    "Only a tiny number of black students were offered admission to the highly selective public high schools in New York City on Monday, raising the pressure on officials to confront the decades-old challenge of integrating New York’s elite public schools.

    At Stuyvesant High School, out of 895 slots in the freshman class, only seven were offered to black students. And the number of black students is shrinking: There were 10 black students admitted into Stuyvesant last year, and 13 the year before.

    Another highly selective specialized school, the Bronx High School of Science, made 12 offers to black students this year, down from 25 last year."

    WOW, just wow. What's going on in NYC? Is there a solution short of killing the schools as is by lowering standards?

    If they didn't make the scores to get in, then I don't see a problem here. Sorry they couldn't make it. It shouldn't be given out to them just based on their skin color.

    Just take the best students regardless of color. If that pisses people off, so be it.

    If we can't ask if someone is a citizen on the census form, then color shouldn't be asked on the school application.

    There you go. In CA the same exams used to qualify for graduation are considered racist.

    So you libs out there, what should qualify a kid to get into a school, any school?

    Before all you libs get triggered, consider how many white kids get football scholarships and do the math.

    I don't see why anyone would have a problem with this, they either made the score or they didn't.

    You’re not taking into account the liberal mindset, all they see is color and not logic.

    Wow, did you guys read the article? I found this point interesting, what do you think?

    Are whites becoming the new blacks and will Asians start to discriminate against whites. They can claim whites have low IQ, lower education, lower income and higher incarceration rates. Should marks be the only thing schools should consider when admitting applicants? Is it different when it starts to affect white people?

    I'm not surprised the Asian children have the higher scores not more than I'm surprised the black kids have the lower scores.

    Yep, as I’ve posted many times here on PF........that is the reality for IQ scores.......although the difference between Northern Asians and Whites is pretty small......but the difference between Whites and blacks is significant.

    It’s not unusual to see smart whites and blacks, but the Asians have a more disciplined and serious outlook on education and it gets results. While some people are literally stupid (AOC comes to mind) most people can be educated if they have the desire and work ethic.

    A while back I posted a video of black kids kicking the crap out of another black kid because he made the Dean’s List.

    Another interesting point is:
    It kind of destroys the argument that one of the main factors minorities do not do as well in school is due to the fact they come from low income households.

    If you have watched the National Spelling Bee in recent years children of Indian ethnicity have dominated.

    Oh but there is a problem with this.... NY, SF, LA liberals want the affirmative action to work at the expense of your kid and mine, they have absolutely no intention to give the spots of their own children to underprivileged black NY students and send their precious descendants to public schools. none whatsoever.

    I'm empathetic towards the idea that blacks are starting from a disadvantaged place in society due our history, but when I try to imagine Asians coming from the same circumstances and having the same results... well I just can't see it.

    No, because Asian-Americans only constitute about 3% of the population, about the same as Jewish-Americans, who also constitute an overclass. The same thing happened in California colleges after the people approved the measure banning racial preferences in college admissions... black & Hispanic admission dropped but Asian admission went way up, meaning it was the Asian-Americans who were being disproportionately disadvantaged by affirmative action. Only about 30% of AA's vote Republican, while their social views (very conservative) and economic interests (the wealthy and the want-to-be-wealthy) line up perfectly with the Republican party, meaning the Republicans have done a poor job in conveying their message to this group.

    I'm sure a certain percentage of these kids have parents that didn't mind paying bribes for their admission either.

    Republicans mainly represent evangelicals and corporations. It’s not their messaging that’s the problem.

    Race should not be an allowed factor in college admissions.
    Legacy and donations should also not be a factor.

    Unlike rich whites who score high in testing the assumption is that non whites must had cheated if their scores are too high an are often order to retake tests.

    Highly amusing given the ongoing testing scandals that is in the news of late involving large bribes by white parents in the main.

    You nailed it

    IQ is not the deciding factor

    Its effort

    Asian kids work harder

    Seems like a reasonable compromise to me. Kudos.
