I mean, apparently the thing is that Harvard is refusing or declining or denying entry to some Asian people with very very high test scores.
That's the thing of it?
So they are they asking them to explain how it is that they are refusing or denying entry to some Asian people with very very high test scores.
And Harvard comes back and says 'It's soooooooooooooo competitive'. 'We have soooooooooooo many Asians with very very high test scores'. 'We would be over-crowded with Asians if we let in all the Asians with very very high test scores'.
So I suppose the issue, really, is that they are picking Asians with lower test scores. I guess that's it. How the schools do. They say 'We decided to select for things other than test scores'. 'We decided to select for qualitative things that we cannot quantify so as to have the mix of students we wanted'.
Maybe the thing is that the Asian people who are accepted to study at Harvard find that the fellow-Asians who have been accepted to study at Harvard really aren't that bright...
And then it turns out they were only selected because they made the kids of the elite white feel super-special.
Likely that's it.
In which case more of a direct analogy with what they likely do with the Black / Hispanic places at UNC.
I wonder if they do similarly for low socio-economic.
Likely, yes.
It's just creating a fan-fare about the kids who were selected to be the next generation of leaders for the Hitler-Youth. You know, ensuring the black people, the hispanic people, the asian people, the poor-white people stay in their respective post-codes or places.
Sending them out like generals in a global army about the world...
