Note

1) All these accusations and race-based comments are such a waste of time -- you'd be better off focusing on things you're in control of -- e.g. coursework, research, and related experience, if you seriously want to get in 2) You are presumably interested in working with these professors, and yet you seem to believe they have no idea how to judge how to choose the best incoming class. Faculty have a lot more experience in academia and have been working with and admitting students for years -- you should trust them to pick the right people. Sure, false negatives do exist, but usually people want to avoid false positives more. 3) Membership in the admissions committee usually isn't publicized, so the comment on it being easier for people who are Chinese (or any group of people really) to get in, based on the ethnic composition of the committee is unfounded.
