Affirmative action hurts Indians more than white kids.

Associating with the legacies is the whole point.

Chemistry majors at State U are learning the exact same stuff as chemistry majors at Yale.

You go to Ivy League schools to associate with the children of the rich and powerful. That’s why they’re prestigious. If they were filled with Asian and Indian nerds then that would defeat the purpose of why Asians and Indians wanted to go there so badly in the first place, which is the prestige downstream of the extraordinarily high social status of the rich, elite, white students.

I was referring more to Engineering, science disciplines, and Medical school. And I'm guessing you're on the West Coast where there are more Asians than Indians. I grew up in NJ and just being better than most kids wasn't enough. You had to be better than most Indians. It's a thing. Not making it up

From my perspective, most of the parents came here for schooling. Like grad school and stuff. So they value education as that's what got them out of poverty and into the "land of prosperity". So that's the value parents give their children. It's outdated and dumb

Focusing on education is outdated and dumb?
