> [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > When FMI compares me to birthers it just makes you guys look fucking silly. It’s pretty much the same sort of willful ignorance. Obama Birthers ignore all piles of contradictory evidence (especially if it comes from the President or his administration), hold onto their misguided beliefs no matter what, and will dig their heels into any piece of weak evidence that supports them no matter how tenuous it is or how badly they may be misunderstanding that evidence. They believe everyone else is “in on it” and that it’s therefore a conspiracy. Much like you, you ignore all evidence that weakens your position, especially if it’s coming from admissions officers. You hold onto your belief of anti-Asian discrimination no matter what, and you will hook into any piece of weak-ass evidence you can get your hands on, even if you abuse basic statistics and misunderstand things horribly (3-to-1 disparity, AI, etc). You assume all the admissions officers are “in on it” and are just keeping quiet/hiding behind “soft criteria.” So tell me again why this comparison is so flawed, again? Don’t, actually, because you’re just going to make more bullshit excuses anyway. > [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > Prove? As in I can take it to court and get a verdict purely based on the strength of that fact, then of course you are right but there is apparently enough there to launch a FEDERAL INVESTIGATION (or is thye federal government a bunch of birther like crackpots too?). Investigations don’t mean anything will come from them. Obama went through the trouble of having exceptions pulled so he could have all his birth certification information released to the public. Do you think people were investigating him because there was merit to the case or because something fishy was going on? No. It’s because people are dumbasses and the administration wanted to put a cap on the misinformation/ignorance being spread about the notion because it was getting ridiculous. Statistical issues are complex matters and ripe targets for media sensationalism due to oversimplification and naively arrived-at conclusions. It doesn’t mean there’s a smoking gun. All sorts of investigations get opened up all the time. > [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > Just say it, they don’t want that many Asians in their student body and they discrimiante against Asians in order to achieve that purpose." Again, this kind of language is misleading. Again, word choice matters. Again, I have to explain this shit to you. Yes, colleges want diversity. No, colleges don’t necessarily want any one given race to be unfairly overrepresented. They try to strike a balance after taking into account all the variables they can. But the desire to achieve a balanced, diversified student body is NOT the same as saying “They want to put a lid on the Asian population and discriminate against them/hold them to higher standards.” You don’t seem to understand the difference. It’s a really, really obvious difference here and your two-bit, molasses-filled, heavily-rusted, retardedly worthless sponge of a brain is somehow unable to make the connection. > [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > Did you think that I was trying to say that admissions committees are engaged in some sort of conspiracy (as FMI likes to characterize my argument)? Yes. Why do you act like this is so shocking? Are you that ignorant that you don’t understand the definition of a conspiracy? You constantly say crap like this: > [@Harvard and Princeton Targeted in U.S. Asian-American Discrimination Probe](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/harvard-and-princeton-targeted-in-u-s-asian-american-discrimination-probe/611636/220): > > Every college pretends that they have this holistic approach, that they treat every applicant as an individual. They pretend to recognize the unique snowflake within You think college admissions officers are lying and “pretending.” When I give you primary source material (such as the MIT adcom’s blog, or references to the Harvard admissions officer, etc), you outright say you don’t trust them. You’re assuming that all these top schools are full of untrustworthy admissions officers who are somehow trying to keep quiet about how they supposedly discriminate against Asians. How is what you are arguing here NOT a conspiracy? > [@Harvard and Princeton Targeted in U.S. Asian-American Discrimination Probe](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/harvard-and-princeton-targeted-in-u-s-asian-american-discrimination-probe/611636/220): > > Now I realize that FixMyIgnorance that likened this complaint about discrimination to playing the race card but I figured I’d give you a chance to start distancing yourself form some of the stupider shit he said because you certainly didn’t do it in the GD thread. Playing the race card = making a baseless accusation that you’ve been impinged upon in some way strictly because of your race. This is what Jian Li did. He got rejected from a bunch of top schools and whined that it was because he was Asian. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/damuri-ajashi-you-are-a-moronic-troglodyte-of-a-crackpot/613099)._
