-SAT scores
-college acceptance
-admissions/enrollment

*disadvantages toward Asians for having academic advantages (aka:being /statistically/ smarter than other applicants)

"In this narrative, Asian people are the victims of any racial remedies. The long history of discrimination against Asians — and the real struggle Asians face in accruing cultural clout and ascending to the highest echelons of politics and business — are tied to the anchor of affirmative action."

**COUNTER// whites are (kindve) a l s o getting discriminated against:
"Underlying this thinking is the idea that there is some unadulterated metric that measures merit — one that often puts white people on top — but affirmative action takes away that advantage."
-basically discr. for being "better than other races" so that advantage is taken away ????

SAT docced points:
African American:1000
White:1310
Asian:1450
all can score the above scores, but in college's eyes have an equal rate of acceptance
--asians have to work harder than other races for the sake of being asian
-hard work is hard work and should not b determined by race

Admissions officers don’t read an application and say, “well, he’s Asian, I think I’ll pass.” Rather, discrimination against Asian Americans is indirect, propagated by a number of unfair heuristics that favor wealthy white students.”

I chose my topic of Asian discrimination in college and universities, (specifically the college acceptance of Asians) because as an asian american, I feel that there isn’t enough discussion about this topic; especially when seemingly rarely anyone knew this was an issue to begin with. 

2. I am very intrigued with the admission rate between races based on SAT scores. This rate means that between an Asian who scores a 1450, a white person who scores a 1310, and an African American who scores an 1000, they all have an equal admission rate —which clearly is not equal.

3. I did not know about the SAT scores and “equal” admission rates until I began to research my topic.

4. I am wondering if this discrimination towards Asians is also occurring in not just Ivy-League Universities, but also local colleges and UC’s. I also want to see if there has been any legal action against this issue (lawsuits, protests...)

       -likability
        -courage (??)
"The suit says Asian American applicants bring stronger academic records than any other race, yet they are admitted at the lowest rate. The group says that is because Harvard consistently gives them low scores on the personal rating, which, according to a document revealed by the group on Monday, is only loosely defined in Harvard policies."

-asians statistically have the strongest academic record. but accepted at lowest rate???
     -but according to Harvard lawyer:
“Race alone is never the reason a student is granted admission,” Lee said. “And race is never the reason a student is denied.”
-race should s u p p o s e d l y increase favoring/benefits but ONLY if you are black/white/hispanic/not asian
-not believable for 92% of the asians who apply to get shot down for being “not likeable” ...

I feel pretty satisfactory about my information so far, but think I should expand on it more. I have mostly  researched about affirmative action against Asians and the Harvard/Ivy League cases regarding the case, but feel that I need to dig a little deeper about the counter arguments and possibly what is being done to fix the issue.

2. I have mostly information regarding affirmative action, Harvard’s unfair application process, and the statistics of acceptance rates due to race.

3. I feel that I know my topic pretty well, but need to learn more about what is being done about this racism, any possible other cases about it besides major universities, and maybe even to see if careers/jobs are being cast away from Asians as well.

4. I think that my research gets a little messy when talking about the difference between African Americans and Hispanics to Whites and Asians in the academic world. (how each race benefits/ is discriminated against.)]]> 2019-02-26 17:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynnewin/t32fxdcbkxv7/wish/335503054 Blog #3: madelynnewin https://padlet.com/madelynnewin/t32fxdcbkxv7/wish/339158262 1. I think I will organize my ideas by doing first my introduction, then go on to explain the problem and examples of it from a few colleges. Then I will say what is being done to fix the issue, and any possible counter arguments.

2. I will need to refer to the fact that statistically Asian students do better in school, and how they aren’t being accepted into any major colleges.

3.I plan to keep track of my sources by outlining my ideas and finding any sources with the evidence to back up my claim in notes, and maybe writing down any quotes I think are necessary to make a reasonable argument.

4. For my introduction, I plan on referencing the typical Asian stereotype in school, and maybe even using my own life (my parents and how they want me to go to a good college) as an example. 

5. I think I will need around 4-6 paragraphs depending on how much information I can get.

I feel proud of what I created. I think I was passionate about my topic, and stayed true to my own writing style. The only thing i regret is the repetitive nature, and I wish i included more factors (such as wealthy white students) to add to the reason why Asians are discriminated against. I also do not like my conclusion, and feel that I didn’t end it with a very good ending.

2. I am most proud of my own ideas, and how these thoughts were from my own brain and not any one else.

3. The hardest part of the entire process was trying to make it flow, but still connecting the dots of how affirmative action relates to college admissions.

4. I have learned a lot about the college process and how unfair it is towards Asians.

5. I would want the world to know about every single detail about my topic because Asians aren't represented at all, and people don't focus on their current problems as they do with other races. This is just as much as racism as it would be if it happened to the black, white, Hispanic, or any other race. What irked me most was how when asked what my topic was by classmates, and I responded with "Asian College Discrimination," they were extremely confused because "Asians don't get any racism." I want to shed light on this one important issue so people would pay attention to other issues.]]> 2019-03-30 02:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynnewin/t32fxdcbkxv7/wish/346734702
