Harvard is being sued for racial discrimination against Asian Americans in
there admissions policies.
They created set of personality criteria for admissions. The criteria
was entirely subjective, things like 'positive personality', and 'likability'.
Then gave Asians consistently low scores on theses subjective criteria. And
then weighed the criteria high enough to knock them out of positions which
they would have otherwise qualified for if the admissions was based on standard
academic criteria.
Bias and racism is predictable when you choose to abandon Meritocracy based on
objective measurable criteria.
