Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. I'm Nikita Dragon and let's just jump into it.

Bitch. I'm charging extra for that one. Honestly, that one was so good.

Yet another PDS host I'm having to fire Nikita Dragon. There just weren't enough

controversies around her. That said, despite Nikita's firing, if you'd like to listen to our brand new podcast

and conversation together on A Conversation With, you can listen to it using the audio platform

of your choice, using that anchor link down below, or you can watch it on YouTube.com slash

a Convo with, where I just, before actually uploading this video, uploaded the video there,

which, by the way, by the time this video goes up, I think we're about to pass 100,000 subscribers,

so thank you. But yeah, I've been doing these every Wednesday is going to keep doing it. I love it. And this one with Nikita was really interesting because I think no one would expect me to invite

And that because they argued that Asian American students were consistently performing better academically than other minority races.

But when they looked at the racial breakdowns between Harvard's freshman classes for different years,

they claimed that the percentage of admitted students from different racial groups was about the same each year. That being around 20% Asian American, 15% African American,
