New & Powerful Proof of Discrimination Against AsAms
The following diagram is about
ACCEPTANCE rates. Students of very
similar performance, shown in 3 different combinations of MCAT & GPA, experience very different acceptance rates.
Asian
applicants have
the lowest acceptance rates in all 3 cases
, consistently lower than even those
of their
white peers.
To achieve diversity is to let Hispanic & black peers have an advantage.
80-20 is for that. However,
why do Asian applicants have to yield to white peers
? For minorities like Asians to be forced to yield to white peers is the RESERVE of
Affirmative Action. The extreme abuse of affirmative Action is proof possible that AsAms are being
DISCRIMINATED!
See below for a bar chart
released by the American Enterprise Institute, based on a table released by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)
.
Asian Am. parents often proudly talk about how they are willing to sacrifice for
their children's education.
Do they?
So many of them don't even dare to
speak up against the open discrimination against their children, much less organizing to fight against the discrimination in college admissions.
Too many AsAms are too timid. Look at 80-20, we have
always stuck our necks out to achieve justice and equal opportunity for all.
We are
NOT in trouble at all. Wake up, AsAms. The bar chart shows the the discrimination against our educational opportunity has EXTENDED to
GRADUATE SCHOOLS
.
Step up and be counted!
On the Legal Front -
Fighting Against Discriminative Admissions
Mr. Ed Blum, the well-known legal strategist, has initiated yet another lawsuit against the Univ. of
Texas to stop "race preference" admissions. Click here to hear a powerful 2 :28 minute video message by Blum and a young AsAm lawyer, Cory Liu,
a Harvard Law School graduate.
Cory, we are so proud of you for serving as a volunteer
Executive Director for SFFA (Students for Fair Admissions). Not enough of us are helping Blum.
If you had followed Mr. Blum's lawsuits closely,
you would have noticed that his lawsuits are increasingly focused on the discrimination against AsAm
students.
Shame on our financially well-off community, which sat by and let Blum fight for us
. Our rich individuals, who gave
tens to hundreds of millions of dollars to Harvard for naming a building after themselves, should
particularly
feel this shame
.
80-20 EF is doing its best to assist Blum. 80-20 EF has
increased its annual contribution to SFFA from $5,000/yr to $10,000/yr. and strived to recruit
members for SFFA.
Let's all try to do more.
Are you a parent of students who belong to ECAASU (East Coast
Asian American Student Union)?
That organization supports "race-preference" admissions. Please forward this email to them. Call to discuss with
them the difference between supporting diversity versus giving white peers advantages over AsAm students. Even the editorial board of Harvard's student paper, Crimson, questioned why AsAm applicants need to
yield
140 SAT points to white peers in order to gain equal access to elite colleges.
Some of the ECASSU members will be applying for medical schools. Tell
them to wake up, they will be discriminated against in their application to
Graduate schools.
