You obviously don’t think Celsius will buy that crap I said. He/she needs to stop attacking people and concentrate on their work.
Lame is not as bad as it may sound in your country. In the US many people call their friends lame. It’s not as offensive as you may think here in the states.
40% wouldn’t be an issue if the US or California population was 40% Asian. That is not the case though. And yes, there are other universities that are not doing the same, but the thing is that they are not claiming to do it like Berkeley is. If Berkeley wouldn’t be saying diversity in every sentence, then I wouldn’t even bring it up. I don’t know where the “Africans are not the poorest” thing came from because I never said Africans were the poorest people in SF. I’ve never being to SF and I’m not African. I believe that is stereotyping in your part, but the reason Asians are the poorest is because SF has a large population of Asians that bring their family members from Asia illegally. Therefore, many of these people end up struggling with jobs and aid from the government. With that said, I believe that hard working Asians should be given the chance to work and stay in the US.
You’re right that everybody is entitled to say what they want. I hope kiledavid won’t get discourage by the word “lame” and lose sleep over it.
Regarding the ranking list you posted, if you go to the bottom of it you will see the words Shanghai Jiao Tong University which only makes it seem it’s a list for Asian students.
Re: kyledavid
At least I got you to say “Sure, Berkeley might not be comparable on the undergrad level.” I knew you would give in sooner or later.
10k can be overcome.
Yes, all top universities play politics.
Just because you’re white, doesn’t mean you don’t hate whites. This is very common. You know what you said.
The five 20’s idea isn’t bad, but there would have to be some arrangements for the ones you didn’t mention.
What vendetta against Berkeley? You need to stop thinking that everybody is attacking you. Stanford was probably tough for you and made you think that everybody is against you. That is not the case. Only because somebody disagrees with you or your job, doesn’t mean they hate you.
Many minorities other than Asians are being left out and I believe you’ve posted the stats several times. Just because Berkeley has 1% or 5% of a minority group, doesn’t mean they are being involved as they should. The fact is that these numbers only seem to be for political reasons. In order for other minorities to increase at Berkeley, some of the 40% students will have to be cut for students that have lower GPA’s or test scores. I know it sounds unfortunate, but it needs to be done in order for a foundation to be set for these other minorities. If they are not given a chance to compete, they will not be able to prove themselves and open doors for family members and their ethnicity groups. There might be a slight shift for Berkeley at first but it will adjust with time.
I never meant to offend the Asian race or put people down, but I know when we voice our opinions on issues of race, somebody will end up taking it the wrong way. I apologize if somebody got hurt. And yes, racism is still present even at Berkeley so if you let my words get you down then you better get ready for life because racism will probably be here for the rest of your lifetime.
Re Celsius:
Wow! Do you want an award for your discovery? Who the hell cares about your life? I don’t want to hear your lame personal life just because you got diss. I can see you’re weak by reading your last comment. Do me a favor, first look at yourself in the mirror. Ok, now slap yourself. Hopefully that will wake you up. Look, I can see that I can easily tear you apart and make you fail because everybody knows you don’t have what it takes to make it in the real world. You have weak written all over you. You obviously need a mentor to make it through Berkeley; I suggest you email kyledavid so he can hold your hand throughout college.
Your words make you sound like your writing and shaking with tears, you shouldn’t let it get to you that way. “I should keep my mouth shut,” what ever happen to letting people voice their opinions?<br>
I can tell you’re a young buck who needs to grow up and get ready for life. KevinSF gave me some good advice, so I’m not going to waste my time putting you down. I hope you succeed and do well at Berkeley, it will help the economy. Remember there are always community colleges where you can get a certificate in Business just in case Berkeley doesn’t work out. Don’t let lame people like me put you down; there are many like me all over. Good luck Celsius.</p>
