Supreme Court rules against affirmative action.

Thanks, great post. Eliminating legacy admissions would go a long way towards fixing this problem. As it stands, I agree that looking at an applicants opportunities ()or lack thereof) can still be considered, and standard test scores are becoming less important in the process. The reality is that looking at an applicants background, wealth and socio-economic status and considering that is going to capture many black applicants, since they are overrepresented in that 'lacking opportunities' category. Seems like it's easier to include race because it simply addresses reality. I suspect this decision is going to be litigated to death because it has, IMHO, confused an issue that is pretty straightforward.

I definitely don't envy trying to put together an Ivy League class among many seemingly worthy applicants. Let's take a wide view of the term diversity. That can include race, it can also include geography, it can include the economic background of the student it can include interests (we all probably know kids that did little else but study and have amazing grades and tests scores. would you want a class only full of that type or those who do well but seem more 'well rounded'?)

I've thought often about the point you brought up about more emphasis on socio economic background. (The one thought there is a higher percentage of black and Hispanic kids live in poverty but based on numbers alone more white kids are in poverty)

Edit: (I wrote a bunch more and somehow deleted it - but not the above. I'm an idiot. I don't have the energy to retype it all so I'm just sending this)

He VERY stupidly believes that minorities are monolithic. Blacks only make up 13% of the population. They are dwarfed by Hispanics already with no end in sight. More Hispanics does not hurt whites at all. The same cannot be said for blacks. Guno is quite stupid in this regard.

More blacks hurt whites? What an ignorant statement.

They care because if will make it more difficult for them to reach the diversity they want, plus, the image is wrong, already seeing “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal”

Democrats do not treat Asians as minorities. To the contrary, Democrats lump Asians in with Whites.

Why do democrats think Hispanic Whites are NOT Whites? :dunno:

Where does the racist democrat party come up with this shit? :palm:

Its because they like to peddle nonsense fairy tale bullshit to feed people what they want to hear instead of the truth. Much easier to sell a "treasure map :rolleyes: :)" than it is to simply tell the truth. New suckers are born every minute.

It’s also a lie, Democrats do consider Asians a minority and plan to step up their outreach to Asian communities in 2023.
