In my opinion to Tulane had the best response of all! |

Who cares, just go wherever you get accepted? Why stress over this? Go somewhere, work your a$$ of and it won’t matter in 5-10 years. No one cares. Actually the ivys are quite out of touch, outdated elitists anyway. It’s such a cliché to brag about going to an ivy. |

Justice Jackson is what mediocre whites are afraid of. There are many like her waiting in the wings in future elite college admission cycles. AA or not. |

If by “many” you mean “half as many as now get into elite schools” (based on the experience of states that have banned affirmative action) then sure! |

It’s the places with more women that men get AA to help balance it out. |

But if you can find a few great schools, with your intended major AND at a place where you will feel more "at home" and not a "minority" then why shouldn't your kid choose that if they desire? I went to a T10 school 30+ years ago. One of my best friends was female, black and an engineering major. She was a minority in all 3 aspects, on a campus with approximately only 2% of students being black. It was challenging to fit in with many groups. After having grown up in a neighborhood that was largely black and the rest was hispanic/latino/immigrants, it was difficult to "fit in at a school that was 65%+ white and another 15% + asian and where 65% of campus was well off, as in no financial aide. She largely found her group with the SWE and society of black engineers. Why not go somewhere your kid feels comfortable and is able to grow and excel academically and socially? I can assure you that even if Harvard was a HBCU, majority of rich white kids who grew up in largely white/asian communities without much diversity at their schools would not be clamoring to attend, because people want to be somewhere they feel most comfortable and a key part of that is what you are used to. |

| You people are way too obsessed with college admissions and status and perceived success. Man, it must be stressful being you. How high maintenance you all sound. Just be yourselves and see where it takes you. |

Affirmative action afforded them this opportunity to where it's now common place 40+ years later. |

Ignorant liberals know nothing about the world history of colonialism. There was plenty of oppression that Asians suffered due to race in the US and around the world that prevented them from participating in US rights and benefits as well. And lots of history of Black Africans ethnically cleansing Asians in a racist way when their countries got independence. So spare me the afro-centeic interpretation of oppression. If you go back in history long enough every race and each person's ancestors were enslaved or oppressed in some way. The world literacy rate has been low through most of history. And a much longer history of Asians ethnic cleansing each other and black Africans cleansing other black Africans. Sad but so what? |

Yeah, I saw that “satirical” headline and thought it would be a picture of Thomas. What was his credential for the federal bench? He ran the EEOC? And not very well. No one else would get a Supreme Court appointment with that background. The R’s needed a Bladk man to replace Marshall and he was the most conservative d one they could find. He’s the affirmative action hire and he knows it — that’s why he has an enormous chip on his shoulder. |

In what way? It's a giant platitude about DEI. What people really want to know is how colleges will successfully enroll a diverse class. |

Blasians can check Black. What do you think. |
