SCOTUS outlaws race as college admissions factor

46 pages of arguing. But I ask you, will Harvard be as popular in the future? They just announced AI will be teaching a class:

I told you how they took over the tech in the US. Once one Indian has a foot in the door, they will bring onboard their friends and cousins and then they only hire Indians, then they promote each other to top positions.

This is how it happened in Silicon Valley. Ask anyone who works there. They know.

Oh for crying out loud. Don't act like white people don't do this. Have you ever heard of the good old boys club? Look at most government contracting companies in the DMV and tell me the white male holding a C-level position didn't bring in their friends for other C-level or leadership positions. I.see.it.all.the.time.

You see, the truth is they don't see it when it's white people doing this. But if a racial group they don't belong to suddenly does it, OMG the world is ending! Though in all seriousness, no one should be doing this.

White people’s nepotism and cronyism is why we need civil rights laws and affirmative action goals in the first place. Universities are more meritorious than any other institutions in the country, because they take the time and effort to assess each individual applicant. Unlike the Supreme Court, which makes decisions according to “who is for, who is against, and which side funds me.”

Great, then do it in a way that doesn't discriminate against Asians like Harvard was doing. You want to do it by income? Go for it. But what Harvard was doing is unacceptable.

I still don't understand...Asians were not under-represented as compared to the general population at Harvard, so how are "they" being discriminated against? If Asians make up 12% of the population and have roughly 12% of the seats, then what is the complaint? I mean, Harvard turns away 98% of their applicants, and it is possible that the number of Asian rejections is higher because there may be more Asian applicants, but I still feel like this was not the right decision.

The Asian community won’t be happy until 100% of Asians who apply are accepted into Harvard. They feel they deserve it when other kids do not. They are arguing that their kids are always superior to others. Anyone else admitted who isn’t Asian is not as bright and only there due to AA or legacy. It’s been well explain on this thread.

No. What has been explained in this thread is that Asian Americans want to be evaluated on their personal merits, and not based on their race. Harvard is free and welcome to prefer whatever they want over academics and free to reject anyone they seem to be gunners with no personality. They can give bonus points for socioeconomic status or hardships applicants had to overcome. What they can't do and shouldn't do is reject someone based on race.

Please actually explain why this is a problem. For those harping on how schools will be overrun with rat racers who have no personality and own interests/brain, you are basically saying you don't think Asians are capable of being well rounded human beings. That is not only racist but goes against the findings in the Harvard case, which was that the Asian applicants scored higher across all categories, including extracurriculars and personality. The admissions office simply overrode the true personality scores by people who actually met the applicants and made up their own.

Ok, then avoid colleges with lots of Asians for all the faults you've imagined them to have. Be my guest. I don't want to go to college with people who assign racial stereotypes to a large groups of people instead of seeing them as individuals, so I guess we can agree that we shouldn't be in the same college together.

You keep saying “racial stereotypes”.

This is literally every Asian family I know and I know quite a few. This is also what other people tell me who know other Asian families.

They made movies about this, wrote books about it. This is reality.

I will add on top of it that Indians don’t assimilate into American culture. I’m not talking about 1st generation Indians, but 2nd, 3rd and so on.

They marry primarily Indians, hangout only with other Indians, bring Bollywood movies to American theaters, they even bought an Oscar for themselves this year for a movie that no American watched.

So let me ask you this. Are you here just to use American education system for your personal gain?

How do you contribute to the American society?

How do your contribute to making American society just and diverse? Or is this all just about you making riches?

this is all true, they are enclaves of their culture and system within the U.S. plus remit billions back to India or pakistan annually.
Just like Central American economic migrants do.

Many immigrants are here to keep allegiance to their homeland, make money, send money home, pull in more relatives especially at old age.

Are you even listening to yourself and not embarrassed by what you're saying? The Asian community is NOT a monolith. I repeat. We are not all tiger moms and we're not all rich nor are we all great in math. My kids don't have straight As. They play sports, not chess. We wouldn't even think of applying to Harvard. We'd be happy if they get into UMCP. What the hell is wrong with you? What we don't want however, is for people to discriminate against my kids and make it more difficult for them to get into schools more than non-Asian kids because of some stereotype or racial bias that you hold against us. Got it? Is that too much to ask?

DP Why is it wrong? Harvard is picking between applicants with extremely little difference in test scores, gpa, etc. Asians are at 30% of the class size and only 6% in the general population of the US. Harvard as a private institution should be free to select its class without government mandates.

They are only at 30% because of the lawsuit. Prior to that Harvard had successfully kept Asian share to 20%, despite higher number of applicants with high scores. They did the same to Jews 100 years ago, which is why they started holistic admissions and geographic diversity.

What would be an acceptable percentage of acceptances for Asian students? Is there a ceiling?

Nobody.

You want to turn Harvard into little India the way you turned TJ into tiger mom central? Well, they are not going to let you ruin the school.

Wow…just…wow…you aren’t even trying to hide the racism. Why don’t you switch up your ethnicities/stereotypes and see how that sounds? And I’m sure you consider yourself one of the “good guys,” eh?

I found that post quite refreshing. power and greed, keep it.

Are you fresh off the boat? Newsflash! This is America - no one gets evaluated based solely on their merits. It has never been that way and it will never be that way.

I would hate to be an Asian student on campus in the fall - they will likely be the most hated group on the quad.

I don't know what "stuy" is but you're right about UC Berkeley. Asians make up 50.1% of the freshman class enrolled in 2022.
It's an interesting question: how much is "too much" or should there be no ceiling at all? I don't know the answer.

You say that Asian students are not a monolith but you assume every Asian student was discrinated against because they were rejected by Harvard? Make it make sense.

The whole premise of the argument is that Asian kids are being rejected from Harvard for being Asian because lesser qualified kids are being accepted who aren’t Asian. But statistically Asians are over represented, as pointed out a couple of pages back. Are you even listening?!

We are not all tiger moms and we're not all rich nor are we all great in math. My kids don't have straight As. They play sports, not chess. We wouldn't even think of applying to Harvard. We'd be happy if they get into UMCP. What the hell is wrong with you? What we don't want however, is for people to discriminate against my kids and make it more difficult for them to get into schools more than non-Asian kids because of some stereotype or racial bias that you hold against us. Got it? Is that too much to ask?

You say that Asian students are not a monolith but you assume every Asian student was discrinated against because they were rejected by Harvard? Make it make sense.

PP is not saying they were discriminated against. And, pp is not saying ALL Asian students are discriminated against.
The reason the law was changed was because the Supreme Court found that Asian students were discriminated against. Based on the evidence presented to the court. And, they were. Just as they are at other schools. And, not only universities.

Why don't you look to see who is leading top US tech firms like NVIDIA, AMD, Microsoft, and Adobe?

I told you how they took over the tech in the US. Once one Indian has a foot in the door, they will bring onboard their friends and cousins and then they only hire Indians, then they promote each other to top positions.

This is how it happened in Silicon Valley. Ask anyone who works there. They know.

Oh for crying out loud. Don't act like white people don't do this. Have you ever heard of the good old boys club? Look at most government contracting companies in the DMV and tell me the white male holding a C-level position didn't bring in their friends for other C-level or leadership positions. I.see.it.all.the.time.

You see, the truth is they don't see it when it's white people doing this. But if a racial group they don't belong to suddenly does it, OMG the world is ending! Though in all seriousness, no one should be doing this.

White people’s nepotism and cronyism is why we need civil rights laws and affirmative action goals in the first place. Universities are more meritorious than any other institutions in the country, because they take the time and effort to assess each individual applicant. Unlike the Supreme Court, which makes decisions according to “who is for, who is against, and which side funds me.”

Great, then do it in a way that doesn't discriminate against Asians like Harvard was doing. You want to do it by income? Go for it. But what Harvard was doing is unacceptable.

I still don't understand...Asians were not under-represented as compared to the general population at Harvard, so how are "they" being discriminated against? If Asians make up 12% of the population and have roughly 12% of the seats, then what is the complaint? I mean, Harvard turns away 98% of their applicants, and it is possible that the number of Asian rejections is higher because there may be more Asian applicants, but I still feel like this was not the right decision.

The Asian community won’t be happy until 100% of Asians who apply are accepted into Harvard. They feel they deserve it when other kids do not. They are arguing that their kids are always superior to others. Anyone else admitted who isn’t Asian is not as bright and only there due to AA or legacy. It’s been well explain on this thread.

The whole premise of the argument is that Asian kids are being rejected from Harvard for being Asian because lesser qualified kids are being accepted who aren’t Asian. But statistically Asians are over represented, as pointed out a couple of pages back. Are you even listening?!

It seems that "statistically," Asians achieve at a higher rate than others. Does this mean that they can be discriminated against?
