[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of angry losers who thought SCOTUS was handing Ivy slots to their kids that just can’t make the grade.[/quote]

Let's do the math. In 2022 the SAT test taker demographics were as follows (from https://reports.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/20...ts-annual-report.pdf)

175,468 Asians
201,645 Black/African Americans
396,422 Hispanic/Latino
732,946 White

In 2020, the percentage of takers getting a 1500+/1400+ (respectively) by race were:

9%/23% of Asians
<1%/1% of Black/African Americans
<1%/2% of Hispanics/Latinos
2%/7% of Whites

That means that among the pool of people getting 1500/1400+ (rounding <1% to 0.5%):

15,792/40,357 are Asian
1,008/2,016 are Black
1,982/7,928 are Hispanic
14,658/51,306 are White

They're not getting mad, they're getting theirs[/quote]

The DC Metro has the highest concentration of Black Americans getting 1400 + higher on Sat

If you look at the numbers the White admission rates to elite schools should be much lower... WTF is going on[/quote]  Yeah it wasn't minorities taking the spot of Asians [/quote]

It was anti-asian discrimination in race conscious college admissions[/quote]

Sorry but no. And before you drag out SFFA v Harvard as example understand.

Harvard won on the discrimination claim.
Harvards win was upheld on appeal.
The discrimination claim wasn’t brought forward at the Supreme Court, rather the plaintiffs made an argument that the equal protection clause was violated in line with their goal from the beginning.

SFFA never cared about discrimination against Asians, they just needed a vehicle to get their desired argument in front of of the Supreme Court.[/quote]
