Harvard tries to represent America the best it can. The U.S. is less than 5% Asian, Harvard is 20% Asian. Harvard is already stretching itself as it is.

And every single one of those Asian kids worked their asses off to get in. Harvard would be more than 20% if they didn't rig the game against them. It's not like Chinese and Japanese Americans have a long history of privilege and power in the USA. Quite the opposite. See also, Japanese Internment Camps and the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Are you suggesting that Asians are the only ones who work hard to get into Harvard? The way I've come to understand this is that Harvard doesn't pick students soley on academic performance winch Asians tend to Excell on only. They pick who they see has the potential to make the largest impacts on society in the future. when you look at the people who went to Harvard, and had the greatest impact on society they weren't necessarily the one's with the greatest academic performance.

Hmmmm... that's how they use their racist bias to select against Asians.

Wow, you can look at someone and know their impact on society... What a load of horse manure... Seems to me you show your own racism for even saying that Asians only excel at academics, complete racist stereotype... You must be a liberal Democrat...

Irrelevant. They actively discriminate against Asians. If you're Asian, your SAT score has to be more than 100 points better than the competition, all other things being equal.
Harvard is playing the Affirmative Action game. The whole, "academics isn't everything" line of BS just gives enables them to decide that a few black kids with worse GPA's, 150+ worse SAT scores, coming from crappy High Schools just happen to be "people that are more likely to change society." And then most of those black kids can't handle the arduous academic standards of Harvard and most of them will drop out. Feel free to look it up. Black kids have the highest rate of dropping out and IMHO it's because they're being setup to fail by getting into schools they aren't actually good enough for. It also makes the black kids who did earn their way all along look bad as well.
If you earn everything you get in life, you will seldom find yourself out of your depth and hopelessly lost.

You either support the meritocracy or you are a racist.
Admission quota based on race is by definition racism.

Why is it Harvard's job to "represent America"? Ivy League schools, more or less by definition, do not represent America; they represent a very elite slice of America. Why, then, are they so bent out of shape because they have "too many" Asians and "not enough" of certain others?
If Harvard were solely privately funded, their racist discrimination would be annoying, but I would support their right to choose their student body according to whatever criteria they wished. But the fact is, Harvard (and almost every other college, public or private) receives a great deal of Federal support. And I do not want my tax dollars to support racist discrimination. It's wrong, it's illegal, and it should be stopped.
