[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One argument is the fairest thing is to make the class mirror the country. That would mean 13% black. That would preference blacks over groups that are over represented at Harvard, like Asians, which make up 6% of the country, but 21% of Harvard’s freshman class. [/quote] You are confusing the words fairness and equitable, or proportionate. That would be proportionate. But what is proportionate is not always what’s fair. Fair doesn’t always mean equal, either.[/quote] Well then you’re simply talking about giving preference to oppressed groups. Fine, but how much preference is fair? Should blacks be twice as prevalent at Harvard? Three times? [/quote]
