Let's Try This Again

Let's Try This Again | We need Affirmative Action so there would be more minorities in universities instead of whites. In 2013, Harvard reduced Asian student admission quota from 26% to 19% b/c there were too many Asian students. *womp* *womp* | image tagged in affirmative action,college,minorities,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

This is fact from Harvard's demographic reports. So... yes, it is what happened. And it is not that uncommon, I've witnessed similar events with people in my life. My friend's son got into UC Berkeley, but the quota prevented him from entering in the fall semester, so he can only enter in spring.

"Harvard sued for alleged discrimination against Asian American applicants" - The Guardian (June 2018)

"Justice Dept. Backs Suit Accusing Harvard of Discriminating Against Asian-American Applicants" - New York Times (Aug 30, 2018)

"The personal rating kept Asians to 26 percent of admissions in 2013. Harvard then made “demographic” adjustments that further reduced the class to 19 percent Asian, which magically appears to be the same percentage of Asians that's been admitted to Harvard for years. Ivy League schools used similar criteria and methods early in the last century to avoid admitting Jewish students." - Chicago Tribune (June 26, 2018)

People are free to disagree, but please in the future provide your research instead of just blatant baseless accusations.
