[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]White numbers may go up slightly but that will not stop conservative judges from prohibiting an admissions system that considers a race or results in disparate impact since a court decision impacts an entire state or multiple states. The judge may not care about TJ but would certainly love to strike down a system that allows for a boost for blacks. They hate racial preferences period.[/quote]

I have to assume that folks who post this sort of nonsense haven't grown up in countries with a functioning rule of law. "Disparate impact" is not a magic word that one can throw around and immediately get the response one wants, nor are "conservative judges" going to overturn years of precedent just to protect admissions at one public school in Virginia.

For what it's worth, "disparate impact" is not determined based on the status quo, but rather on the general population. So...a lottery system that grants more slots to majority white sending middle schools could trigger a disparate impact ruling, but a random lottery for all kids who pass a certain threshold? There's no disparate impact there, unless you compare against the current population, and that's not how the law works. [/quote]
Whites cannot compete with Asians. So whites will institute a lottery to increase their numbers and decrease Asian numbers.
How is this different from what White Supremacists used to do?[/quote]
