[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The federal district judge seemingly faithfully applied extant S.Ct. law.  Ultimately, the S.Ct. May have to weigh in on whether “strict scrutiny” has, in effect, been treated like “rational basis” review in  this context.  But opponents of affirmative action need to recognize that by the time a case gets to the Court there will be a 5-4 Dem majority.  [/quote]
Why do you assume a liberal majority? RBG will not last another five years, sorry - and Trump will be appointing another conservative.

Very few Republican politicians care about this issue anymore. In fact, very few white people care about it.  The only ones who do are those whose ox was, in effect, gored.  And by that I mean the parents of the marginal kid who was rejected by, say, UVA, and lash out in embarrassment and anger.[/quote]
Except it's not necessarily the marginal kid, but you'll keep telling yourself that. It's the kid with the 3.6 who didn't get in, whereas black kids are getting in with a 3.2.

It's happening, but the only way the posters defending the racist AA policies is to convince themselves it's only impacting the marginal kids. Very good white students are being rejected because these schools are allocating space for more black kids, and that means lowering the standards for them. The white kid with excellent grades is SOL.[/quote]

Thems alotta words but no data.[/quote]
Schools USED to report the data, showing the average GPA and test scores of different ethnic groups, but there was such an uproar when whites saw the extent to which blacks were being favored that the schools stopped doing it.

And why did they do it in the first place, you ask? Because they wanted to encourage blacks with so-so grades/scores to apply, showing them how much easier it would be for them to get in with their 3.3 than a white guy (who would be laughed out). But as I said, it backfired when whites saw the discrepancy between black and white acceptance data.

Again, amazing how blacks and bleeding-heart whites keep insisting that we leave racial preferences in place when deciding whom to admit, but then deny that applicants with the preferred skin color are being advantaged. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. [/quote]
