[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think this a blow to diversity on college campuses, but I also think schools will get creative with how they keep said diversity.  Pay attention to student zip codes who apply, the racial make up of the HS they attend, read the essays for clues as to the students race/ethnicity, etc. [/quote]

I hope so. I feel like our society is back-sliding and reinforcing systemic racism, all because Asian kids don’t get their school of choice that they feel deeply entitled to. It’s disturbing [/quote]

Thank you - as a well educated African American woman, this is a bitter pill to swallow.  My kids will be fine but as a long time local prosecutor, man have I met some smart kids who due to circumstances, will never ever have the grades and test scores to meet some college admission criteria. However, these same kids would do well in the right circumstances on a college campus if given the opportunity. Many of these Asian families have no shortage of money for tutoring and other enrichment classes and can get into MANY colleges - not just the one they want, while the kids I have described will not get into any.

And many Asians families are poor, and many black families have plenty of resources. Get out of your stereotype filled circle jerk once in a while. [/quote]
