标 题: 亚裔SAT要比白人高140分

Some Asian American groups, such as the 80-20 Education Foundation, have
been among the most vocal and visible in opposing what's broadly termed
affirmative action. They believe getting rid of race considerations will
work to the advantage of Asian Americans, who on average have held more
extracurricular leadership positions and have higher test scores and grade-
point averages than whites, yet have the lowest acceptance rate to elite
private universities.
They are not wrong to worry about Asian admissions. The circumstantial
evidence for a "bamboo" ceiling on Asian admissions is mounting. According
to a 2009 study by sociologists Thomas Espenshade and Alexandria Radford,
Asian Americans must score 140 points higher on the SAT to have the same
chance at admission to private colleges as whites. College enrollment trends
show that the percentage of Asian Americans in many Ivies has stayed flat
— between 15% and 18% — in the last 20 years, even though the college-age
population of Asian Americans has doubled.
