Again, I've stated numerous times that I have no real opinion on the subject because I don't know enough about it and I've not been directly affected by it in a long time. Please don't put words into my mouth that I've not said - especially when I've gone to great lengths to explain my non-position of devil's advocate.
I think you give Buchanan more credit than he deserves. Ever since he was suspended/fired by MSNBC he doesn't have a national platform unless you count his column. As for Rush, you're right but I can't see I've heard a word he said in years...

I don't know about anyone else, but I"m certainly not.

Why would I when you're not even aware of what kind of "Indians" we're speaking of?

It would also be nice if America had an organization called "The Asian Indian Panthers"

I'm speaking of "AMERICAN INDIANS" & "ASIAN AMERICANS"

Do-Gooders pick and choose "their pets"

They (College Board) try to make the 500 score the mean so a 1000 would be the mean on the old system while a 1500 would be mean on the new system...
Or, if we apply our critical thinking skills, could we not draw the following conclusion...?

1. We have an interest in constructing a scenario in which a group should be more represented than it is, although it is represented in excess of its prevalence in the population, and thereby have an interesting question of whether that group has been discriminated against (with echoes of the anti-Jewish quotas in the Ivys through the beginning of the last century)

2. We have three measures, two of which are influenced by English proficiency.

3. We have a population descended from people who did not speak English as a first language.

4. Therefore, if we knock out one of the two measures dependent on English language proficiency -- indeed, the one most dependent on English language proficiency -- we find that the student in question will "average" a higher score on the other two measures in order to actually get the same combined score as a competing applicant (or for that matter, a lower combined score.)

5. This is of course a hypothesis. However, to say "based on two out of three measures, here are the facts..." begs the question as to why one omitted one of the three measures.

I'll leave it to others to explain the pros and cons of a system that so emphasizes a standard understanding of English as an admission standard for a private university.

I know it messes the liberal brain all up to even think about it because in their butterfly chasing dream world we are all supposed to be the same, they tell us this because of their sickness of not wanting to "offend" hide the truth is their solution to everything but could it be that Asians Happen To Be God Given SMARTER than some other races, is that possible, Dear God Forbid, is it possible that certain people of different cultures and races are really after all, DIFFERENT.

Is it possible that the Asians are far more intelligent than "The White Bastards"

I have an Asian Doctor, smartest man I have ever known, came to this country all alone with nothing but a pair of pants, a shirt and one shoe, he did it all alone, just him and his Brain.

There are people that are so Politically Correct that they are trying to stop people from using the words "Politically Correct"---------------?
