“Why do we all accept that what the Ivies did to limit Jewish enrollment was racist and un-American, while what they’re doing to limit Asian enrollment is not even considered newsworthy?”

Because Asians do not own a large percentage of the American media, as do Jews, which this article strategically fails to mention, control the admissions process at America’s Ivy League Universities.

Wow… and consider how many Jews check “white” on the demographic sheet on any application. Sad. If you guys control the media, which I don’t doubt, then why don’t you try to address this problem in justice & fairness like the Scriptures say ? I’m completely serious.

I think at the time, when the Ivies did limit Jewish enrollment, it was war time & the maneuver was considered non racist & a very American thing to do because they were the majority were non Jewish (thus non racist , atleast to them ) & thus as American as Pilgrim’s Progress by Paul Bunyan. In retrospect, finally, they did see some alleviation after they suffered terribly & it is no exaggeration. I mean, not to re-live the painful past but signs in Baltimore read, no blacks, no Jews. And the handful of other Asians were not considered colored, etc… So, maybe the entrance bar is hidden without blatant signs because, otherwise, it would be newsworthy. As long as the entrance bar is “hidden” there is “no discrimination”. I say sue them or let G*d take vengence. Afterall, they are experiencing the worst snow, hail & hurricaines that end up in fire- scriptural wake up calls. It’s sad but true. We need to wise up, America & be ethical …. I think Henry ’75 Cornell has the right idea.

Though that sounds elitist or maybe just annoyed, I understand your point and it is well taken. Credit really needs to be given where it is due. Matthew Hall should have researched obvious history moreseo for his “historical piece”//

Actually, Matthew– Koryo or what we know of Korea distinct life is 4346 yrs- it is now 2013. Approximately the same number of yrs as the Jewish milennia. They have a history 2000 yrs before Christ, as do Koreans. China’s is older than that. As a historical reminder they are the oldest civilization & had moveable print 200 yrs before it was “invented” in Europe. So, their identity is deeply ingrained in history way beyond american context. They (Koreans, Jews, Chinese, etc…) are Eastern and they share an Eastern culture which means they were not illiterate hunters with a false pretense of history.

Might some of the underrepresentation of very able non-Jewish whites and Asian-Americans at the Ivies be accounted for by such college students’ strong preference for instead choosing to enroll at one or another of the many faith-based colleges and universities?

You should do better than use one Harvard grad who worked in retail and President Obama as examples of why you don’t think Harvard lives up to its reputation.

Yes, we just went through that this past year with my mixed-race son. He was actually counseled to respond, of all things, “white” rather than run the risk of being penalized substantial points on standardized tests. Very disappointing indeed.

My consolation is that over the long haul, interracial marriages and children help to put a dent into the left’s glorious hypodescent schemes.
