Harvard Lawsuit

I would think athletes would be way more black than white, but maybe I'm only looking at certain big-draw sports like basketball and football?

The whole "personality" thing is just a ruse; totally biased to limit Asians. They are given lower scores automatically, and it's completely subjective (how in the world can you rater personality?). Extra-curricular I'm not certain about. My son already knows that he's going to need lots of extra-curricular stuff to get into a good school. All of the kids who want to be in the Honor Society are required to have a certain number of hours of community service every semester. Same with some of the clubs. So this is not a good excuse not to have EC stuff during HS - they know it's required, and know it's looked at by colleges. That's easy enough to get for anyone.

In another report I read, they accounted for legacy & athletes, and still came up with something like 35% should be Asian based on qualifications.

The fact that the schools are all talking to each other and limiting Asians as a whole is the real problem here. One rogue school might be explained away. But when all of the most prestigious universities all have the exact same numbers, year after year, I think we've got a problem.
