An Asian quota is a racial quota limiting the number of people of Asian descent in an establishment, a special case of numerus clausus. It usually refers to alleged educational quotas in United States higher education admissions, specifically by Ivy League universities against Asian Americans, especially persons of East Asian and South Asian descent starting in the late 1980s. These allegations of discrimination have been denied by U.S. universities. Asian quotas have been compared to earlier claims of Jewish quotas, which are believed to limit the admissions of a model minority from the 1910s to the 1950s. Jewish quotas were denied at the time, but their existence is rarely disputed now. Some have thus called Asian-Americans "The New Jews" of university admissions.

  • 亚裔配额是的一种。它1980年起存在至今,反映了美国国内教育机构或职场中有意限制亚裔人数的现象。尽管以常春藤盟校为首的美国高等学府并不承认所谓的“亚裔配额”。究其缘由,是美国大众文化对亚裔先入为主的观念,认为亚裔学习成绩天生优异,进而导致美国大学录取的亚裔拥有平均远超他人的学术水平。 然而,亚裔配额这一有失公允的现象并非先例。早在1910年至1950年期间,美国高等学府便出于类似的目的,有意降低犹太裔学生的录取人数。因此历史缘故,当今美国大学招生办中的亚裔申请者也被称为“新犹太人”。 此外,有美国政府调查迹象表明,亚裔配额在美国大学招生办中普遍存在,但现在尚无定论。 (zh)

  • An Asian quota is a racial quota limiting the number of people of Asian descent in an establishment, a special case of numerus clausus. It usually refers to alleged educational quotas in United States higher education admissions, specifically by Ivy League universities against Asian Americans, especially persons of East Asian and South Asian descent starting in the late 1980s. These allegations of discrimination have been denied by U.S. universities. Asian quotas have been compared to earlier claims of Jewish quotas, which are believed to limit the admissions of a model minority from the 1910s to the 1950s. Jewish quotas were denied at the time, but their existence is rarely disputed now. Some have thus called Asian-Americans "The New Jews" of university admissions. Proponents of Asian quotas' existence believe that by various measures admissions have a bias against Asian applicants, though not necessarily a strict quota: for example, successful Asian applicants have on average higher test scores than the overall average. The perceived bias against applicants of Asian descent has been termed a "bamboo ceiling" or "Asian penalty". Alleged Asian quotas have been the subject of government investigations and lawsuits, with some minor conclusions of their existence, though no major judgements, as of 2017. (en)

Cotas judaicas foram negadas na época, mas sua existência raramente é contestada agora. Alguns, portanto, chamaram os asiático-americanos de "Os Novos Judeus" para as admissões nas universidades. Os defensores da existência de cotas asiáticas acreditam que, por várias medidas, as admissões têm um viés contra os candidatos asiáticos, embora não necessariamente uma cota estrita: por exemplo, os candidatos asiáticos bem-sucedidos têm em média notas mais altas do que a média geral. O preconceito percebido contra candidatos de ascendência asiática foi denominado um "teto de bambu" ou "pena asiática". As supostas cotas asiáticas foram objeto de investigações e processos judiciais do governo, com algumas conclusões menores sobre sua existência, embora sem julgamentos importantes. (pt)
