not used to a high number of asians in a library?
― blingee cummings (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 19 March 2011 22:39 (thirteen years ago) link
there are a lot of Asians at CA community colleges. Library facilities aren't as good, though.

cause she is an idiot and it's a bit easier for an idiot to transfer to UCLA than get in from hs.
(not saying everyone who transfers is an idiot!)

is UCLA hard to get into?

honestly i have no idea if ucla is hard to get into -- i always assumed it was tho, at least second hardest after berkley
― blingee cummings (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 19 March 2011 22:55 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe they've changed their requirements significantly, but i don't remember any UC school's undergrad admission requirements being really challenging.
― sarahel, Saturday, 19 March 2011 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
from hs it's pretty hard in-state. uc admissions are weird tho, I know a girl who got into barnard, columbia, brown, forgot what else, but she didn't get into UCLA. (she was hispanic fwiw, and UCs don't do affirmative action, at least not de facto)
it's very, very hard out of state / nearing elite private school selective if you're trying from out of state.
more students apply to it than any other school in the country.
but it also has the most transfers of the UCs and there's even a guaranteed transfer agreement with...santa monica cc iirc?
― iatee, Saturday, 19 March 2011 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
and UCs don't do affirmative action, at least not de facto
oh yeah, that was because of some other dumb ballot measure we passed.

eventually that's gonna hurt white ppl tho, so lol

never underestimate the stupidity of Californians when it comes to state ballot measures.
― sarahel, Saturday, 19 March 2011 22:59 (thirteen years ago) link
I literally know multiple white girls who got into berkeley's engineering program because they were white girls. I mentioned this upthread but at lots of schools (not just the UCs) there really is affirmative action for white people at this point in that they'll be picked over a similarly qualified asian kid.

we're talking about a country where a professional LPGA golfer once asked the LPGA to limit the number of Asian golfers allowed on tour once because she "they had a lack of emotion and didn't attempt to speak English". not surprising at all.

California is probably due for yet another racist ballot measure, trying to remember the last one.

i was a community college transfer into ucla. my cc also had a "guaranteed admission" system that operated through their honors program. you took a certain curriculum, maintained a certain gpa, etc. i wouldn't be surprised if many/most california cc's had a similar program.
anyway at no point was i made to take a class called "how not to be a stupid fucking racist" before i transfered, so that was probably the problem.

Who gets more attention, ditzy white girl we can laugh at or videos by Asians or Asian-Americans responding to it? Why are people paying attention to this video? There are far crueller things on the internet with regard to Asians and Affirmative Action programs, they're just not produced by young blonde students with visible boobs.
