[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The law allows schools to have a diverse student body. You need to change the law. [/quote]

The law allows schools to use racial discrimination in order to have a diverse student body.

Maybe if that were the official ruling, we can at least confront reality and move on with our lives.[/quote]

I guess you should move on. Describe it as you wish but Harvard’s holistic admission process was found to be legal. The holistic admission standard has been ruled on in quite a few cases and it has been upheld repeatedly. [/quote]

If true, courts may have done that to give ammunition to employers to “holistically” evaluate their applicants and employees. As Harvard uses holistic evaluation, corporate America uses holistic evaluation in evaluating Harvard URM’s watered-down degrees. [/quote]

See it as you will.  I understand you will not hire any black people and that is ok. But Asians numbers in corporate America are not good so it might backfire on you.[/quote]

Not many Asians go into business, finance, mba, so it’s not critical Asians need to shine in those areas. Asians typically don’t go into sports either.[/quote]

According to the economist

Fifteen years later Asians are still under-represented. Some 11% of associates at American law firms are Asian, but only 3% of partners are. In technology Asians make up over 30% of the workers but less than 15% of bosses. In 2017 Asians made up roughly 6% of the country’s population but only 3% (16) of the bosses of s&p 500 firms.

Looking for Asians in top positions in the US is not unlike looking for whites in Africa or blacks in Asia. [/quote]
