really? which stream you in? if you're in ENG SCI, MECH ENG or ECE ENG, you will not have time for social life.
and anyways, i forgot to mention. universities like UBC shoot asian kids down. you need like a B in grade 12 english or toefl or other really good english qualifications, or to get 30/40 on this english essay test.
i got 26/40 on that test, so i declined to go to UBC and went to UofT

I think you might have completely misunderstood me. That kid worked hard for what he did and the other parent assumed it was because of his race. I was talking about the "but fuck, I worked hard for it" being level-headed. The white mother's fucking retarded to go up to some random asian KID and tell him he's the cause of her problems.

If this isn't racism, I don't know what is.
Getting good grades comes at the cost of getting social skills. I know from personal experience that many Asians at the schools I've attended are shy, emotionally suppressive, and cocky when it comes to academic competitions.
People, you're going to be the best at whatever your time is invested in. If you spend all your time doing homework and studying, then that means you spent none of your time developing other skills.
There's a reason why America is one of the most powerful nations in the world, and why many desire to live here. You think whites are lazy? All of our founding fathers were white. Don't try and give me any shit about how America isn't "only white", and how it's success is because of its diverse racial mix...it isn't. According to Wiki's demographics for the US, white people make up 78.4% of the population. The rest of the percentages are split up between African American, Asian, Indian, and many others.
Consider this : Many countries have to build walls to keep people IN. The USA has to build walls to keep people OUT. You KNOW what I'm talking about. Illegal immigration is a huge issue over here as of right now.
Anyone hating on my country has no justifiable right to. Jealous bastards.

I think that schools shouldn't recruit students internationally. These traditional Chinese immigrants are only going to take these skills back with them, create a China-centric prejudice in the business world, and probably try to get a job in China or other developing country for an international corporation.
This is where wage workers get paid equivelent to 100 dollars a month working 40 hours a day.
It's anti Chinese in reality, to support this cannibalistic, oppressive system. We should allow them to make a living for themselves.
It's neo-fuedalism, with the fuedal overlords bartering the labor of the infitessimally poor serfs below them. China needs a change.
It really talks to you when people like Savior decline visitng China for the Olympics because of human rights. Sure we have alot of things we need to do as well, Americans and Westerners are just as complicit in the abuse of the poor workers as the regional overlords and business leaders.

The hilarious part is 2 years ago they were complaining about too many girls dominating the sats and flooding some courses with some universitys having lower entrance scores for men. Now they complain that theres too many asians in the system. So they raise it?

Yeah I'm really jealous that the majority of white people in the states have been brainwashed into believing in a magic man in the sky, believe that all life on earth just magically appeared because of god and are dumb enough to take fox news seriously enough to make it the most watched news station. Yeah, real jealous...

Okay, I don't see why many people say getting good grades comes at the cost of getting social skills. I'm Asian, I am getting pretty good grades in university and I still go out Fridays and Saturdays. Sure, I don't get completely wasted like the the rest of my friends, both white and Asian...but it doesn't mean I can't socially interact with other people. Yeah there are a lot of Asians who can't interact socially with other people but you know what? There are a ton of white people who can't either! A Caucasian friend of mine who's completely brilliant did nothing but solve math problems during our prom. Apparently, this isn't as big of an issue compared to some Asian who is too shy to talk at a social gathering.

You seriously think a B in english 12 is hard to get? How is requiring students to have a basic level of english profiency = shooting asian kids down? Have you been to UBC? I go there, and there's a shitton of asians. In science, I'd say 2/3 are asian. In my program, asians are 80%+.

Because, like I said in my post, spending all your time studying means not spending all your time interacting. Ever hear of the concept of a trade-off?

Ever heard of a euphemism? Not everyone spends ALL their time studying. Yeah there are the extremes who study in the library 24/7 while taking like 3 minute breaks to inhale their food and rush back to studying. But there are also people who compromise and allot a percentage of time for studying and partying.

Where do you live? I'm from Hawaii and the majority of our population is asian (over 50%) and we have just as many well-adjusted and socially apt kids who get good grades as anywhere else. Your generalization of a couple of asian introverts to the entire asian population is quite offensive to me as a completely normal (but still asian) person. Like there's never been a nerdy white kid in your life? Think about it in a bigger context please.

Also getting good grades absolutely does NOT cost anything. Some things come easier than others to people.
But yeah, back to what you were saying. White Power! Go America!

According to you, you're surrounded by mostly Asians. How are you going to know the difference?

This is the problem, you automatically assume that everyone who got good grades had to spend all their time studying hard for it. The students who got the best grades when I was in university were the people who barely even studied because they internalized the concepts to the point where they understood them and then stopped, while the majority of the 60%-90% students did the "time spent=effectiveness of study" route and ended up with perfectly mediocre grades.

uh.. UofT only required a C in grade 11 english, so comparatively yeah, UBC has high english standards. I had a B, and I could say confidently that my english was better than 95% of the other asians in my year in high school. But then again, there are some crazy asians that can learn english from scratch within 6 months
At UofT, i'd say 1/4 of my program (mechanical engineering) were white kids, another 1/4 would be arabs and the other half would be chinese/korean. In arts and science programs, white kids are 95%.
