<p>Using the “Guys and Dolls” analogy: If you are a girl – a soprano – with the best voice in your grade and you try out for “Guys and Dolls”, do you expect to get cast as the lead, Nathan Detroit? No. Why, because that role is not for you; it is a role for a guy. Unless you are attending an all-girls school, you will never get cast as Nathan Detroit – not in a million years, no matter how much more talented you are than the guy they ended up casting. Were you ever seriously in the running for that role? No. Were you ever in competition with the other guys auditioning for that role – no. The same goes with college admissions. Top asians are in direct competition with each other for the spots (roles) reserved for asians. If you are white – just like the girl in the “Guys and Dolls” example – you are not in direct competition with asians applying to the same school. Ditto with blacks, hispanics etc.</p>
