Not sure why a wang, Cohen, or buynisky can't be African American on their mother's side. Or from grandparents. Didn't Elizabeth Warren show the whole country how it's done? |
Another change already pointed out is that whites no longer have to lie about their ancestry DNA. A high percentage of whites have been claiming American Indian, or African American ancestry. It's pretty comical when you realize their ancestors were slave owners and/or took part in decimating indians. |
Use your common sense |
My DD is applying as NB gender / asexual to get around this, and I think this is a good tactic. For everyone concerned I’d encourage looking at this as a way to get around this BS from SCOTUS. |
Well, Wang and Cohen will have to show the admissions officers “how it’s done” in their essay if they want to be believed. You better talk about how having an AA mother affected your life. And you’ll need to demonstrate that in some believable way (organizational affiliation, travel, etc). Just saying you have an AA mom means nothing. |
Talk about your only connection to Africa via DNA and your college application will be tossed. All of our ancestors originated in Africa. Being part something is not the same as being a part of something (culture, immediate family, etc). |
Schools used the pandemic to roll out TO which will never go away and let schools obfuscate the same games. |
This doesn’t make any sense, and provides a perfect example of the type of mediocrity that is considered serious thinking by the DCUM crowd. To state the obvious, comparing societies that are largely homogeneous to those that are culturally diverse is like comparing oranges to apples. Our diversity considerations stem from the (gasp) shocking idea that everyone in society should have the equal AND equitable opportunity to reach their highest potential. In the US “everyone” looks a lot different than in Japan. Here’s a shocker, quantitive data is not the only data point that counts. There are many qualitative studies which prove that diverse teams are stronger, and make better decisions (look it up, I’m not going to do the work for you grifters) Finally, in response to the sad comment by a PP about diversity being irrelevant in engineering *sigh*, when a bridge collapses, a plane malfunctions, systems shut down why is that? Is it because (maybe, possibly) group think and lack of difference of opinion/experiences led to engineering failures that could’ve been avoided? How does race solve for that you ask? Well, turns out that your culture and language impacts the way you think/process information and reason, your race is intrinsically linked to who you are, it can’t be separated or pushed outside because you’re shaped by it. Point is, go read a book, educate yourself instead of just posting uninformed nonsense you think sounds really smart. |
It’s gotten more diverse. I’m not sure what facts you think I’m missing? Just share info if you have something to share. |
Sounds like Biden Admin is now rolling out federal initiatives to support diversity in high education to counter this ruling. |
This is the best post |
Will never support the GOP, but maybe he should spend more time on women’s health and access to healthcare after roe and wade. |
We can always look to Ms. Pocahontas to figure out how it's done. |
More than 30% of white applicants lied about their ancestry DNA, mostly claiming to be another pokahontas. |
Affirmative Action, like abortion, is a liberal totem that was never to be changed. And when it is, the wailing and gnashing of teeth is deafening. |
