[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard wants to increase their URM students to a point!  I agree that they are discriminating against Asians. [b] However, I would argue that Harvard will not decrease the number of whites students below 50%[/b]. If that happens wealthy/elite whites will not want to attend and it will lose its status.  I don't think that is fair, but that is the reality. [/quote]

They are already below 50%.  The last two classes have been majority-minority.  You can look this up; indeed Harvard brags about it.
You really could argue that the Asians are proportionally represented, blacks and Hispanics slightly over-represented, and whites are under-represented.  Really it's the whites who have a case here based on disparate impact.  [/quote]

OP here. Yes, I just looked it up and it is 44%. [b] I still stand by my overall point that their ultimate diversity goal is to keep whites as the majority of any racial group.[/b]  [/quote]

? but they are in the majority, both in the population and in the applicant pool.  Not sure I understand your point.[/quote]
