Asians comprised 53.7 percent of those admitted, whites 27.9, Hispanics 5.4, and African Americans 3.6.


Here's something I've always wondered ......clearly the Asian kids that are here and/or born to immigrants that are here do better in the admission tests..... Is the answer to this question the fact that the immigrants are more capable than those they left behind and hence are producing offspring that do better scholastically than average native American kids..?... ie would the Asian kids back home do as well on our elite HS tests as the Asian diaspora here...??? It takes a special kind of person to leave his homeland and emigrate elsewhere.....

everyone knows the Chinese really value education and their kids have to study and work hard to please their parents, others just have to study and work as hard to match them.

In my day, if you couldn’t pass an exam that simply tests your knowledge on a given subject—you were called stupid. Now you’re called "oppressed."
Oppressively stupid? :-)
