and ignored the reality of modern America, where prejudice and racism endure.
I agree, about every race other than “caucasians” are extraordinarily racist with repeatedly shown in group biases and preference.
As Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in dissent, the decision cements “a superficial rule of colorblindness as a constitutional principle in an endemically segregated society where race has always mattered and continues to matter.”
Then why don’t you separate Jewish from Caucasian? Funny how the change in demographics of “white” college students drop dramatically when Jewish people are put in a separate category. In fact, it makes white men the largest minority in college admissions.
The result of Thursday’s decision means the end of a system that provided decades of opportunity for thousands of students who might otherwise have been turned away from some of the nation’s biggest colleges and universities. The effects will be felt nationwide, and soon. In states that have already banned affirmative action in higher education, the percentage of Black students has dropped
You mean being held to the same standard makes different results?! Did you know there were more black men enrolled in ivy league schools before affirmative action? Thomas Sowell graduated Harvard years before affirmative action…Odd how that works.
Thursday’s ruling, written by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by all of the Republican-appointed justices, takes a long time to make a simple — and simplistic — point: There is no real difference between the centuries of racial discrimination against Black people and targeted race-conscious efforts to help Black people. Both are equally bad, in this view.
Help? Show me the metrics where the decades of democrat policies have helped?
Like the dissenting opinions, it’s just crying before they’ve been hurt. They can’t wait and see whether institutions will magically become “racist” if they are not allowed to use affirmative action, they just assume they will because their worldview builds up from the assumption that everyone is as maximally racist as they can get away with unless reined in by big-daddy government, by relentless social pressure from activists, and so on.
We won’t have a clue how this changes anything, or whether it even does (colleges can probably find ways to consider race “unofficially” through context clues in personal statements, etc) for at least a few years. The entering class of 2024 would be the first admitted under the new standards.
They don't really give a fuck about Asians either way. They just weaponize them against whites when it's convenient and demonize them when they contradict the woke pecking order.
School admissions should be based on merit, and who can pay.
If this means Harvard is mostly Asian, so be it. Anyone who wants to go to Harvard can improve their test scores.
The only rough metric is GPA, since that judges a 13 year old for the life of an 18 year old. GPA consideration should probably only be Junior/senior year.

All three lefty bonus hole havers are worthless diversity hires. Shocking
Well, the voting patterns sure changed in favor of the democrats. And, at the end of the day, that is all these people really care about.
I'm not sure any institution does more damage than the media.
They are the enemy of the people, and are exactly the kind of domestic enemy the President swears an oath to fight against.

I mean, they are. It's natural for them to assume that everyone else is the same.

notice how NYT won't even post the names of the authors, not even under pen names.
that's how fearful they are of people noticing who is writing this anti-White, anti-Asian hate speech masquerading as compassion.
