[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize this "holistic" view that Harvard and then other schools implemented was always racist.  Before the 1920s admission was based on a single test.  In 1926, Harvard switched to a more holistic view of its applicants.  This was pushed by Abbot Lawerence, a known racist.  The purpose of this change was to keep out Jews.  This is when quotas began and increased anti-Semitism at the school.

They are still using this today, this time to keep out Asians.

[b]The schools are either a meritocracy or they aren't, but they shouldn't be able to discriminate and receive federal funds.  [/b]

For all the talk now about tearing down systemic racism and injustices, the "holistic" view should be one of the first things to go.[/quote]

How long are you going to beat this dead horse??  Harvard won the lawsuit, so get over it.  Holistic admissions are lawful. [/quote]

Yes, systemic racism has been legal since the country started.  Nothing new here.  Oh wait, that is what people have been protesting about.  Maybe you should check your privilege and realize what it is like for minorities in this country.[/quote]
