    • I am amused that the Trump administration is actually taking this on. The reason is that if these schools admitted every qualified Asian applicant, his white base would be blaming Asians for not being able to get into these schools.

      100% agree with the lawsuit. Being asian is a disadvantage especially if your kids are from a bay area school. My daughter was seriously considering changing her name to be more African American sounding to get past the admissions process. This is a problem with all Ivy league schools - not just Harvard.

      This is why America is going down hill. We don't pick the best anymore. Don't need to work or study hard. Affirmative action will take care of you.
      BTW, we need more white and asian in NBA and NFL.

      Affirmative action at the expense of who?

      This is what you get for voting Democrat.

      We are what makes SV run. Americans have stopped doing math. And Hispanics and blacks??HA give me a break, we would have to lower the bar so low to let these guys in these companies. Computer Science is not easy.

      No wonder the Ivy graduates whom I have had the pleasure to meet over the years seem not terribly intelligent to me.

      You mean like how white students cheat by looking over the shoulder of the Asian student sitting in front of them.

      Maybe a DOJ look at the UC system and the number of Asians admitted vs. the number of Asian's who graduate from CA high schools?

      To be fair, there's plenty of discrimination against American workers by companies that hire H-1B visa workers. 60 Minutes had a good segment on it last night.

      Racial discrimination is racial discrimination and is illegal. Period.

      As a white locally born engineer I have been racially discriminated against for over 25 years in SV. Go figure.

      Public schools should not discriminate, because they get funding from the Federal Government. With that said, unless a private school gets a large amount of federal funding, this should not be a big issue.

      Once again Herhold's abhorrence for anyone of Asian descent comes to the front.

      Time to quit old man.

      Add this to your racist and sexist attack on Mike Honda's grandchild and you really deserve a seat at the old folks home.

      Asian/Asian-Americans spend a lot of time/money on test prep courses and tutors for their kids. Does this really mean they are the best and the brightest students? I think there are plenty of studies that show standardized test scores don't really correlate well with academic success. To fix the problem, the test should be of completely random format each year and test problem solving vs. how many vocabulary words you have memorized. Then you would have a better shot at determining who was really the best and brightest as opposed to who just spent a lot of time doing prepping for the test.

      One person is smart but lazy. Another person is so-so but hard working. Who deserves more rewards? Shall we pay a person more because he/she has high IQ? If you think Asian American students spend too much time on test prep, you should do it, too. Or you can spend more time on sports or social activities. All of these are considered for college admission. Race doesn't encourage hard working. Doesn't change your IQ, either. Because some students study so hard, they will be punished? Do you think this is reasonable? While our education system is rewarding students based on skin color or natural IQ, Chinese and Indians are catching up quickly on science and technology because they have this hard-working culture. If you don't believe this, check science publications.

      No they aren't. They are taking big donors' kids, legacies and athletes. Then they use affirmative action to "round out" the class. Then they sit around and tell themselves they are exceptional.

      Mr. Herhold says "In the meantime, I have advice for Mr. Jia, now a student at Duke: Get over it. Life will go on very nicely at Duke." Ignorant comes to mind.

      The problem with the "X race is well represented" is that individual students don't give two $#!ts if "their race is represented". They aren't there to "represent their race", they're there to get an education. Which they can't do if they are rejected because "there are too many of your kind."

      "It makes for a better experience by exposing undergraduates to students of diverse backgrounds."

      What's the proof for this claim? So are we to assume students at Fudan University or Tokyo University are deprived?

      Another example is Indian Institutes of Technology - 100% Indians and they are doing great!

      You want equality and not racism? Fine, having any school have a demographic for Asian higher than the national population of 5.6% is racist and discriminatory to any race that doesn't have their equal population ratio.
