Predictions for what happens when the SC bans affirmative action?

[Anonymous]

I've said it before but we are the celebrities of race in America. People on this board, in society, in general here are OBSESSED with us, watch our every move, how and when we get into college, where we live, copy our dances, style, slang, venacular, hyper analyze our communities, police our hair, our moves, the way we watch the Boston marathon for Christ's sake! OBSESSED!

as a Black parent, I'm totally very much interested in seeing how this plays out and to see who the mainly conservative anti-Black people on DCUM will react to the fact that their kids still won't be guaranteed a spot in the Ivys.

not bc some Black kid took their spot but bc TO will still flood the pool with TOO MANY candidates continuing to make it a total CRAP SHOOT it is now !

Another black parent here. I think we both know how this is going to play out.

You make it sound like wanting diversity is at odds with enrolling the best students. I find these assumptions to be suspect. Like the posters who define merit as whatever benefits them the most.

The way diversity is defined and implemented today, yes, it is absolutely at odds at enrolling the best students. There is such a huge skills gap between the average URM and non URM applicant, that there is a serious shortage of equivalently qualified URM applicants in the application pipeline. If a college insists on getting anything close to proportional representation despite this, then by definition they have to pick lower qualified URM students to fill their class. The only way to claim that diversity does not affect quality today, is to redefine the very meaning of the word merit to something nonsensical, like Harvard did by introducing spurious variables like the personality ratings into the mix.

Also in every country where diversity is actually present, it has led to destruction of social cohesion, social trust and increase in friction. The former Yugoslavia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Myanmar being some examples) Diversity advocate have only recently recognized this because now they are insisting on "inclusion" as being another responsibility of the non URM pool. This is just code for non URM's having to walk on eggshells, so as not to trigger or piss off URM's on campus. It's a fool's errand. Human kind is tribal by nature and just like diversity brought strife all over the world, it is destroying America's campus environment today.

So what is your solution? Whine endlessly about it? Or have no diversity and every racial group sticks to themselves? It’s too late for that. This country is diverse and we’d better continue to figure out ways to get along and include everyone because diversity isn’t going anywhere.

The solution is pretty simple.

1) Stop lying to the American people and acknowledge that the big skill gap is not due to systemic racism, but lack of cultural capital in the URM community, most of which is directly under their control.
2) Expect better from URM communities instead of molly coddling them. Delayed gratification, better work ethic, stronger focus on academics, stronger families, less out of wedlock child births for a start. None of this needs any change in attitude from non URM's
3) Intervene in elementary school to create a bigger pool of eligible candidates
3) Forget recruiting for Diversity. Recruit for the same standards
That's hard work, instead of yelling "systemic racism" whereever you see racial disparity, which is the lazy way out

+1

DEI is making matters worse, not better. I have black friends who won't go to a black doctor.

I have black friends who think you’re an idiot.

Don't speak for everyone. A lot of black families have legacy at places like Harvard and they're likely to be at least moderately upset. Your average black American, certainly not.

I went to Harvard and my husband went to UPenn. Most black people who went to Ivies are not upset if our kids cannot go. Maybe a tiny minority. We have 3 children and while we won't pressure them to, we'd prefer they go to an HBCU. College is hard enough than to have to also deal with racism. We did it but we don't want them to have to do it.

Same. And as you already know a lot of high stats black kids are choosing HBCUs for that reason and loving their college experience. And getting great jobs afterwards.

Affirmative action benefits non-POC women more than ANY protected class.

POCs are fleeing PWIs because they are sick of the bigotry and racism of underperforming privileged kids.

Let that sink in.

Thank you. I feel like absent from a lot discussions about affirmative action is how many rich white people get away with being mediocre just bc of their connections and privilege.

Angelina Jolie sent her DD to Spelman; they have the money & connections that she probably could’ve gone anywhere but presumably she felt most comfortable there

Seems like AAs are the only group needing assistance. Look at the makeup of colleges in Texas. Unfortunately, AAs are still very much struggling in this country.

Maybe they should pick up a few tips from here about how and why certain immigrant communities succeed, instead of constantly whining about how pervasive systemic racism in America is? If America is that bad, how come all these newcomers are leaving native born blacks and whites in the dust? Simple. It's all about cultural capital, a term that's taboo in leftist circles

httphttps://youtu.be/-eMLAFV4cx8be/-eMLAFV4cx8

Yeah but none of them ever dealing with systematic oppression by the whites.

Because wait for it...... THERE IS NONE. Only lazy race huksters point to systemic racism as THE REASON, THEY ARE NOT MAKING PROGRESS. Because if America was systemically racist, you think Nigerian and Ghanaian immigrants would succeed here? Vietnamese refugees would succeed here? A person like Ilhan Omar would be in Congress?

So disgustingly racist.

Well. THANK YOU. Nowadays, I wear this label proudly because it just means that the other side has no argument, so has taken to name calling.

That’s because the average black American doesn’t benefit from affirmative action. The wealthy blacks who already are doing well are the ones who benefit the most. That’s the problem with the system. Affirmative action is a bandaid. It makes it look like there is progress because the top institutions are 15% black. But the average black kid lives in a less affluent area and receives an inferior education. We need to focus on improving the education for these kids as well as adding support systems for them so that they can have upward mobility. Affirmative action being used to help children of wealthy black parents doesn’t do anything to improve social mobility.

Please name the top institution that is 15% black.

Be better. You could have googled this but since your are both lazy and uniformed, I will provide you this information after sufficiently shaming you

HBCUs have received a lot of money lately and have attracted some great faculty talent. I think they are going to lead a Renaissance.

The only Indian immigrants who make it into the U.S. legally are already highly-educated, talented workers. Skilled enough to get a job at FAANG or into a funded PhD program. These folks are UMC/wealthy in India.

Flawed reasoning. What about Vietnamese refugees who came here in the 79's? It's got nothing to do with your status in the home country. It's got everything to do with the cultural capital you bring to America

It’s not 1979. The only legal immigrants coming to the U.S. nowadays from Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Vietnam etc are the best & brightest in their respective countries. If they don’t already have a bachelor’s degree when they get here, they’re coming for undergrad as a full-pay international student. They’re coming here AFTER being hired for FAANG jobs, accepted to fully-funded PhD programs, for professorships or for medical residencies. I’m not sure how you think a “dirt poor” person would get to U.S. soil from an African country or from India. Do you have any idea how much a flight costs, especially for a family (it’s common for an adult international PhD student to bring their spouse & kids)? $4,000 at minimum.

What do you mean “it’s got nothing to do with your status in your home country”? Do you think the U.S. is letting any random Kenya resident come here & start working full-time? How do you think they’d get to the U.S.? How you do think they’d afford immigration paperwork, housing or flights?

Are you dumb? How is it that dirt poor Vietnamese refugees who arrived hey with no language skills, are destroying native URM's in terms of prosperity with one generation? Unless you have a credible answer to this question, stop yakking. Wealth is not the cause, it is the effect of certain cultural traits. Most immigrants who are in the top 20% today in America, came with less than $1,000 in net worth to this country a generation ago. They created most of their wealth here.

No you are embarrassing yourself. Ilhan Omar as a Muslim Black immigrants woman who got herself elected to Congress is indisputable proof that AMERICA IS NOT SYSTEMICALLY RACIST AND IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT CULTURAL CAPITAL ANYBODY CAN SUCCEED IN AMERICA. That's the point
