If you don’t want parents to say “this kid only got in because they wanted more blacks and fewer Asians ,” don’t change admission processes with that very outcome in mind.

The attempt to engineer the make up of the class at Walls didn’t even work. If the move back to race-blind standards, it will at least shut up the racists.

Hahahaha. Asians can be extremely racist, just like any other group.

Ok and there are many Asians who are not. That also includes white, Latino, etc…. Your point is?

PP above is correct. Change the admission policy to affect the racial make up of a school, parents will say the above which is true.

Calling everyone a racist as a blanket statement when people have issues with lowering standards doesn’t help anyone and actually weakens the stance.
