That is true, but the white pool is so large and there are so many qualified whites that are getting rejected right now that if you removed all preferences, whites as a race would actually do better, even though it will be non hooked whites. Racially removing all preferences will not harm whites as a race. And there is no way that colleges will remove Legacy and recruited athlete and be able to justify racial preferences. So the 10% drop in white enrollment that occurs only if legacy and athletic preference is removed but racial preference is kept is practically untenable. If Legacy goes, AA will definitely go, but if AA goes, it is not clear that legacy and Athletic preference will go.

DP.. yes, but clearly, Table 11 shows that whites get some kind of affirmative action in the form of legacy and athletes.  I think the point is that in this way, whites also do get some form of affirmative action.

Again, the *ONLY* group that doesn't get any kind of affirmative action is Asian American.[/quote]

This is false.

Asian Americans benefit from racial balance at the colleges where they are also URMs.  A (tiny) partial list of them is above in this thread.[/quote]

Oh Lordy.

There's stupidity, and then there's dcum stupidity.[/quote]

See post above.

And again, post when you can refute the point.
