Lee's next slide shows three columns of numbers from a Princeton University
study that tried to measure how race and ethnicity affect admissions by
using SAT scores as a benchmark. It uses the term “bonus” to describe how
many extra SAT points an applicant's race is worth. She points to the first
column.
African Americans received a “bonus” of 230 points, Lee says.
She points to the second column.
“Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points.”
The last column draws gasps.
Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points — in other words,
they had to do that much better to win admission.
“Do Asians need higher test scores? Is it harder for Asians to get into
college? The answer is yes,” Lee says.
