They indeed are! You can't make this up!

What will this mean for job applications with a race box? And private school applications? I hope schools can still consider a low income/disadvantaged background like kids coming from poor public schools, etc.

What part of this opinion touched on alumni? Is not being legacy a protected class now?

I co-sign this and I’m black.

I hate race-based affirmative action for “diversity” reasons and completely agree with Justice Thomas on how stigmatizing it is for black students at elite schools. It bothers me to no end how every one (especially on DCUM) readily dismisses conservative black voices as if we are some imaginary creatures that cannot possibly diverge from liberal stereotypes. (I’m looking at you, Biden, with your “you’re not black if you don’t vote for me” crap.)

News flash: pull up a Pew poll, even among African Americans, a majority did NOT support race-based admissions advantages for college.

I did not vote for Trump but I considered it. And I am grateful for his appointments to the Supreme Court because they’ve restored sanity to the interpretation of the Constitution.

Black kids at good colleges will now get the credit and respect they deserve.

The same respect that a Black President gets!

The same respect that a Black person trying to buy or sell a house gets!

The same respect that a Black person driving a car or walking down the street gets!

It’s a detriment to Hopkins legacy already.

True but highly misleading:

"Nearly half of Black Americans (47%) say they approve of colleges and universities considering prospective students’ racial and ethnic backgrounds when making admissions decisions, compared with 29% who disapprove (24% are not sure)." Yes, it's a minority who approve, but of those with an opinion, 62% approve.

Black PP here. Okay so I was right, thanks. From the way liberals talk affirmative actions, you’d think black people were clamoring for it — THAT is what is “HIGHLY MISLEADING”

More whatabouttism. This was about racism but the racist posters can't stop bringing up legacy and athletic admissions. News flash: NOBODY CARES! This was about a racist policy not about a totally separate legacy issue. If you want to take that up then start your own thread about that and quit the stupid whatabboutism. Must be AA beneficiaries starting this stupid tangent

ALDC is irrelevant to the issue this thread is discussing, which was a racist admissions policy done for decades. Are we goign to also start talking about cafeteria food? Irrelevant
