Introduction #

The recent Supreme Court decision striking down race-based college admissions has brought renewed attention to a longstanding issue: the systematic discrimination against Chinese students through affirmative action policies. For decades, these policies have imposed an unfair burden on Chinese applicants who have demonstrated academic excellence through hard work and dedication.

The Statistical Reality #

The numbers tell a stark story. Research has shown that Chinese applicants to elite universities need SAT scores hundreds of points higher than other applicants to have the same chance of admission. At Harvard, internal documents revealed that Chinese applicants consistently received lower “personality ratings” despite no evidence of actual personality differences, effectively implementing a quota system through subjective criteria.
