When do you think Joe evolved? Before Kamala called him a racist, or after? |
Sarcasm is lost on you, yet I agree with you on Legacies and VIP preference. DC is full of 'connected' people, including my family, however refused to use it for my children's sake. |
You may call those little lives what you want. They still matter, all the little girls and all the little boys developing in utero. |
She didn’t call him a racist. She said that in the 1970s he opposed busing as a remedy for segregation, which was true for Delaware political reasons. That’s just the way it was and still is. A lot of people recognized that racial discrimination had been systemic and caused extreme racial disparities but few people in predominantly white places had the political courage to support any remedies. |

“Barak Obama is the first mainstream African American who is bright, articulate, and clean.” — Joe Biden I don’t know about you, but my black friends said only a racist says something like that. |
Get back to us when your black friends are running for President and selecting running mates. Until then, I'll pass on their opinions,. |
+1 the idea that they transmogrify into babies when they mix with air is anti science. |
She basically called him a racist. Busing was a very misguided remedy that was unpopular among both blacks and whites and decimated community-fed schools and destabilized inner city school districts. Opposing forced busing does not make one a racist but that's exactly what Kamala was getting at. I really liked her up to the point she made this attack during the primary and she's never fully regained by respect. I'm actually from Delaware and my family was directly impacted by busing and I saw firsthand what it did to schools there. Busing might be over but the public school system in Delaware has never fully recovered from it. |
I think the whole "model minority" thing is overblown but you do have a point about media and Democrats mentioning every race but Asian in this discussion. You wouldn't even know Asians were plaintiffs unless you read the lawsuit itself, crazy. |
I guess I'm one of those democrats who knew the plaintiffs are Asian.
Hope.this helps Asian kids, but I really doubt it, unless they are already rich. What the outcome really means is that rich kids are going to be as preferred as they used to be in the old days before affirmative action. Doubt very seriously these right private Ivies are going to become significantly Asian, especially now that they don't *have* to select a minimum amount of Asian students. My prediction: Asian acceptances will tick up slightly, while the open slots are backfilled with potential donor families. |
If they aren't viable, they aren't viable. You don't have the right to decide how I, or anyone else, manages their bodies. You do you. |
The brief submitted by Students for Fair Admissions contains precise data about Harvard acceptance by academic performance decide and race. Looking at it, it suggests that if you remove the 40ish % of Harvard students that are admitted due to legacy, then the remaining 60ish percent will be much more Asian and slightly more white. The standards for admission is not slightly different- they are drastically different, and this likely accounts for the disproportionately high dropout rate among black students. |
