This is obviously a boon for HBCUs.

What does black politics look like under those circumstances? Will we see the end of Obama type respectability politicians, with more radical figures stepping in? A new dawn for Afropessimism? What happens if black people have no stake in elite institutions?


They need to step up and force their reps to push for education funding at the lower levels as well as encourage their community to work harder/smarter. I think the first fight for Blacks is colleges mis-representing the "Black" number to include African Americans (kids born to recent African immigrants). Fix that first. Work at least as hard as them and see your numbers go up.

It's hard, because Africans will then argue they're being discriminated against for being penalized for their excellence.

We can only hope.


Look what happened to TJ. Affirmative action in disguise to significantly reduce Asian students in favor of other races. Clear discrimination that is an "inconvenient truth":

Asians face more discrimination (sometimes language difficulties as well) than URMs and still manage to excel and gain admission to top schools and gain employment to top companies.


It clearly is NOT discrimination.

It wasn’t about reducing the number of Asian students, it was about expanding access to more kids from across the county. Which is why they ADDED seats for this expanded access.

Asian students still make up the majority of students and are accepted at a higher rate than other groups. And, in fact, there are MORE Asian students at TJ since the admissions change than almost any other year in the school’s history.

The number of Asian students enrolled at TJ by school year (fall):


Acceptance rates (class of 2025):
Asian 19%
Black 14% (5% lower)
Multiracial/Other* 13% (6% lower)

Hispanic 21%
White 17%

Plus, the court decided it wasn’t discrimination.

“we are satisfied that the challenged admissions policy does not disparately impact Asian American students

And the SCOTUS left ruling in place:
https://virginiamercury.com/2024/02/20/supreme-court-wont-hear-thomas-jefferson-admissions-case/

On average, classes have ~60 more URMs, which was a huge % increase, more than 200% jump.



More importantly, we’ve seen representation from all middle schools and kids from lower-income families. In fact, per the courts, the students who benefited the most were Asian from low-income families.

TJ is not just a school for wealthy kids from feeder schools. Or wealthy kids who gained an unfair advantage because their families could afford to get access to previous test questions on an NDA-protected test.

You don’t sound very smart or you’re just evil. Did you purposely forget to look at the percentage of each race?


He's just racist. Don't feed the trolls.

No, they will be led by Indian Americans. Look at the Silicon Valley.

First of all, Indians are Asians. Second, who are the current leaders of Nvidia, Broadcom and AMD?


Indian American here. I’m not Asian. Sorry. You don’t make the rules for us all.


Even Indians do not want to be classified as Asians since they can see how Asians are treated in this great country.


Wut? Asians are treated with respect in this country because they are correctly perceived as hard-working and law-abiding.

What?
You’re systematically put down (such as affirmative action) because you’re respected?


Asians attend highly selective colleges in numbers that far exceed their percentage of the overall population. In the exact case we are discussing here, MIT, "the percentage of Asian American students in the class rose to 47 percent from 40 percent" - compared to Asians being maybe 7% of the overall population. How the f**k is that "systematically put down through affirmative action"???


So asians are the only group that increases after AA is banned but it's not systemic because they only increased by 20%? White admissions didn't increase at all, is that indicative of a system that was just giving a preference to URM or one that was giving preferences to URM solely at the expense of asians?

That one way to respond when the numbers aren't on your side

??
Do you know the percentage numbers? I know for a fact, Asian percentages dropped a lot after the TJ “reform”.


Mostly because the denominator increased. The actual number of Asian students attending is close to an all-time high.

Math.


It's bad math.
Why would the increase in admissions only lead to increases in every group and lead to a decrease in only one group?
The process was designed to create more diversity by lowering standards.

Both.
And Harvard et Al needed to be sued for financial damages. I’m shocked they can get away with this without real consequences. It’s like committing crimes with zero cost. They’ll do the same discrimination again or in a slightly different form.

Of course.

The policy - or lack thereof - isn't the issue.

It's anti-black racism.

Why are Asians subject to higher standards? That’s racist and unlawful.


Asians are not being subjected to higher standards.
They have reduced standards so that the admitted class looks more like the applicant pool.
THAT is how much they wanted to racially balance the population. They were willing to undermine what made TJ the crown jewel of FCPS and top ranked high school in the nation so that they could increase diversity.

Is your brain full of $hit or you’re doing this on purpose? How does that have anything to do with if a group is discriminated or not. Did you not see the fact Asian Americans are subject to much much higher standards than other races to be admitted to top colleges in this country?
Google SCOTUS ruling on Harvard lawsuit.


Asians are accepted to Ivies and MIT vastly in excess of their numbers in the general population, and you're whining about discrimination? Get bent. If there were actual discrimination then Asians at Harvard would be 7% not 30%.

Read Harvard lawsuit.


Cry moar, bizatch.


Why would they cry? They won!
Like previous efforts to eliminate racism, it takes more than one lawsuit as massive resistance kicks in but over time, we will eliminate the racism and all of today's racists will pretend they were always against affirmative action.

How does affirmative action at MIT help women?
Have you ever been to MIT. The women are all asian and they are no wealthier than the average MIT satudent. The only group where the man don't outnumber the women... by a LOT... is the asians. Those asian women tend to be as smart as anyone else there.

This is the effect that Roberts was talking about in using racial preferences. It justifiably breeds resentment and more racism.
Telling a bunch of asians that we will discriminate against their children (and ONLY their children) because of some horrible shit that white people did to black people but they shouldn't complain because it would be racist not to support this discrimination against their children is an unreasonable ask.

+1 depressing really


multiculturalism will fail if this is what people think and post when anonymous, and i bet it all most are dems here...

I really dont care what my race, religion and culture does, I stopped caring at 20 when i realized I wont be defined by my parents and let alone by my ancestors, I wont be defined by my political affiliation, and I dont care what is politically correct, who ever thinks otherwise is not a well developed person


Multiculturalism has failed because, overwhelmingly, [b}only liberal whites "don't care about race" or are willing to advantage other races over their own[/b]. Every other race does, and that's not going to stop.


And yet the MIT statistics show that AA wasn't disadvantaging whites, it was ONLY disadvantaging asians.
Same with the Tj admissions, only Asians are taking a hit in their pursuit of diversity.

The TJ application process is race-blind. All kids face the same standards.


Except the school board changed the admission system to reduce Asians and increase blacks/Hispanics in 2020-2021 in a rushed process during the height of pandemic. Sneaky idiots.


They wanted to increase representation from underrepresented groups. Which is why they ADDED seats to accommodate these additional kids from across the county.

There are as many Asian students there today as ever before. And they have a higher acceptance rate.



You forget to mention that number of freshmen Asian students decreased by approximately 30% after the admission change.


Also 2017 is an awfully convenient place to start the graph because if you go back even a few more years, the slope of asian admissions would become obvious.

2004 143
2005 160
2006 192
2007 188
2008 219
2009 260
2010 276
2011 273
2012 308
2013 317
2014 323
2015 346
2016 335
2017 367
2018 316
2019 360
2020 355
2021 299
2022 330
2023 340
2024 315

You want to guess what the numbers for white admissions in those same years looks like?
I'll give you a hint, NONE of the other racial groups had their admissions numbers change significantly during this period.
TJ went from being an majority white school to being a majority asian school and THAT was the problem.
There weren't any more black kids at TJ in 2011 than there were in 2020.
