[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s really frustrating is my black kid has top stats and AA is gone and people will STILL assume there’s some URM hook that got him in to a top college. Nothing is enough for you people. [/quote]

AA is not gone entirely, personal diversity statements are still a thing. It  has definitely been diminished, but colleges can still give diversity a boost in the admissions process using methods that don’t involve check the box AA. Some people are just prejudiced. There were so many racist people that said Ketanji Brown was a DEI hire, which is just ridiculous. She was in the top 25% of her class for undergrad and top half of her class in law school (at Harvard). So she is qualified, it’s not like she barely finished law school. I think Biden to some extent is diminishing her accomplishments by saying he was going to pick a Black Women for SCOTUS. She is highly qualified for this job and he could have picked her without explicitly stating that this was a selection criteria. Unfortunately, some people have a hard time accepting that someone else might be smarter than them, especially if they look different. [/quote]

Wasn’t her entire dissent in the aff action reversal based on her personal “lived experience” with not one cited precedent?[/quote]
