It's easy to imagine that the bulk of "diversity" admits will be sought from low-SES locations, and some colleges (other than Harvard) can only afford so many.

Likelihood of attending is guessing a choice, not easy. Race is a finite knowable trait, much easier.

Well, you will see significantly fewer URM kids in the future. Free gravy train is over.

You can feel how you want about AA but this kind of language “free gravy train” is really gross, after everything this nation has done to black people. You are not a good person.

Well, I am sorry if you feel that way but that's exactly how I feel. Asians have done nothing to blacks, owe nothing to blacks and I resent the fact that AA negatively affected Asian kids the most. It's like paying for lunch that you weren't even part of having. And paying it year after year. LOL

And how exactly are Asians paying for lunch?

By their seats taken under AA. Which is exactly what Supreme Court killed it last week.

Someone is going to be very disappointed next spring.

LOL. and that will be YOU.

DP. Nope because we've known for years that it's a lottery and DCs list includes only schools they love from elite to state schools. My kid will be happy and successful.

My two favorite work colleagues are amazing Asian Americans who went to elite schools. I'm an URM who went to a state school. We all ended up with the same titles, doing work we love, earning the same salary. It works out.
