亞裔配額

亞裔配額種族配額英語Racial quota的一種。它1980年起存在至今,反映了美國國內教育機構或職場中有意限制亞裔人數的現象。儘管以常春藤盟校為首的美國高等學府並不承認所謂的「亞裔配額」。究其緣由,是美國大眾文化對亞裔先入為主的觀念,認為亞裔學習成績天生優異,進而導致美國大學錄取的亞裔擁有平均遠超他人的學術水平。[1][2]

然而,亞裔配額這一有失公允的現象並非先例。早在1910年至1950年期間,美國高等學府便出於類似的目的,有意降低猶太裔學生的錄取人數。因此歷史緣故,當今美國大學招生辦中的亞裔申請者也被稱為「新猶太人」。[3][2][4][5][6]

此外,有美國政府調查跡象表明,亞裔配額在美國大學招生辦中普遍存在,但現在尚無定論。[7]

Just at the moment when Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have presidents named Rudenstine, Levin, and Shapiro, those institutions are widely suspected of having informal ceilings on Asian admissions, of the kind that were imposed on Jews two generations ago.

In recent years, Asian enrollments at all the Ivies have converged to a very narrow range and remained relatively constant from year to year, a remarkably suspicious result that seems strongly suggestive of an implicit Asian Quota. Indeed, the statistical evidence for a present-day Asian Quota is arguably stronger than that for the notorious Jewish Quota of the Ivies during the 1920s and 1930s, the existence of which was widely denied at the time by university administrators but is now universally accepted.
