It was not deemed unconstitutional until yesterday.

Racial discrimination has been against the law since long time ago.

it wasn't considered racial discrimination until yesterday.

It was determined yesterday that it was racial discrimination. This also means it has been racial discrimination which is, was and always has been unlawful. They were just found guilty of the crime they committed yesterday. Why shouldn't they be held accountable?
If someone was guilty of murdering yesterday, could you say he should be freed because he was just found guilty?

Op, there were numerous SC precedents that previously held affirmative action constitutional. This is not a case of clear-cut violations of the law.

And yesterday we learned that they were all wrongly decided and that the law actually barred the actions that Harvard and other schools freely admit to. There are years worth of applicants still within the statute of limitations

That's . . . not how this works, OP. But you continue to wait for your $1m. Good luck to you.

That’s exactly how it works, the law didn’t change yesterday, the Supreme Court just clarified what the law actually was. That’s the difference between a court decision and a new statute- one is only forward looking and the other clarifies what was already true

Just curious, at what law school did you learn this interpretation?

Again, what law school was it you went to?

Need to know so I don’t hire any lawyers from there.

But, really, you should sue the pants off Harvard. Gather up your lawyers and money and get that class action suit started ASAP. Have fun and enjoy.

That post wasn't from the OP. You keep thinking there has only been one person against you on this forum. This is why you got so narrowed view of the world.

Well, that's disheartening. I'd hoped that there was only one blithering idiot posting here, but apparently there are two. That's what I get for being an optimist.

There're definitely more than one idiot like you.

Really? That's all you can muster? A slightly more sophisticated version of "I know you are, but what am I?"

Suffered damages? Because they had to go to a less selective college? That’s ridiculous.

+1000

Plus, how would you even prove it? I mean 96%+ are rejected right now at Harvard each year. That means many many many highly qualified kids are rejected, very easy to say it's for other reasons (and most likely is). Nobody is entitled to an elite education

True. But if racial discrimination is involved, it's a different story. I guess we'll see.

And how do you prove it? When over 45K are rejected, how exactly do you show you were rejected because you were Asian? There are many asians in that rejection pile with similar scores to you, and many white kids as well as blacks and hispanics, etc. Fact is most are rejected.
Going forward Harvard and everyone else will just be certain not to document anything racial. But the fact is, there are literally tons of other reasons the kid did not get in. So they get rid of likeabiltiy. Fact is there are still so many factors that go into the decision it's not a "you get X on your SAT, take Y+ APs and get 5s, and get a 3.Z+ UWPGA and you get to go to Harvard" decision. so many nuances that Harvard will still achieve the desired freshman class and follow the law.

This is not a school where 80% are accepted and your kid was not with a 1580/4.0UW. Where you could demonstrate racism as the reason

I was just feeding into some stupid trolls like you to have some fun.
