"One Korean student, applying from a top prep school, got pegged at MIT as “yet another textureless math grind.” At Vanderbilt, a former admissions staffer offered that Asians “are very good students, but don’t provide the kind of intellectual environment” that colleges are looking for."
"Harvard evaluators “ranked Asian American candidates on average below whites in ‘personal qualities,’” and repeatedly described them as “‘quiet/shy, science/math oriented, and hard workers.’” While McGrath Lewis and other high-ranking admissions officials deny the presence of stereotyping, the lower-level staffers responsible for individual applications acknowledge that such practices exist"

This is so racist. It made me cry. I hate being Asian. Textureless math grind? Don't people realize that these are actual human beings they're dealing with? How can they be so insensitive? I can't believe that someone would make a blanket statement about Asians like "not providing the right intellectual environment." This person has a job?
And isn't is just plain wrong to say one type of personality (extroverted, "white") is better in terms of "personal qualities" (a term which by itself is Bu11) than another? That's just naked racism, to rank Asians below whites in personal qualities just because they're PERCEIVED to be quieter and more hardworking. Since when were those BAD things? People are just looking for an excuse to look down on Asians.
I don't mean to make another redundant thread. But this article is really noteworthy and it hit me on a personal level.
