Total BS. The dirty little secret is most of those so called black and Hispanic diversity cases are immigrants or kids of immigrants who should get no advantage in college admissions period. They experienced none of the discrimination multi generational blacks faced. Harvard is a despicable institution. I hope they lose big, but not sure that will happen because our courts don't seem to have the courage to outlaw racial animus against Asian and White Americans at these Universities[/quote]

You clearly don't understand why colleges have racial preferences.  Read a book on the subject, like "The Shape Of The River".  It is not to make up for "the discrimination multi generational blacks faced".  It is because they believe their charter is better served for the institution and all students if the racial makeup of the college somewhat reflects that of society, regardless of the race itself.

I'm not saying they [i]should[/i]-- I'm not sure actually.  But if you keep making your point based on that incorrect fact, you will continue to be wrong.[/quote]

The amicus brief submitted by military leaders in Fisher v. UT Austin is also interesting reading on this topic:

A similar one was filed (and quoted) in Grutter v. Bollinger (an earlier case that upheld UMichigan Law School’s race-conscious admissions process).  [/quote]
