Black Privilege: Students Get SAT Bonus Points for Being Black or Hispanic – Asians Are Penalized

Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, February 25, 2015

A report in the LA Times revealed that blacks and Hispanics get bonus SAT points at elite universities based on their race. Asian students however are penalized 50 points due to their race. The LA Times reported, via DownTrend:

Lee’s next slide shows three columns of numbers from a Princeton University study that tried to measure how race and ethnicity affect admissions by using SAT scores as a benchmark. It uses the term “bonus” to describe how many extra SAT points an applicant’s race is worth.
 
She points to the first column.
African Americans received a “bonus” of 230 points, Lee says.

She points to the second column.
“Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points.”

The last column draws gasps.
Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points — in other words, they had to do that much better to win admission.

“Do Asians need higher test scores? Is it harder for Asians to get into college? The answer is yes,” Lee says. “Zenme keyi,” one mother hisses in Chinese. How can this be possible?

Downtrend also noted that college athletes also receive bonus points during the application process.....This Appeared Here…..
