<p>And why should you single out the “Asians” on CC? There are plenty of people of all races here, with plenty of kids with amazing stats of ALL RACES. Why choose to, when you are talking to your parents, refer EXPLICITLY to “top schools with all these Asians who have crazy-good stats?” </p>
<p>I know this is not the topic of the thread, but you yourself state that you used this reasoning as to why it’s hard to get into a top school. Just tell your parents that there are incredibly smart students competing with you–why drag in race at all? </p>
<p>I don’t believe that you are racist, I just find your statement to be offensive as you were singling out Asians as your main source of competition. You knew that this could happen (“I’m very sorry if this comes off as horribly racist”) so I do think that you should have couched your question in a different manner. </p>
<p>I’m done.</p>
