Asian-American who scored 1590 out of 1600 on SAT, got 4.65 GPA says he applied to Harvard, Princeton, 4 other elite colleges — and they all rejected him

Presuming the story is true, then this is another sad example of the death or meritocracy due to phony ideologies and new forms of racism!

It looks like structural and systemic racial preferences and race based admissions (a form of racism) at U.S. elite universities are real! Disgusting!

Such discrimination especially against Chinese Americans is very grave given the history of Chinese laborers in the U.S. Why do these usual leftist ideologues not demand reparations for them?

Unfortunately, the journalists involved here did, as happens to often, a lazy job!!! They did e.g. not present copies of the official university statements, why they declined the application or more information on the Students for Fair Admissions non-profit organisation (their newsroom does not seem to feature the story of Mr. Wang as of 6/10/2023)! Mr. Wang's name also appears to be missing from the Students for Fair Admissions lawsuit against Harvard University (see PDF of complaint undated!!!!!)

"Indeed, Wang told Fox Nation he applied to six "top-tier" institutions of higher learning — Harvard, Princeton, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, Carnegie-Mellon, and the University of California, Berkeley.

But the verdict — despite Wang's performance, which included a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT — was a resounding no from all six schools ...
"They all told me that it's tougher to get in, especially as an Asian-American," Wang told Fox Nation. "I just took it as gospel." ...
Wang took up the issue with Students for Fair Admissions, which Fox Nation said is working to bring race-based college admissions to an end. ...
Wang now is among the plaintiffs challenging Harvard and the University of North Carolina in court over race-based admissions and affirmative-action practices, the cable network program added. ..."

"... Wang, the child of two first-generation Chinese immigrants, is one of the people behind the plaintiff group taking on Harvard University and the University of North Carolina — two institutions whose race-based admissions practices have emerged at the epicenter of affirmative action practices for public and private institutions. ..."
