Apparently they believe all Asians are rich, smart, and have enough money to send their kids to private schools with private tutors.
The Chinese officials' sons and daughters have no problems there. Harvard is actually punishing the middle class Asian students. So I agree with your other post.

Or the NHL....funny how no one ever mentions THAT league.
Not true.
The NHL has spent millions of dollars in the name of creating "diversity in hockey." Wanting more black, LGBTQ+, different religions, etc...players/fans.
So has the MLB as the number of black players are down. (White players are down too - Latin American players are on the rise) The MLB openly talks about how they are trying to increase their black players.
Not saying right or wrong but title 9 destroyed most male college sports except football and basketball.
With that said, most lower income top athletic talent (which tends to skew black) is in most cases not going to gravitate to other sports for a variety of obvious reasons.
People continue to confuse IQ and education. IQ is pretty much set at birth (though you can increase it a bit over your lifetime, if you obsessively read non-fiction, and spend all your life around those who think logically). Education is simply the presentation of information (which may or may not be true) and, in a perfect world, teaching pupils how to think logically.
All the education in the world will not turn someone with an IQ of 80 into a competent engineer, or doctor, or other professional that needs to problem-solve. What education can do, is make the most of what brainpower a person has to work with. Unfortunately, because IQ is statistically distributed in the population as a normal or "Bell Curve," most people have IQs around 100, with half being "smarter" than normal and half being more intellectually challenged than normal. Nothing will change that (without getting into government management of reproduction). Trying to get 100% graduation rates, or trying to eliminate the racial academic achievement gap, can only be accomplished by dumbing down the standards, and playing tricks like removing all the harder test questions.
Of course, now that our education system has been taken over by the Progressives with their infinite pot of (stolen) money, it serves the same function that Catholic schools serve: to churn out future Americans who will think the way those who set the curriculum want them to think (i.e., no questioning authority, no researching on your own, thinking in short sound bytes, accepting whatever the "authority figure" tells you, etc.). In other words, brainwashing as a replacement for education.
I attended an event where the superintendent of schools spoke to the community. He was talking about the differences between various ethnic groups in academic test results. He told the audience that he firmly believed that in 20 years that there would be no difference in academic performance and test scores between Black, White, Asian and Hispanic students. Then someone asked if there would any difference in test scores between rich and poor students. He doubled down and said that in twenty years that gap would be eliminated too.
Everyone clapped and looked so proud of themselves for being in a society where this could happen.
Do YOU think there will be a time in your life where all races and income levels will be equal in academic performance?
I find it absurd that we report how well students do based on race, and you wonder why this country has a probablm with racism. How about you just report this kind of stuff based on schools, districts, etc?
