If you're Asian...

And for the Asians who stand out in their communities, they DO get accepted.



How about amending that to “and for ANYONE who stands out in their communities, they DO get accepted”.

I’m not even going to comment on the gross “generality” you seem to have formed about certain Asian subgroups. I’m not going to comment on how you believe that “most Chinese and Koreans apply to elite universities”. I’m definitely NOT going to comment on your assumptions that “the only thing they have it going is scores and marks”.

Sigh… I don’t know what to say anymore. People start the blame the system game. Then their parents and peers reinforce it. Then it becomes fact. It’s now just a voracious swirl of pseudo-factual self actualized misunderstanding of the entire system.
