In my opinion I agree with the claim that we do stereotype Asian-Americans. Jeremy Lin lays basketball in the NBA. But before that he went into Harvard with a GPA of 4.2 in high school and a perfect SAT score in math. And he was discriminated against by the other team; they would ask him if he was missing orchestra practice or telling him to open his eyes. Lin isn't the only one who wants to overcome the stereotype over Asian-Americans; those applying to the Ivy leagues are also having trouble. At Princeton they wanted Asian Americans need SAT scores 140 points higher than white students. It isn't fair that they need to score higher just because of their heritage. 
It is wrong that colleges discriminate against Asian Americans; to prove this I would conduct study.  I would find the percentages of how many Asian Americans and whites are accepted into the top ivy leagues and also state colleges.  Then I would also see if some require higher SAT scores or a higher GPA just to be accepted into their school based on race.  Once I have conducted this information, I would talk to people on admissions boards to see how they determine who gets into their schools.  Then once I have everything I need I would put it into an article to prove the discrimination that goes on in colleges.
