Why is it harder for Asians to get into prestigious schools?

Been watching Stossel lately and this doesn't seem fair. How does the Asian stereotype of them being smarter justify the reason for it being harder for them to get into prestigious schools?

    Race ofcourse. White will find it easier, black will also find it easier but not as easy as white. Asians are still being discriminated at some ways.

    Well, not necessarily racism. Even Harvard and Princeton admitted looking harsher on Asian applicants that people of other races.

    It's not really justified and I (Korean) Think that it is unfair.

    Our race does not determine our material intelligence.

  • I don't know, there is no logic to racism, people are people, just because you come from somewhere else doesn't mean you are all of those things. I have met plenty of smart and stupid people from many different races, don't let it get to you.
