Description: Asian Americans are suing Harvard for illegally discriminating against them. The lawsuit forced Harvard to release admissions data which reveal that admitted Asian applicants score 22 points higher on the SAT than whites and 63 points higher than blacks. ---- So you don’t miss the weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: johnstossel.activehosted.com/f/1 ---- Harvard admits to using race as a factor in admissions for the sake of diversity. But the school says it does so without any hard quotas or race-based points system -- that they merely consider it informally. Past Supreme Courts have allowed that. But the Asians suing Harvard argue that the university gives them artificially low personality ratings to keep their admissions rate down, describing Asian Americans as " boring little grade grubbers."
