true and false-it depends how you judge merit

Here's what often, even generally, happens. The college already knows what kind of mix they want. But using only objective criteria like test scores (and a few other measurements) they probably will be over-represented by some ethnic groups and under-represented by others. Or maybe too many of one gender, at least according to what their diversity goals are. So the college must resort to subjective criteria, where they can control the outcomes; who gets in and who doesn't. Subjective criteria, like having an "outgoing personality", can mean anything you want it to mean; therefore the college can manipulate the criteria until they get the mix they want. Definitely won't result in the best and brightest student body, but it will look politically correct.

My biggest problem is, there are careers where I want to know the people are the best and brightest available. These include medicine, engineering, and aviation, to name a few. I could care less what criteria a liberal arts college uses to select their students for majors like Women's Studies or Sociology, or even History majors. I don't care what criteria is used even for an MBA program. But there are some majors that should NEVER be compromised. Their students should always be chosen on academic merit.
 
Race has nothing to do with being accepted in to Harvard or any other college/university. If you have the best SAT scores and a 3.75 or better then there's no problem. This liberal/Demo racial ideology must stop.
 
They discriminate against stupid people, if they truly wanted diversity and to help the world they'd take in more dumb asses and educate them. If you can get into Harvard or Yale you already know ****, how bout taking in a few that don't know **** and teach them a thing or three.

True diversity doesn't stop at ones skin color, no, dumb is a lot more then skin deep.

The racial/ethnic breakdown of Harvard's student body is as follows:

White- 50% (25% Jewish)
Asian- 22%
African American- 15%
Latino- 12%

Interestingly, the only racial/ethnic group that appears to be grossly underrepresented at Harvard are non-Jewish whites. A simple look at the demographics of the USA, compared with Harvard's student body, illustrates who's really not wanted on campus;

White (non-Jewish) - 63%
White (Jewish) - 2%
Asian- 5.6%
African American- 12%
Latino- 17%

Any obsession I may possess pales in comparison with Harvard University's, don't you think? 1/4 of their admissions are reserved for them.
 
White people who are Jewish are still white

Wow, that's mighty white of you. I seriously doubt most Jews care what you consider them to be. I sure don't.

Then they don't care much about what science says they are. The majority of Jewish people in the world trace their ancestry back to southern Europe, iirc.



I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Is there some detail you can provide, like on the conspiracy thread?
Don't forget the media and Hollywood. WAY over represented there. You have yet to define white or provide any evidence of your assertions. I guess they are then just opinions. Well I can see where they came from.

Harvey Weinstein, Roman Polanski, Matt Lauer, Woody Allen, Bryan Singer, Dustin Hoffman, Jeffrey Tambor, Mark Halperin, Leon Wieseltier, James Toback, Israel Horowitz, Al Franken, James Levine, Jeremy Piven, Brett Ratner, Michael Oreskes, Bruce Weber...all very fine people, right? They supported the right candidates, donated generously to the ADL and JWC....Very Fine People.


We are over represented there. We decided at our last meeting to branch out more.

Where to? Maybe they'll raze Gaza soon, and then there will be more prime real estate available. AIPAC and Sheldon Adelson should put in a call to Trump. Maybe Trump will bomb all the residents of Gaza to death in one massive airstrike, so Israel can have more ocean front property.

You are aware that Adelson & most of the Hollywood types you mentioned are opposed politically? I am AMERICAN of Jewish decent not Israeli. Its true many Jewish people support Israel. Apparently its also the rage among evangelicals. So what? Many AMERICAN Irish support Ireland. Many AMERICAN Italians support Italy. I'm not a huge supporter of Israel but they have a right to exist. They turned desert into a thriving country. They have been attacked numerous times and there is more than enough blame to go around.


You still have not provided a definition of "white" that you have used. Why is that? It couldn't be because what you really mean is white Christian? Or Anglo Saxon Protestant? I have to go now, phone conference on the latest updates to World Domination. Happy Fathers Day.

Yes, they are American citizens, and for the sake of hiding amongst the majority, they'll even pretend that they consider themselves to be white.

From the NYT:

"Harvard, one of the most sought-after and selective universities in the country, admitted only 4.6 percent of its applicants this year. That has led to intense interest in the university’s closely guarded admissions process. Harvard had fought furiously over the last few months to keep secret the documents that were unsealed Friday".

Harvard wouldn't have legally fought requests for making their admissions process public if they had nothing to hide.

And Trump would have testified if he had nothing to hide.

See how that works?
 
truthatallcost said:
No, the fact that 2% of the population used our legal system against us in order to insert themselves as the majority in Ivy League schools like Harvard has been very eye opening.

What's there to fear? The control is already in place. You fear anyone shining a light on that control.

'us'? is that what that Islamic republic flag is supposed to represent, 'us'? No. As an american christian, I DO NOT stand with anyone who waves that garbage flag. If jews are what you fear, then I hope they control every lever of american society, solely to piss you off. I'd rather be homeless under jewish control, than a king in Iran, at least we would be free of Islam. Death to the ayatollah and may his body be consumed by pigs!

Have you ever thought that maybe, Jews are just smarter? I don't see many muslim countries with Jews, and they're all backwards compared to us in the west, who welcome them as full members of society.

Then they're white then lol, I guess harvard doesn't discriminate against white people afterall lol Which is it, are Jews white, or not? You're the one that cares, so you have to answer it and stay consistent. Your taqiyya does not work here.

Are they really politically opposed? Neoconservatives and neoliberals both;

1) Support Israel
2) Want open borders and amnesty
3) Support using the US military to improve national security for Israel, even if it weakens American national security
4) Support military intervention in nonessential conflicts, such as Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc.
5) Give only superficial support to issues like helping the poor & women's rights, while personally abusing those groups.

Irish Americans don't place a higher value on their heritage than their nationality. They are Americans first, and Irish second.

When you steal someone's land and relegate them to second class citizen status, they're going to attack you for it. Funny how that works.

Why don't you blame the European Jews for starting the conflict, the same way you blame American Christians for starting the conflict with Native Americans?

Nope. I've already stated that most Jewish are white, so I obviously don't conflate religion and race. Perhaps you do.

Out of curiosity, why do you have an issue with Jewish people? I never understood why they recieve such animosity towards them.
