“In fact, when Asimov applied to Columbia University, they warehoused him into an offshoot school they set up in Brooklyn, to which they diverted most of their qualified Jewish students. To keep Columbia from having “too many” Jewish students. In keeping with schools like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, until well into the 1960s. Calling Asimov white in the US, because of his skin tone, is colorism. Which was decried by Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois in the 1950s, as he spoke out against antisemitism.”
