[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's amazing how swiftly any cares about equity went out the window after SCOTUS struck down affirmative action, thereby boosting chances of admission for whites.  I see the glee and excuses and it's shocking. [/quote]

It only boosted chances for Asians. Which is the real reason white patents are so mad. [/quote]

Nice try, troll[/quote]

Yup. That is some kind of freaky change up. Sure, blame the people advocating for equity, not the ones trying to exclude URMs to hoard resources. My white kid benefits from this decision,  but I am opposed because it is not right and perpetuates racism in the guise of not considering race.[/quote]

Your white kid does not benefit from the decision. At scale this is essentially a battle of whites vs Asians, not a battle over the still relatively small set of AA set asides. This decision hurts your kid. [/quote]

The institutional systems in America benefits whites. Unless legacy admissions stop at highly selective colleges, UMC and rich whites will benefit.  That's what Ed Blum and SFFA wanted all along. Asians will continue to be overrepresented, but not at the levels some think. 30-33% or so.[/quote]

It is clear from the NYT article today that "the institutional systems" benefit people in the top 1%. The whites who are in the bottom 99% do not benefit. And the number of whites who are in the top 1% is very small indeed, so just quit crying about "rich white privilege" already.[/quote]

With your drivel, you failed to mention that whites constitute the vast majority of the top 1%. You also responded to a post that states that...[b]rich whites[/b] will benefit.

And yes:

The institutional systems in America do benefit whites.

[/quote]

So you think only white people are rich? That’s pretty racist. South Asians are richer than whites. [/quote]

Ok.[/quote]
