[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't care, do u?[/quote]

Yes, i care about the equitable treatment of all applicants....what sort  of mindless imbecile wouldn't?[/quote]

This isn't about equitable treatment of all applicants, it's about keeping blacks and Hispanics out in favor of races that Trump has deemed preferable.[/quote]

Try to keep up.....blacks and hispanics already get a significant handicap on admissions.  The suit is about discrimination against qualified asian-american applicants.  [/quote]

If these plaintiffs prevail, the effect will be to disproportionately push blacks and Hispanics out of these schools. That's why so many Asian people are opposed to this lawsuit, because they don't want their admissions to come at the expense of disadvantaged groups, and even those who don't care about that per se know how bad a look it is for them.[/quote]

Why is that? Stoping discriminating Asian students doesn't mean other groups have to be discriminated. It's strange to think a race-neutral policy will push blacks and latinos out. [/quote]

Blacks and latinos currently are subjected to lower standards than the rest of the applicant pool so that the college can meet its racial quotas.  If admissions were a true meritocracy like in Europe or to a lesser degree the UCal system, more asians would be admitted and fewer blacks and latinos would....because of, you know....qualifications.[/quote]

Why do admissions have to be a "meritocracy"? Regurgitating answers, studying for hours, getting straight A's in school doesn't equate to success in college or the real world. It doesn't measure innovation, leadership skills or a vast multitude of other things that are more important than perfect test scores. [/quote]

Then use "innovation" and " leadership skills" or other things as the admission criterion. Nobody said academia grades should be the only measure. The problem with Harvard is that they can't achieve the desired demographics without considering race of a student no matter how they twist their subjective admission criterion.  [/quote]
