Controversy has been raging for some time about whether white Harvard undergrads–including grandchildren of Holocaust survivors– should “turn in their privilege” and, because of historic (and historical) racial injustice in America, agree to accept second place in the admissions pecking order to African Americans. Even if one accepts this argument, it’s hard to see how Asian Americans (who, in the case of Japanese Americans, are grandchildren of World War II internees in their own country) also deserve to be de-privileged in admissions. Though I don’t accept the “New York Post” as my newspaper of record, a recent editorial contained some morally relevant information: “Students for Fair Admissions is also suing the University of North Carolina — now in the midst of another scandal involving academic fraud for the benefit of athletes — as well as Harvard. But we’ll concentrate on Harvard here. . . . The applicant it cites is a first-generation Asian-American who ranked No. 1 in a high-school class of 460, attended a high school ranked in the top 5 percent of US high schools, had perfect 800 scores for his SAT II history and math, was an AP Scholar, National Scholar and the like and captained his varsity tennis team — in addition to other volunteer and extracurricular activities that included helping Chinese students learn English. But he was rejected.” I suggest that Jewish parents and grandparents who graduated Harvard and are believers in racial affirmative action against Asian Americans turn in by mail their own degrees to this rejected Asian American applicant in an act of moral solidarity with him and also ask their own children or grandchildren to withdraw their Harvard applications in order to open up a place for a less privileged Asian American.
