University of Maryland wants in on the Ivy League’s anti-Asian racism | Washington Examiner

The justification offered for this is that students of Asian extraction are not underrepresented at Maryland. But of course, this is the seedy underbelly of affirmative action the racial discrimination that it requires. The way these numbers are being presented, every Asian student accepted at Maryland counts against the school s efforts at diversity and inclusion. This means that students of Asian descent, even if they are more qualified, will be passed over for those belonging to more preferred racial groups.

Asian-Americans should see the writing on the wall. The Left has fully embraced the idea that they can now be discriminated against in admissions, just like whites. It is no better to discriminate against whites, of course, but now, discrimination in the name of diversity will be leveled against an even larger group of student applicants.

This evokes the manner in which Ivy League schools overtly discriminate against Asian applicants. The Trump administration tried to do something about anti-Asian discrimination in admissions at Yale, but one of President Joe Biden s first acts in office was to drop the Justice Department s lawsuit and let the discrimination continue.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will have to decide whether to consider a private lawsuit against Harvard for the same display of anti-Asian prejudice. Harvard s practice is particularly pernicious, as the school deploys some of the very ugliest anti-Asian stereotypes in its quest to reduce the number of Asians admitted. As it once did with Jews, Harvard s admissions office lowballs the personality scores that it assigns to Asian applicants so that even the ones with higher levels of academic achievement can be passed over in favor of non-Asians with lower levels of achievement. All this racism in order to achieve diversity really makes one wonder whether it is worth it.

Maryland s embrace of this anti-Asian ideology shows that it isn t just an Ivy League problem.
