Will people still discriminate against both Pablos? Will they think they are both lazy, criminals, rapists? Do many Hispanics feel they have to be 200% better than the rest to taken seriously? Do they have to always be aware of stereotypes, and do the complete opposite, just to feel accepted in certain circles? Were they placed in regular track k-12 classes, because it was assumed they couldn’t handle the work load of honors/AP classes?

All this still happens, but from the outside, it is hard to see. You know, how some white people say they haven’t noticed any racism.

Lazy criminals? That's not a stereotype I'm familiar with. I'ts the opposite, they are known as hard workers who have come here to do the hard back breaking work everyone else won't do.

Not attending JHU because other kids got in, is not paying the price. UMC white kids will do just fine if the have enough of a work ethic. Parents connections, knowing how to navigate the system will help them succeed as well.

It should not be top 10 or bust.

And how is that so? I'm sure you can speak in cogent detail about what the Supreme Court held exactly last year. Please enlighten us.

URMs will do just fine if they have enough of a work ethic... It should not be top 10 or bust.

Sorry. People will continue to fight against these racist equity policies.

For all the reasons folks have discussed above, I think there should be an admissions advantage given to FG & LI (those who check both boxes) and no one else.

My DD attends one of the University of California schools, and the enrollment at her particular university is 20 percent white. The plurality is Asian, followed by Hispanic.

Most educated/reasonable people I know think the same as you, but don’t forget a certain “somebody” and his friends thinks the immigrants (read as non-european immigrants) are “poisoning the blood of americans. Many Hispanics are well aware of this rhetoric.

I grew up in the midwest.

Many, many white people from that part of the country have native american ancestry in that part of the country. (For example, Oklahoma)

But the only thing you share is a language.



Your family has benefited from colonization, slavery, feudal plantations, and a racist class system in your home country for however long they were there, be it 20 years or 400.

Why should you get priority admission over your landscaper from El Salvador's kids? They're indigenous to the Americas. Their family has suffered centuries of oppression and displacement--up to the present day.

You're not the same.

I'm all for overturning the simplistic definitions of race and culture we use, definitions that are gamed by the UMC just as everything else is. I would like to see emphasis be placed on first generation, and not on divisive arguments about race that create monolithic definitions based on skin tone that have no relation to history or heredity.

I agree with many of your points, yet still, as a Hispanic woman, less-indigenous looking and college educated, I have still been a victim of racism by white men and women. Men approached me assuming I was “easy”. My college roommate assumed I was “used to cleaning”.

My mother did not want to teach me Spanish, because she feared I would suffer the discrimination she did when she moved to this country.

People in the DMV might be less racist, but in other parts of the country, we are all known as lazy, beaner wetbacks!

People in DC are much more racist than people in southern states like Alabama.

It's not. There were recent articles and studies done. Only 2% of the entire US population has Native American blood. When people like about race, it is most often Native American (like Elizabeth Warren). They also almost always say Cherokee---which is the least amount in the US.

So 20% in now way shape or form, NOT.

We will see by this years numbers at JHU if that’s true. There’s no way it can match past demographic breakouts if they are truly not considering race.

+100

If race is not a factor which Supreme Court ruled it cannot be. There is no way JHU can have whites at the sane percentage as blacks and Hispanics even higher.

Statistically that is impossible. Their admission stats should like wildly different for the next incoming class, if not they will be sued.

+1. Class of 2028 will be 90% Asian if they are actually following the law

Not sure about that. My son scores higher than his Asian friends/classmates--always has---high compliments from their mothers...one told me my kid was the smartest kid in the class.

It would likely remain the highest percentage though. There is no way the other minority groups would remain higher than Caucasians though....statistically impossible given population demographics to have only 18% representation.
