If it's private school: As long as the Asians keep applying in droves
despite being discriminated against, the schools can do whatever they want,
and should.
If it's public school: They can make a reasonable argument based on
equality that they should represent the tax-payers or the electorate.
Neither of which should particularly favor asians or the "superior" brainiac
or the supremely pushed.
In either cases, the size of pie (total enrollment for the "prestigious"
schools, medical schools, hospital residencies) is fixed or growing very
slowly. You can choose to throw a
lot of money at Ivies to send your kids in, or push your kids to the
limit of teenage endurance and take your chances. Or you can work towards
making the pie bigger, by building your own Ivies.
Equality and fairness all have different definitions. Harvard already have
15% Asian admissions, Berkeley has 40+% Asian admissions. How much more
fair do you want to be? What more do you ask for?
Don't ask what your community can do for you, ask what you can do for your
community. If there aren't enough spots for your superior kids, build
superior institions for them. Or they should build it for themselves.
The African-Americans have Howard U, jewish-americans have Brandeis and
Mount Sinai Hospital and Beth Israel Hospital. What is the Asian American
equivalent?
Americans helped build Tsinghua U, 协和医院，湘雅医院, etc。 They have done
their share. It's time we recognize that we need to do our own share of work instead of blindly cramming for tests and complaining our superiority is being discriminated against.
