I salute those people like Dr. Woo who had the courage to speak about the truth. It is just un-American to discriminate Asian Americans on College Admimission. In fact, I think it is illegal. Judging people based on race, using "liability or personality" as an excuse is unacceptable. I am in the position of selecting students for the field I work in. I select students based on characters and merit, in stead of race concious policy. Although some of my colleagues accuse me of selecting too many Chinese students, I told them that they [students I picked] had the best overall perfomance in terms of interview, community service, GPA, reference letter, etc. To deliberatively not to select them is against my conscience. I had discussed this issue with my boss who is white, and she supports my decision. I am doing my job with clear conscience, and hope others have the same as well. We need to fight for equal opportunities, and right the wrongs.
