[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check table 11, buried on page 49. I guess they didn't want to talk about that.[/quote]

What’s your point?[/quote]

NP here so I'm not sure what PP meant but it's "Table 11: Total Admits by Race under Different Admissions Policies, Expanded Sample" that jumped out at me.  If you remove all preferences, about the same number of white students are admitted, but way more asians are admitted, at the expense of african americans and hispanics.  [b]Politics of the moment aside, this is really a story about asians versus those other two minority groups.[/b][/quote]

Please stop trying to pit Asians against other minority groups. I am black and SO sick of this trope. [/quote]

Asians are taking the seats of White students. There are very little Blacks and Hispanics in higher education to make any difference to Asians or Whites, and no one in power would care if Asians took the place of Blacks and Hispanics and vice versa.

The whole discrimination effort is due to Asians taking seats from so-called "bright" snowflake White students, who were actually quite inferior.  Blacks and Hispanics are just the excuse the Whites give to deflect anger from themselves. Its the tried and tested divide and conquer of the White people.

Your view from of  “Blacks and Hispanics in higher education” is very weird.[/quote]
