Very sad.

The discrimination in college admissions is the biggest civil rights issue Asian-Americans suffer from,” read a release inviting all members of the media to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Friday, where leaders from the Coalition of Asian-American Associations gathered to call for an investigation of the Ivy League school’s admissions practices.

It’s not the first time Harvard has been accused of capping the number of Asian-American students in its incoming classes. A November 2014 lawsuit by a group called Students for Fair Admissions made the same claim. That suit compared the school’s alleged Asian-American policies to its treatment of Jewish applicants nearly nine decades ago, when Harvard expanded its admissions criteria beyond academic achievement, essentially as a means of cracking down on the growing percentage of Jewish freshmen that then-president A. Lawrence Lowell feared would “ruin the college.”

Maybe it's time we also had an Asian-American female President who has excelled in school and as a Governor or Business leader.

I nominate Madam/e Chiang Kai-shek. Oh, she's no longer with us. If we can't find one, how about an Asian-American male President? Maybe the governor of Louisiana? Isn't it discrimination that we haven't had an Asian-American President? Should that be in blue? Maybe, maybe NOT.
