If Harvard was willing to give up all government support (federal subsidies for student loans, NSF grants, etc.) then I would wholeheartedly agree with this.
It's a private institution and I can decide who I want in my class - the government and the courts have nothing to say in the matter!

I was joking, but I do think that a lot of Asians and Indians, American or not, do genuinely lack what Harvard looks for - charisma, true academic curiosity, power hungriness, wanting to challenge and change staus quo etc.
