I agree with you totally. There was another thread concerning an Asian American student (Jian Li) suing Princeton for discrimination that garnered a lot of posts spouting racial stereotypes. In fact, many of those who posted extensively on that thread are here again.

Do yourself a favor and spend three or four years talking to asian students on THIS board, and you may have a better idea about the pressure placed upon asian students in the context of highly selective schools.

Exactly how many actual Asian students have done this? Fifty? One hundred?As you well know, there are many students who remain on this board for years and they could have done multiple posts in multiple threads (just like this one) about the same topic. And we are not addressing the trolls here.
And how many Asians have you talked to in the real world ( just to get a more accurate sample) that have never complained that their parents were controlling and abusive? Strict, yes, but abusive, hardly.
