of those are not, even if the holder of such races is truly qualified.

I wonder why people don't see these standards as racist ? Looking at these requirements, to me they are saying to blacks you are least intelligent, then saying to the Asian you're the most intelligent and we're going to punish you for that by requiring a higher score, and for those in between they could be left out by default of race. Why even have race play a role ? To those who created this crap I say keep it simple STUPID. Have a min entry score and leave race out of it, then hold interviews , background checks or others unbiased means to determine who gets in. To be so well Educated them seem Uneducated to me.

Yeah, it seems that discrimination in the academic field is not only acceptable but virtuous in the name of racial diversity and equity. Why do these elite schools value diversity in their academic programs other than majors relating to social science so much, but participation in their sports programs is strictly based on talent and ability? An Asian male could be born into and raised in a black family who understands more about the black culture, black history and contribute more to the society in the field than a student with black skin color, why judge a student by his skin color rather than by some unbiased tests to see if he is diversified and representative enough?

Heck any student from another country automatically has a higher intelligence and sat scores than any domestic students .

If you don't impose this kind of rules there will be too much asians in the university. Just look at the success rare of asians in the CFA exams.

@Code_with_Me In Southern California, $3 million is not really that much, perhaps upper middle class, but not considered as traditionally "rich". Southern California is expensive so I totally understood when he said they were "comfortable" and not rich. If they move to rural Mississippi, then $3 million is A LOT of money and you'll be considered as "rich" lol

​@Code_with_Me Exactly, it is all relative. It's all relative depending on where you live. I didn't disagree with your comment, but simply explaining why it is considered not "rich" for having 3 mil in SoCal. For many people, that's a lot of money, but the original comment was talking about their personal life and situation. I personally can't question op's financial situation/life since I don't live where they live and don't have the same amount of asset as they do. But having lived in big cities myself with high cost of living, I understand where op is coming from. For op, relative to where they live, $3 mil in asset is not considered as "rich", nor did they say they were poor. I don't think op was thinking of a generalised notion of "rich and poor", but it's simply just relative to the life they have living in Southern California, where cost of living is much higher than the average. They simply mentioned "comfortable", but even living "comfortably" can be relative as well. I guess it all depends on one's lifestyle and spending, and the cost of living of the place you live in.

@Code_with_Me most of that could easily be thru property they own especially california since their housing market is some of the most expensive in the country

@Code_with_Me doesnt really change the fact that they started small and was able to be succesful while here you are ranting their earning just because OP is humble. What do you want to hear? Brag their earnings? And I bet you will still bash the OP because you will hate the story anyway

Pilipinos are not asians. :) just kidding

We should demand more acceptance of Asians and hispanics into NBA

Yep. Basically what iv been saying. These career politicians do litterally anything to make themselves look good. They never ban guns that actually contribute the most to shootings, they only ban guns that look scary so they look good infront of people who dont know much about guns. These people see that african-american enrollment in harvard isnt high, or that women involvement in STEM isnt high, so they start alienating others just to meet their diversity quota. Worst part is, channels like CBC, FOX, and CNN are litterally just bought out by politicians to act as their personal mouthpeice.

@John Doe nah, Affirmative Action is racial/sexual discrimination and the enemy of merit.

Breaking news, Asians too -hardworking- privileged, no longer considered minority. Suggestions: try breaking into a footlocker and getting addicted to painkillers.

@John Doe are asian americans not minorities?

@@Sarcoth05 manz comments about how Asians are only 6% of U.S population and now says they are not a minority,he doesn’t know what’s he’s saying is contradictory.

People need to realize that A perfect or good grade and test score isn’t the only factor to get into an Ivy League. Someone without a 4 gpa or a 1600 or 36 test score can get to an Ivy League if they somehow stood out form others. Extracurricular activities, championships(national), legacy,etc.

The Marxist Democrats are planning and implementing a permanent welfare state and universal basic income. This is going to wed people to the government and they will be controlled. This whole administration is trying to destroy our constitution and the ability to pursue happiness. They are doing everything that will destroy our livelihoods,. Raise taxes, punish businesses and take us OUT. They are on board with klaus S of World Economic Forum and people need to to to that site and investigate the Event 201 and proposals that were all adopted when the virus came out. Not only that but it was a simulation of the pandemic by them and BEFORE THE VIRUS CAME OUT! Oct. 2019 NYC. Attended by UN, CIA (Avril Haines who recently was elevated by BIDEN) WHO, ROCKEFELLER’s JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY who kept the pandemic death records for all to see everyday on MSM and who skewed the numbers by putting all deaths on Covid including terminally ill people who die each yr from diseases. The change in Death certificate for COVID allowed an illusion of a pandemic. Johns Hopkins Univ researchers analyzed the data of 2020 and said we were in normal range for a normal yr in deaths . Yes manipulation occurred the deaths from all diseases that kill Americans every yr ALL WENT DRASTICALLY DOWN WHY? They were on COVID side. The hosts of Event 201 (agenda 21 as 0 was a globe) were World Economic Forum (pushers of Great Reset Totalitarian Agenda Takeover) and Bill and Melinda Gates. The pandemic was a manipulated event and was a way to get Mrna tech into the general population as a experiment. It does not qualify as a vaccine for many reasons. Chiefly it is experimental and never seen success in animal trials over decade of research on it. Secondly, it is not providing immunity but it is making people sick and some die. It should be removed at once. We are dealing here with depopulation agenda that UN and NSA, and NIH, WHO, GATES, ETC have been planning for many many years. Read the Rockefeller Foundation 2010 report on Future of Technology and the New Global initiatives for Their New World ORder. Go to World Economic Forum and look at new simulation for July... A CYBER PANDEMIC to affect all banking, GRIDS, and supply chains of life sustaining goods...food, water, medicines... READ THEIR SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS ....... remember all they plannned for pandemic was adopted worldwide. Spread the world what this new threat is. WE are in WW3 being fought with manmade bioweapons and totalitarain control by the Global Elite ....... PROTESTS IN MASS

Wow, the “model minority” myth in full bloom.

@John Doe If you judge admissions solely by merit and achievement then the % of Asian composition at Harvard would be MUCH greater.

@yohan cha actually Whites have the most to lose if they use objective standards.

@John Doe not only the poor but even middle class students do not need to pay tuition and other fees due to the huge endorsement Harvard has. All the Senator is saying is students should not be discriminated because of race.

@John Doe poor people and minorities? So there are no low income struggling asians? Why would you still make them have to score higher than other minorities when they belong to the same economic hardships?

Basically what im saying too. Its stupid how some people bash the place and giving up, when they could work on building it up.

Whites are discriminated against for the same reason. If you forbid discrimination against asians, you have to do the same thing for Whites. My daughter couldn't get into Harvard even though She literally could not have better academics. Straight A, AP everything, Valedictorian. No legacy, I went to Gonzaga before we had a good basketball team. She had to go to Brown. I consider that Harvard's loss and Brown's gain. It's because if you only have white student, you are a white school. If you only have Asian students, you are an Asian school. If you only have women, you are a women's college. There are lots of other schools. It actually gives asian graduates from top schools more prestige. Other groups may have an undeserved stigma. You went to Harvard but you are not White or Asian.

@@tati9867 First of all I am not a woman. I only said that because I wasn't good enough to play on the men's basketball team. It didn't work they kicked me off for excessive hand checking. (joke) My point is that if you base admissions on academics alone, the student body will be almost entirely White and Asian. This is not because those groups are inherently smarter. It's because those groups are culturally advantaged when if comes to academics. Even women are culturally advantaged because girls tend to think more about academics and boys tend to think only about girls. They can't just come out and say our admittance policy is going to strive to reflect the population in general, so they have to go about it in a more deceptive way. Stanford has a fairly competitive football team. Do you think all those 300lb linemen are academically qualified to go to Stanford? So what is the law that is being proposed? Academics will be the only consideration? If that's what happens Asians will be overrepresented and minority groups, that are already underrepresented, will be even more underrepresented. Great if you're Asian, not so good if you're black.

Sorry to hear this. This is wrong.

Whites still make up 50% of Harvard's class. Asians make up 20. When California banned affirmative action, roughly _60%_ of Berkeley's incoming class became Asian, as opposed to 30% the year before. It's unequivocally false that affirmative action is against the 20%. Not the 50%. I reject any notion that the people donating buildings and sending in trust fund babies share a struggle with the people who came here with _nothing,_ not even a penny of generational wealth, and built up their lives from scratch.

And it only happens to Asian citizens in American schools, how sad!

It's all about the money. 😉

@@PuckDaily plus anyone else who can outcompete with $$$. 😉

Wondering how many of them quit Harvard just like Bill Gate, saying like “I don’t wanna waste my time”

If you want an all asian school pls feel free to.open one. Asians only anything not yellow.is a no

It’s incredible isn’t it? I have no idea man. I’ve repeatedly told my other Asian American friends about this and they don’t care, they continue to support the Democratic Party blindly without realizing this is what they’re doing. This amendment got declined btw with all democrats voting no. Stop Asian hate right?

I mean it's America. Their healthcare system bankrupts people, the infrastructure is falling apart(Flint water for example) and shootings are a regular occurance. You think after being complacent through all that that this bothers them? As long as they see their flag waving and their national anthem they don't care.

Imagine the ton of money being exchanged btn Harvard/Ivy League universities and lobbyists to enrol students who may have arguable scores into Ivy League universities?

I think people are afraid of speaking up about this paradox (if not hypocrisy) but, in a long run, this issue has to be talked out and resolved. Otherwise, we will continue with the current trend of attributing everything to systemic racism and White privilege without considering individual merits and circumstances-with so many paradoxes and plot holes, which would not help resolve any social problems.

Both sides hate asians. Both sides pretend to side with them while harming them, the left calls us privilege and the right are racist towards Asians. Both parties are guilty for what is happening now, finger pointing won't resolve anything, stop saying "they started it" it's getting so old.

Agreed. Let meritocracy and your personal story decide your admissions, not race baiting.

Yes, race/ethnicity/names should be hidden from the decision makers.

Did you ever see a movie called "soul man"?

@@tl9585 some, but very few. Sadly, it's true.

That’s the same argument white people have used for decades to undermine affirmative action.

@@KM-pm6qe lets be honest affirmative action isn’t there to help black people, its to cause division amongst minorities and it works. they should just outsource taxes into high schools/middle schools with a high percentage of black people. with public schools using local taxes as funds, poor neighborhood’s public schools will be stuck in the cycle of being underfunded.

@@cobana4730 yes, the way schools are funded is totally inequitable, I agree! But about affirmative action: a lot of people have negative opinions about affirmative action before they fully understand what it is (and isn’t), and what its goals actually are, and how they are actually achieved. I agree it’s controversial and is a lightning rod for conflict between racial groups, but I think it’s far too cynical a view that that is the intent. I think the problem is mostly one of not understanding it, and people being manipulated by oversimplifications and mischaracterizations of the concept. Here’s a short explainer for affirmative action: www.aclu.org/other/myths-and-facts-about-affirmative-action. I am curious if your opinion would change or stay the same after reading it. By the way, your idea of directing more funds to schools with high proportions of Black students could be a form of affirmative action.

@John Doe i had perfect test scored and more than enough extracurricular activities to get into harvard. I was rejected. Another kid from my school who is black with a lower test scores went in. They didnt even bother explaining. And i had to go to columbia because of this bs. So no, if they take students purely on merits, we asian americans will take up more than 21% of the seats. And no, not a better candidate was chosen over me, he was chosen over me because he is black.

The personality rating pretends to be based on cultivation. But without an interview, how does one tell.

The media dismisses his experience and calls him racist for posing as black. They obviously see AA as an issue and his case as evidence, but it doesn’t fix the current agenda.

I have personal connections with people high up in admissions at a college where they are pressured to admit lower performing students if they are listed as black. These practices hurt much more than they are thought to "help."

@@wfhalsey1 yeah, at the most basic level it creates resentment amongst all the rejected students who seeing their peers get in with same or lesser grades for the sole reason of their skin color. The students aren't dumb and they figure out everything.

Did you fight in the Korean war? Who are the roof Koreans? I am interested. Thank you.

@@terrykelly6113 In Los Angeles, California, during the Rodney King riots (1992) a group of Korean residents armed themselves to defend thei business and property against mobs burning and looting the neighborhood. Some Koreans used the tactical advantage of the roof top of the buildings to fight the angry mobs. They were called Rooftop Koreans. Many people in America believe we have the right to defend ourselves against criminals by any means.

@@aqareu875 I remember those riots, but not not that aspect. I agree they are heroes.

Yep. Its insane how institutions even consider race in any extent when it comes to acceptance. Universities want to pursue diversity so hard to the point they turn down students just because of it. Same with tech. Here in canada, theres been countless programs in my school and in our area where its basically STEM workshops, but they only accept women into it because "the workplace is too crowded with men" Its like these people see the problem dont think inequal oppurtunity is a problem, instead they think that demographic is the problem.

Ben, I thank you for showing our culture love and sharing admiration for our values. Even going so far to learn our language. I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors and I hope you keep safe in this pandemic.
