The table doesn't suggest that white people will get the lion's share of the gains if race is removed as a consideration. Whites gained 145 admissions if race was removed as a consideration. Asian/Asian American gained 1206 admissions if race was removed as a consideration. The admissions for African American and Hispanic Americans were cut in half.

Race based considerations in admissions benefits African American and Hispanic kids. It disadvantages Asian American kids. It barely effects the admission rate for white kids at all.[/quote]

That isn’t what the table shows. That table shows what happens if race, legacy and athletics are removed. Does anyone believe that will happen?  That athletes won’t get preferences?

The table does not show what happens if only race is removed.   The real outcome that should be shown is where only race is removed.   In that case based on the study whites will see most of the gains because they get most of the legacy and athletic boost.

[b]Asians are not stupid. We can read the table and understand it. All whites are trying to do is force non whites to fight over the scraps whites deign to leave them.[/b] [/quote]

Stone cold truth.
