> Surely you see the problem here? If still not, then replace "Women" with an ethnicity or race in that statement.

You can also do this with all the negative statements made about men every day. You'll quickly get banned from HN. Women already get special treatment.

And by "ethnicity or race" I assume you mean "ethnicity or race that's not acceptable to make fun of", because people make negative statements about whites or asians/indians all the time.

This is exactly what is done all the time with non-violent male-on-female rape, and that's taken seriously. Why is it any different here?

Test prep barely works, the entire field of psychometry is dedicated to this topic. How about looking into actual science instead of writing nonsense to justify your racism.

His comment wasn't limited to "fairfax county", it's true of all situations. For example noone minds black overrepresentation in basketball and proposes limiting them over there.

This is exactly what targeting is. Arbitrary GPA thresholds with low ceilings to achieve desired ratios. You can bet there is some rigging in the background for "special" families. Racism is only acceptable against asians, no one dare point out the extreme overrepresentation of the most privileged and hateful minority creating a lot of these policies.

What's even more disturbing is the fact that a lot of the justification of discrimination against asians, requiring higher test scores etc. is from none other than Ashkenazi Jews. Imagine the outcry if they were limited to be closer to their population percentage. If people actually cared about racism and being logically consistent, their first concern should be this massive overrepresentation of Jews. They don't.
