Bronx: Is it okay for officials to limit the number of Asian-Americans in the specialized high schools? Aren’t we discriminating against Asians? The excuse is we need more Black and Hispanic students in these schools and it’s unfair that Asians take up a large portion of the seats. What are you saying, that some minorities can’t compete on an equal playing field? That Asians are smarter than any other race? I find that degrading and insulting. Did anyone consider their work ethic? Remember all those children you called “nerds” in school? Well, now you’re calling some of those same people “doctor.”
