Yes, let's pit minority groups against each other while the white legacies and athletes cheer on the sidelines and then walk through the university gates.  :roll: [/quote]

People don’t have problem in losing a spot to those who are equally qualified.  When losing to intellectual inferiors, it’s obscene. [/quote]

White athletes are not equally qualified but i assume once you saw the word “white” you assumed they were. [/quote]

Black athletes are one of the main beneficiaries when colleges are looking for athletes.   They are not excluded. But I don’t know anywhere scholars are given extra points for the color of their skin. I never hear about whites or Asians who were accepted by EVERY ivy they applied. What do you call that?  Black privilege. [/quote]

In the Ivy League and at Harvard  in particular, the athlete tip is overwhelmingly for whites.  Lucky for you the expert for the plaintiffs in the SFFA case did a study on this very topic. I would suggest you read it and learn something for once. But that may be assuming too much about you.

So yes when you see all those white athletes walking through the Yard, you should find it obscene. But one has to think based on your posts that you somehow won’t because they’re white.

Not surprisingly, you missed the point. Unlike affirmative action, athlete recruits aren’t designed to make a reference to race. And not surprisingly, it does make a reference to race at Harvard. If you’ve been reading this thread, you’d know affirmative action is designed to benefit Harvard and not American born blacks. They use affirmative action to recruit full-pay African and Caribbean students while throwing a bone 🦴 or two to American blacks.  Just as you pointed out that athlete recruitment does not benefit blacks, affirmative action is designed to benefit Harvard, not American blacks. [/quote]

Last I checked this was the point: “ People don’t have problem in losing a spot to those who are equally qualified.  When losing to intellectual inferiors, it’s obscene.“  this was posted in response to the comment about legacies and athletes. how did I miss anything?  Face it- you were wrong and now you’re changing the point so you don’t have to admit it.

Please show me the stats the composition on Harvard’s black Student body. I don’t see why anyone should just accept the factual basis of your premise. [/quote]
