Again let's be crystal clear and stick to my very specific question. If a group allegedly has advantages over another group then that would lead to over representation over time, would it not? If they are in fact under represented over time, it would seem obvious that they clearly don't have advantages, or if they do those "advantages" are overwhelmed by some other factor. How could it be any other way? You seem very reluctant to face this question head on and keep diving into this Asian difficulty in admission tangent which has nothing to do with this very specific question, does it make you uncomfortable?

Well, looks like it's time to stop encouraging my kids to go to university in North America.

If you've managed to inculcate them with that attitude then yeah, we're all better off if you send them to Grenada or some such place.https://www.thecollegefix.com/harvard-engineering-profs-now-required-to-submit-diversity-reports/

That's an interesting defense of pretty much anything, isn't it now? So if I tell you I'd rather not be in a university that has students who advocate for sacrificing puppies, I'm intolerant by your standards? It's just a "diverse viewpoint" isn't it? If I tell you I'd rather not be at a university where students advocate that Jews are subhuman that makes me intolerant, just a "diverse viewpoint", "good people on both sides" and all that? Notice I didn't say that I am for suppressing anti-Semitic speech when protected by the first amendment, that's a very different thing than saying that I feel that speech provides no benefit and is detrimental and so therefore would prefer that it not be present at the same university I'm at or my kids are at and provide tuition that pays to support it. And I'm certainly free to make it clear that my alumni donations go toward a program I believe in, which pays the professors subject to that program (I am not a Harvard alumni, just to be clear). And you've certainly free to send your kids to school somewhere else and we'll all be happier for it, we seem to be in violent agreement on that given your first post, no?So tolerant of diverse viewpoints.
If you and your kids want to cry about how they're being discriminated against by being white, you and they're certainly entitled to that. It's in no way intolerant for me to exercise my free speech and say we'd all be better off if they went to school in Grenada, but then you seem pretty intolerant of me saying that, don't you.
be careful. Sig sees racists and racism under every stone. he tried the same nonsense with me. I proved his assertion wrong with facts and figures God bless he then put me ignore.Don't know what the numbers are, but I think it is clear that best qualified do not always get in. For example, Asians are held to much higher standard: http://time.com/5546463/harvard-admissions-trial-asian-american-students/
"Currently, Asian-American students, who represent about 5% of public high school students, make up 22.9% of Harvard’s freshman class. Harvard data released as part of the lawsuit showed that admitted Asian-American students have a higher average SAT score and lower rate of admission than any other racial group. It also revealed that Asian-Americans would make up 43% of Harvard’s admitted class if only academics were considered."
The anti-intellectual response when you don't have anything intelligent to say yourself, attack the length of the argument you've got no response to. Speaking of which, do I know you? Have we ever had a conversation or are you just jumping straight into the ad hominem attacks? Maybe you used to go under another name?The Sig to Opponent word-count ratio is staggering. And she wants her word to be the last one.
even if you are certain you wont caught, don't do it, it is not worth, it eat you inside. time is a b***, once you are done, time will catch up on ya. best long terms investment is always doing a right thing and a right way, going prison is seriously a negative return by any measure. even if you dont ever caught, risk always outweighs benefit in criminal enterprise. those 50 ppl taught us a nice case study proving this.
