[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When that happens, IMO, it means they leaned heavily on the National Merit Hispanic Recognition Program designation in apps.

Which seems .. lazy?[/quote]

Yes but it works

Works how? Plenty of kids claim to be Hispanic who are three generations away from speaking anything but English. It’s not making Dartmouth more diverse on anything but paper. [/quote]

Wouldn't that be illegal? They aren't supposed to use race.[/quote]
The Supreme Court has never ruled that consideration of race is "illegal" or otherwise impermissible.

In fact, the SFFA majority opinion noted that race-based admissions programs are okay "within the confines of narrow restrictions."

They found that the Harvard and UNC programs did not fall within those confines. That's it.[/quote]

pretty sure they said that racial preferences are illegal.[/quote]
Yeah, you clearly didn't read the majority opinion.[/quote]

Just read section 6 of the opinion.

Racial preferences are illegal.

You can talk about how you overcame racism or how you assumed a leadership role in your ethnic community but the school cannot express a preference for a his[panic kid that assumed a leadership role in their community over an asian kid that did the same thing in their community.  They cannot prefer one race over another.[/quote]
What you and the Supreme Court described as permissible is still a racial preference.[/quote]
