TL;DR: Too many slant-eyed Orientals! Diversity = people of the correct nonwhite skin colors who are in my socioeconomic class and able to make me feel good about my tolerance! =============== It’s not affluent whites, but rather the city’s burgeoning population of Asian-American immigrants — a group that, despite its successes, remains disproportionately poor and working-class — whose children have aced the exam in overwhelming numbers. And, ironically, the more “holistic” and subjective admissions criteria that de Blasio and the NAACP favor would be much more likely to benefit children of the city’s professional elite than African-American and Latino applicants — while penalizing lower-middle-class Asian-American kids like Ting. The result would not be a specialized high school student body that “looks like New York,” but rather one that looks more like Bill de Blasio’s upscale Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn. nypost/2014/07/19/why-nycs-push-to-change-school-admissions-will-punish-poor-asians/
