Too bad Asian test scores aren't reflected in their expressive ability nor perhaps even in their actual reading comprehension. <br /><br />As much as I hate to admit it, I think g as an all encompassing indicator of ability is overrated at least wrt SAT scores. It matters both what you train your mind to do and what your biological strengths are. An IQ test, on the other hand, does a much better job of pinpointing actual capability. <br /><br />Disappointing that the multicult graduates from high status universities are no less prone to promoting themselves as a deserving elite than the WASPs they're replacing and that they attempt laying claim to a hereditary right to rule. Yet few, if any, evidence the leadership or teaching ability so important for intellectuals in the Western tradition. I propose revisiting the list of accomplishments that used to be printed on the SAT booklet or score report. Leadership ability as well as enough extracurricular activities to demonstrate you were either an excellent student or a genius used to be as important as scores and grades.General Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-76274513597809083872011-06-15T16:27:28.654-07:002011-06-15T16:27:28.654-07:00I'm also amazed by white kids who choose to st...<i>I'm also amazed by white kids who choose to study something like native american basket weaving at soemplace like Reed.</i><br /><br />Wut?

Basically, they assumed a bit of interpersonal discord was a manifestation of that WASP racism you see on TV. The Jews involved at least looked for a deeper cause of the "racism" though they were on the wrong track as well.

The lowest tier of Asians with a score of 1000 are competing with the top tier of Whites with scores of 1200.<br /><br />This whole thing is BS based on taking a difference in averages and saying *all* Asians score at their average and *all* Whites score at their average.Wandrinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-30843845155577765132011-06-15T11:47:19.003-07:002011-06-15T11:47:19.003-07:00Do colleges discriminate against Asians?

The brightest white kids I grew up with had virtually no ambition beyond the local community or state.<br /><br />I'm also amazed by white kids who choose to study something like native american basket weaving at soemplace like Reed. There are a fair number of bright white kids kicking back at schools and in majors far below their abilities. Some of it is because they have a trust fund or daddy in Wall Street who can get them a job nonetheless, but most are just dreamers.<br /><br />They must exist, but I've never met a really bright Asian kid who was in a major or college that was noticibly below their intellectual or competitive abilities.<br /><br />Unlike Whites, Asians hugely cluster in the Ivies, top STEM programs and lucrative programs like medicine. It's no surprise then that even overrepresented as they are, Asians are still discriminated against to keep their percentages from going even higher. <a href="http://infoproc.wordpress.com/2007/01/page/2/" rel="nofollow">Read about anti-Asian admissions policies here.</a><br /><br />Truth nailed it.

Looked over a few comments at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hapa-Girl-Memoir-May-lee-Chai/dp/1592136168/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308145265&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a>. <br /><br />The book sounds very familiar except she probably had it easier as a female hapa. As a guy having lived it, it's depressing to think about reading someone else's similarly shitty life story.<br /><br />JSM is naive, ignorant and/or an outright liar to think such things could never have happened, especially 30yrs ago in once all white rural fly over. It didn't help that I grew up in the wake of Vietnam, farm aid, the rise of Japanese auto industry and gutting of the rust belt and other fly over manufacturing.<br /><br />Even today, the leftist MSM says it's acceptable to publically mock (Steinfeld, Shaq, Rosie) and mutedly villify (new Hollywood supervillian and Evil Empire) Asians even while ever more diefying Blacks and promulgating PC. <br /><br />To keep this in perspective, many individuals have had it much worse. Refugees and immigrants like Vietnamese boat people, ethnic Chinese from SE Asia, Whites from South Africa, Coptics from Egypt, Slavs from Ukraine, etc. However, there is relatively little real racism today in mainstream America.<br /><br />If JSM is saying Northern European ethnics are the least racists today that is a different arguement. <br /><br />In fact, Whites seem well to the point of self-loathing and beyond to targeting vitriolic hatred to their co-ethnics. I've been shocked to see how some affluent WASP parents neglect their own children because they feel it's socially unjust to favor the already fortunately born.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now I'm a mutt andHe's a Whitey, A Devil, Anything Goesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-44446196371652076862011-06-15T08:20:05.228-07:002011-06-15T08:20:05.228-07:00Wandrin, as a friend I must tell you, what you wro...Wandrin, as a friend I must tell you, what you wrote makes absoulutely no sense at all.Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286755693955361308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-88301040796644859702011-06-15T07:03:02.814-07:002011-06-15T07:03:02.814-07:00(continued)
I actually think I came up with a rea...(continued)<br /><br />I actually think I came up with a reasonable solution to all these ethnicity/admissions problems a few years back, not perfect but better than the current system which is totally biased and also sometimes crazy.<br /><br />Now it seems to me that "diversity" is actually a reasonable goal for elite educational institutions, but the problem is that "diversity" is defined in ways a handful of admissions officers like, and ignored in ways they don't like. So the children of Latin American Oligarchs probably get a huge "diversity" boost into Yale, and self-identified gays might be over-represented by 500% or whatever, but children of Midwestern Christians come up snake-eyes. So it probably would be better to "automate" the diversity, rather than have it defined by individuals with an agenda. Also, admitting students whose ability or academic background is just too weak to handle the work benefits neither them, their classmates, nor the institution.<br /><br />Consider that most elite universities admit something like 5-10% of their applicants, but that probably the vast majority of those applicants could handle the work and perform adequately if they'd been chosen. As the news articles always describe, a portion of the pool is immediately selected based on academic performance, another portion immediately excluded for exactly the same reason, and the admissions people then spend all their time going over the large remainder, applying all sorts of complex ideological and personal factors. The obvious and much fairer solution is to select this group based on totally random lot.<br /><br />So the incoming class at an elite university would consist of two segments, perhaps roughly equal in size. The first would be the top academic candidates, selected by objective criteria in direct rank-order. And the second would be a random selection from the remaining 80% or 90% of applicants whose academic record demonstrated they could handle the work and perform adequately. Since this much larger applicant pool is certainly more "diverse" than the first group, the resulting student body would certainly be considerably "diverse", but diverse in all possible ways, rather than just in the ways the admissions bureaucrats like. To a considerable extent, this process would also to reduce the extreme over-representation of all groups relative to today, but do so in a way that was completely fair and objective. There would certainly still be a lot of over-representation given the rank-order segment, but probably much less so than at present.<br /><br />Another advantage is that under the current system I'd guess that lots of talented students from less "academically aggressive" backgrounds tend not to even apply to top schools because they wrongly think they'd never have a chance of getting in, and their places are filled by less talented students with Tiger Mom-like parents. Under a random selection system, more of the first type of student would say "why not---I have as good a chance as anyone" and apply, thereby broadening the applicant pool and further diversifying the resulting intake. And there'd probably be a sharp decline in the high school academic arms race since most students would realize they could never get in via being in the first group, so why make yourself miserable by studying 100 hours per week when it wouldn't have any impact on your getting in as part of the "lucky" second group.<br /><br />Since luck rather than personal ability or effort (or corruption) would account for such a sizable fraction of the class, I'd think it might also reduce some of the resulting arrogance or bad personal behavior.<br /><br />Not a perfect system, but probably better than our current one.RKUnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-23694238433834627382011-06-15T07:02:21.572-07:002011-06-15T07:02:21.572-07:00Wandrin: If Asians are already four-times over-rep...Wandrin: <i>If Asians are already four-times over-represented by headcount and whites are under-represented by both headcount and SATs then there is no gain in advantage by claiming to be white for all those Asians that get places already i.e all the Asian top scorers, because they get places anyway.</i><br /><br />I think looking at these over/under-representation ratios causes confusion when we're considering elite institutions, which draw from just the top of the distribution curve. Remember, we're actually comparing something like the top couple of percent of Asians with the top one percent of whites.<br /><br />A much easier way of seeing what's going on is just to look at the mean test scores of the different ethnicities, which are available for lots of universities and have sometimes been discussed on this blogsite. For example, the reason everyone knows that Hispanics are getting a "diversity boost" is that the mean Hispanic SAT score for admitted students is always far below that for whites, with sometimes a gap of a hundred points or more. But on every such table I've ever seen, the Asian/white gap is generally of comparable size, though usually smaller, and in the other direction. So this would seem to show that Asians are facing a "diversity barrier" relative to whites, and would indeed benefit substantially if they pretended to be white, just as they all seem to believe. I think the blogger Steve Hsu had a detailed post about this recently.<br /><br />Now the likely existence of this sort of "Asian quota" has caused all sorts of other problems as well. Since Asians tend to be academically-oriented, as their population has grown more middle-class/affluent in recent decades, a higher and higher percentage have applied to top schools. Meanwhile, the Asian population itself has also grown rapidly. So I'd think there's been a huge rise in the number of Asian applicants, but since there's a relatively fixed Asian quota, the percentage of Asians admitted has dropped dramatically. I'll bet this is the main cause of the gigantic "academic arms race" at heavily Asian schools, which is part of what probably makes people like Amy Chua behave in such a extreme manner. And this sort of ultra-extreme academic focus makes life miserable for everyone at those schools, Asian and non-Asian alike.RKUnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-58655436679154097602011-06-15T03:16:29.411-07:002011-06-15T03:16:29.411-07:00"The whole system winds up pretty accurately ..."The whole system winds up pretty accurately reproducing at each college the one standard deviation gap seen in the whole population."<br /><br />no way. at the top universities it creates a between-groups difference much larger than that. much larger. the affirmative action effect doesn't "scale up" linearly, it scales up geometrically.<br /><br />you end up with a freshman class at some of these universities with 500 brilliant europeans, 500 brilliant east asians, and 0 brilliant africans. you probably get 20 african guys who would be decent <br />science or engineering students at the state university.<br /><br />let's face it. there are very, VERY few brilliant africans in most science and engineering fields at the professional level. like, less than 10 guys in the entire world. whereas there are so many brilliant europeans and east asians that they can only stand out if they're actual geniuses.<br /><br />saying the gap scales up linearly is kind of like saying the number of mexicans in NCAA basketball scales up linearly. they are DRAMATICALLY less good at basketball when you step up from the high school level to the college level. there are 40 million mestizos in the US yet the number of mexican DI players is literally near zero. again, there's maybe 10. then take the next step up to professional basketball and they're gone.<br /><br />every time you take a step up to the next level of competition, the average between-groups capability level is intensified. after taking 2 steps up, from high school, to college, to pro, the gap is HUGE between the best performing groups and the worst. affirmative action only keeps a couple guys around and they're like 2 or 3 standard deviations behind, not 1.jodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-5379676022694766282011-06-15T00:15:17.157-07:002011-06-15T00:15:17.157-07:00Truth,

How are they going to improve on that by pretending to be white?</i><br /><br />Well, empirically, there have been quite a lot of Asian or half-Asian commenters on this blogsite (and on this very thread) who've said they pretended to be white, or had their children do so, in order to improve their college admissions chances. But I've never come across a single white who said he pretended to be Asian for the same reason. On the other hand, huge numbers of whites are always talking about maybe pretending to be part black/Hispanic on exactly similar grounds.<br /><br />And although Asians are certainly heavily over-represented at elite academic institutions, that over-representation is much, much lower than their over-representation in the upper-reaches of more objective measures, such as PSAT/SAT scores or GPAs or top academic/math/science competitions. So either there's a pretty healthy amount of anti-Asian admissions "diversity/discrimination" going on, or all sorts of other subjective factors must be lining up in pretty coincidental fashion.RKUnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-57361377800955080822011-06-14T21:01:54.594-07:002011-06-14T21:01:54.594-07:00"Because I was raised in a nearly pure white ..."Because I was raised in a nearly pure white rural area, even being a mutt was as good as being from another planet."<br /><br />Oh, b.s.<br /><br />I was raised in a nearly pure White rural area, too. The 7 non-Whites in the whole school were treated with kindness and offered friendship, with the guileless expectation that the non-Whites would act nice back. And virtually all of them did.<br /><br />White people, including us rural rubes, only get cranky about diversity when it reaches a critical mass such that the Diversities starting thinking in "us" vs. "you" terms (like you did).JSMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-29282530183996074912011-06-14T20:56:04.636-07:002011-06-14T20:56:04.636-07:00What college application essays are really for?

To make sure that racial quotas are filled by people who are dedicated Blacks, Mexicans, etc.?Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676167615981895061noreply@blogger.com
