Asian Leaders in the US

<p>

OP: I find your post incredibly offensive. I’m sure Asian kids aren’t the only ones who particpate in extracurriulars for college, take a look around you next time and you’ll find plenty of kids of all races who are high achieving, who excel at extracurriculars and who aspire to attend an elite college.

I generally refer to the CC asians…not them as a whole. Obviously there’s a whole lot of them that do things because they enjoy them.

“You guys are so intelligent yet when it comes to leadership, I’m not seeing any (besides in high school because that’s “good for college” >_>). I mean, are you all just number crunchers and math/science whizzes?”

<p>Just this statement alone shows how insular your outlook is. You automatically assume (and feed into the stereotype) that all Asians participate in extracurriculars because they are “good for college.” and that all Asians are “number crunchers and math/science whizzes.” I know plenty of Asians, myself included, who participate in extracurriculars BECAUSE THEY LIKE THEM AND ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THEM, not because they just think it’ll look nice on their transcript. Also, not all Asians are “number crunchers and math/science whizzes” --did you even read what you wrote? For heaven’s sake, if you want to argue about why it’s so hard to get into top schools, how about you point out the preference shown to legacies or recruited athletes?
Don’t just point to one race and whine and say that race causes you not to be able to get into a top uni. Who says they don’t deserve to get into a top ranked school? Please. Grow up.

I generally refer to the ones on CC. Also, a majority are math/science whizzes. I’m not arguing about why it’s so hard to get into top schools…that is not the topic of this thread. </p>

<p>Please don’t derail it.</p>
