Asian-American groups accuse Harvard of discrimination- Ausia Jones


Although, Asian-Americans have the lowest acceptance rates at Harvard University and other elite universities, the complaint alleges, despite having some of the highest test scores and overall academic achievement.It's an argument that the school staunchly denies. And it's a case that's been made before. In November a lawsuit from Students for Fair Admissions Inc. challenged Harvard's admissions policy and argued it discriminates against Asian-American students.Harvard says it reviews each applicant's background and personal characteristics, including -- when relevant -- the applicant's race or ethnicity, as one of the many factors in its admissions process. Racism is still a problem for all races not just African Americans seen on social media, etc.

  1. It seems that this country has no bounds in the depths that it will go to in categorizing and discriminating different groups of people. I do not have a solution to this problem, but it does make me very sad.
