There is no dispute: The college admission system is totally rigged against white and Asian applicants. [/quote]

There are not enough black people and URMs at universities for college admissions to have any real bias against white applicants. The top 20 universities accept less than 10% of applicants and of which less than single digits go to "unqualified black students."[/quote]

Yes, Asian students are being discriminated by less qualified whites getting in--- not black students. People keep ignoring this. This is why people think this whole thing is racist. Going after the less than 10% of blacks and saying you didn't get in because of them is transparent. [/quote]

Noone is going after blacks.  They are going after the racial discrimination.  There was an explicit racial preference for blacks and hispanics, yes.  But there was also discrimination against asians, they wanted diversity and there were too many asians so they limited it..[/quote]

The preference is for diversity, not for or against any one subgroup of humans. [/quote]

And they are not allowed to consider an applicant's race so they can have a preference for racial diversity but they can't really act on that preference.[/quote]
