I got an e-mail from Jian Li last week who found my site and was happy to see I hadn’t randomly trashed him after reading his story.我得到一个电子邮件从李剑上周,他们找到了我的网站,并很高兴地看到,我并没有随机走进两家烈酒店后,他读他的故事。 I was careful about how I interpreted what I read about his case because it did seem like we weren’t getting a lot of the important facts, and lo and behold the subject of those stories writes in and confirms my suspicions there.我小心我如何解释,我看过他的案件,因为它看起来的确,我们没有得到很多重要的事实,你瞧主题的这些故事写,并证实我的怀疑。 It was an interesting note which I have here reproduced.这是一个有趣的说明,我这里有转载。
Be sure to have a look at the two stories I wrote about him and his complaint back in November 2006:一定要看看这两个故事,我写了关于他和他的投诉,早在2006年11月:

Hey Sam.嘿山姆。 I read your first blog entry about me.我看了你的第一个博客进入我。 It raises the issue of subjective admissions criteria, and you’ve written, “I can see a plausible concern in general, but not one stemming from his case alone.”它引出的问题是主观的入学资格,而且你写, "我看到了一个看似有理的关注,一般而言,却没有一个源自他的案件,仅" 。
I actually wholeheartedly agree with you on that point!其实,我完全同意你关于这一点!
A reader might be under the unfortunate and incorrect impression that I had deduced admissions discrimination as a result of my case alone.读者可能会下不幸和不正确给我的印象是,推导出了招生歧视由于我的案子。 Such a deduction would not only be egotistical but misinformed - colleges regularly reject non-Asian applicants with perfect SATs.这样的扣将不仅egotistical但错误-高校定期拒绝非亚裔申请者是否符合完善工地验收。 Rather, I came to the conclusion of discrimination before I even applied to college, while I was reading the Espenshade study (相反,我得出的结论是歧视前,我什至适用于大学生,我虽然是读espenshade研究报告( link链接 ). ) 。 I filed this complaint not because I thought I deserved to be admitted to Princeton (I actually think they may very well have rejected to me had I applied as a white student), but because I felt that applicants deserve to be evaluated without regard to race. i提起这方面的投诉,不是因为我认为我应该得到承认,以美国普林斯顿(事实上,我认为他们很可能已拒绝了,我如果我的应用作为一个白人学生) ,但因为我觉得申请人值得加以评价不分种族。
Because Dan Golden only wrote about my SATs, a reader such as yourself may also be under the unfortunate and incorrect impression that I think scores should be the sole basis for admission and that I had nothing beyond my scores.由于丹金只写我在SATS ,读者如自己也可根据不幸和不正确印象,我认为分数应该是唯一的依据入学和我无关,以后我的考试成绩。 On the contrary, I think that it is very important for colleges to look at things与此相反,我认为这是非常重要的学院,以看事物
beyond SATs such as leadership (though, as the history of Jewish admissions suggests, we must not let fuzzy criteria be an occasion for discrimination).以后在SATS如领导(不过,作为历史上的犹太人招生表明,我们必须不要让模糊的标准将是一个机会,为歧视) 。 I i
think my extracurriculars were pretty good – my complaint listed state-wide rankings in math and physics competitions, 168 hours of community service想我的extracurriculars不错-我的申诉列全州排名,在数学和物理竞赛,有1 68个小时的社区服务
during a trip to Costa Rica paid for by a merit scholarship, captaining my high school’s high-ranking academic team, etc. – but again, the rejection of在访问哥斯达黎加支付由一个优异奖学金,戴上队长袖标,我高中的高级学术团队,等等-但是,同样,排斥
someone of my personal qualifications would not prove discrimination, since colleges regularly reject highly-qualified non-Asian applicants.有人对我个人的资历,将不能证明歧视,因为高校定期拒绝高度称职的非亚裔申请者。 However, the然而,
Espenshade study does prove discrimination, as does the increased enrollment of Asian-Americans at UC Berkeley after the passage of Proposition 209. espenshade研究并证明歧视,因为是否增加招生的亚裔美国人,在加州大学伯克利分校获得通过后,命题209 。Thanks for reading this感谢阅读本

Thanks again for writing in to help clarify that confusion surrounding the complaint, and for letting me publish the e-mail on the blog.再次感谢为写作,以帮助澄清混乱,围绕投诉,并让我公布电子信箱就博客。 Hopefully some of my visitors will read through and get a better sense of things, maybe spread the word a bit… the media didn’t do very much worthwhile digging the first time around, I don’t think, which is too bad.但愿我的一些游客会读通过,并得到较好的意义上的东西,也许蔓延字有点…媒体没有这样做,很值得挖掘的第一时间靠近,我不认为,这是很糟糕。
