Yeah, university marketing is wholly separate from the admissions decision process.

Of course it is. You just can't accept that others define merit differently.

There is a pretty well accepted definition of merit.
It doesn't include skin color or family wealth.
It usually includes objective criteria.

Wrong. Wholistic is the opposite of objective and most schools prefer wholistic. They want the actor with dyslexia, and the artist who isn't great at math, and the writer with ADHD, and the high SAT future physics professor, and, and, and, etc, etc. etc.

Yeah but they don't want a sh*tty actor with dyslexia or the bad artist that isn't great at math, or the incomprehensible writer that has ADHD. They want the good actor and the good artist and the good writer and there is objective evidence that they are good at these things.

And it's spelled holistic.

I don't know if this changed at all this year, but I've noticed that it tends to be a school that attracts UMC AAs from our area.

UMC AAs are URMs too. 🙂

UMC African-descend immigrants from Africa and Caribbean. These are not really Americanized AA. They are children of very rich black people, with different home culture and intact families

Rich "black people " or not, they are still underrepresented in elite college admissions. People like you can apply whatever socio-economic or "cultural" purity test you want for URMs, but that's irrelevant.

You still can't show a preference to them because of their skin color.

Who should’ve never received affirmative action. We’ve made very little progress with American black people in higher education

Harvard, Yale, and Princeton showed no material difference their freshman classes after the ruling. All good.

Of course you can. The Supreme Court explained exactly how.
