[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One argument is the fairest thing is to make the class mirror the country. That would mean 13% black. That would preference blacks over groups that are over represented at Harvard, like Asians, which make up 6% of the country, but 21% of Harvard’s freshman class. [/quote]

How about admit applicants who are qualified and are interesting and qualified, and put aside the race card?[/quote]

I'm pretty sure OP is a white person trying to stir the pot and deepen the race divide, not a black person seriously asking this question.  [/quote]

I was sure OP is antisemite trying to stir the pot by reducing 25% Harvard Jewish population down to 2%[/quote]

no one mentioned jewish population until you did. [/quote]

If you want to mirror the country, that’s 15% blacks, 5% Asians, and 2% Jews. [/quote]

Sorry to all the white supremacists out there but these days for the purposes of this argument Jews are not a race (despite what Trump says).  We don't ask religion anymore on the application anymore, people. Judaism is a RELIGION not a race. There are black and asian Jews these days.  White jews do not experience what blacks do in this country in terms of racism. We need more black and URM in elite colleges. Period.[/quote]

I suppose you want more AA kids, not necessarily black. Most of the black kids at elite colleges are wealthy immigrants from Nigeria. [/quote]
