that they have used race in assessing asian american applicants is, in fact, racist. i think the most troubling part of the information that harvard fought very hard to keep private is this information that their own internal investigation previously had found that there was a concern about discrimination against asian americans, in particular, with this category that they use called the person or personality category. in that category, statistically, overlooking at some 160,000 applicant files, they consistently have scored asian american applicants lower for a characteristics like like ability, courage, integrity, and that is very, very troubling, because that really goes to the heart of one definition of racism which is when you imply personality characteristics or behavior characteristics to a person s physical appearance and goes to the heart of a racist belief.
