Get into Harvard with a perfect SAT.
40% of the last class that matriculated was white, and half of the class was female.

Harvard accepted less than 2k students from over 60k applicants, and around 1,000 kids get perfect scores (according to this link) with the multiple curves that have been implemented since I took the test decades ago.

This link puts it at a few thousand, which is 1,000 more kids than Harvard takes in a class.

It doesn't surprise me that Harvard doesn't give an auto-admit to something that's pretty common these days. It doesn't mean what it used to.
How many black applicants to Harvard with a perfect SAT got rejected, do you think, ever?

My money is on zero.

How about Asians? White people?

My money is on much higher than zero.
If two applicants with perfect scores apply, Harvard (a private institution) owes the white one the admission?
If they make admission decisions based on race, is that racist?

Get promoted from upper middle management into the C-suite in any major corporation.

Grab women by their p*****, even if the women really wish it would happen.



Your inability to be the good positions in the c-suites sound like a you problem. Many of us white men are doing amazingly well.

No kidding. In my world of software developers, I'd say we're about two thirds white males, 25-30 percent Asian men/women, and the rest a small smattering of ethnicities and genders. Same with my previous world of network administration. I'd say that database administration is closer to maybe 50 percent white males and 50 percent all others, with a big portion of them being women. Most of our C-suiters are white men, too.

The poster to whom you responded seems like he might be a loser.
