[quote]Yet, as in Israel, the student bodies of elite American colleges would be substantially less racially and ethnically diverse than they are now. Under socioeconomic affirmative action, the share of minority students will decline by nearly a third. The number of African-American students could decline by up to 50 percent, and Hispanics by about 25 percent. At the same time, the share of whites and Asians will rise.[/quote]

Researchers are saying the truth after fisher II has been argued. That if you went to a SES-based affirmative action system URM enrollment will fall.

So when URMs talk about a boost needed for college admissions, they are not talking about requiring a boost due to SES reasons.

There are too many poor asians and poor whites form a population sense who are academically stronger that would take slots away from URM admits.

OP, this is America. No one gives a damn about poor Asians or poor whites until they organize and fight for what is theirs.[/quote] As soon as that is attempted they will be labeled racist.[/quote]
