greg burnham is my heroooo
Great article!
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to take a story on "discrimination" against a totally different race and make it into a story on
"discrimination" against Jews.
Really, we're sick of hearing that you're "discriminated" against. You're 1% of the world population and own 99% of the world's money. Keep the money for all I care, but just stop drawing attention to yourselves every second you can.
Also, I guarantee the first four posts were all written by the same person.
And your argument is that we need more jews? because keeping them out was the reason that well-roundedness became important, let's see, one hundred and eight years ago? What about the black people who couldn't go to college at all? Shouldn't they get a shot?
Greg, the concern isn't so much Asian vs. white, it's Asian vs. black & Latino.
"Cultural differences, however, might mean that well-rounded Asian kids would look different than well-rounded white kids. Since our current standards were originally designed by and for WASPs, they may well fail to recognize these success-poised Asian kids."
soooo even though these standards were designed for wasps, they appear to benefit african american kids? shabbinteresting.
What precisely is meant by post-graduation success and why should that be much more significant than academic and extracurricular success while actually AT Princeton? Not everyone with a lucrative job gives back to the university, and if everyone at Princeton spent all four years chasing that lucrative job and only using their time to further their chances of procuring it, what would the atmosphere on campus be like? Significantly more boring and depressing than it already is.
check out this kid, Tim Sun, Columbia '13- Bwog had a story about him a couple days ago. He's one of the world's fastest Rubik's cube solvers. Not sure if this helps the Asian stereotype, but any college would be lucky to have a guy as sharp as he is, obviously.
