It’s been called the “bamboo ceiling”—the perception that highly
qualified Asian American high school students face an unspoken quota at the
nation’s elite universities. College admissions directors, the argument
goes, often pass over Asian American kids for less-qualified African
American and Latino students for the sake of manufactured campus diversity.

Now an advocacy group, Students for Fair Admissions, says it wants to expose
, then smash, the bamboo ceiling for good. This week the organization sued
Harvard University and the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill,
alleging that the schools discriminate against Asian American students and
that political correctness is to blame.
The suit, however, is getting strong pushback from Asian American student
and civil rights organizations, who suspect that Students for Fair
Admissions—and its parent organization, Project for Fair Representation,
which is run by activist Edward Blum—are more interested in ending
affirmative action than making sure Asian American students get equal
treatment in college admissions. The lawsuit inspired a Twitter hashtag, #
IAmNotYourWedge, and a petition condemning the suit as a thinly veiled
conservative ploy.
