It’s a simple question: Do you think that implicit bias and racism negatively affect black people today?

They do, but somehow black immigrants manage to make it even in the presence of implicit racial bias compounded by xenophobia...[/quote]

Ok. Thanks for actually answering.

Quite telling how long that took for someone to admit it.

Given the quantifiable negative differential of black admits at Harvard vs. other races (and no, quant metrics aren’t the exclusive measure of intelligence), affirmative action reinforces the implicit bias that black students were only admitted because of AA.  Kind of sucks for the black kids that would have been admitted in a race blind environment or for that matter the big law partner that would have been promoted regardless of race. [/quote]
Yes, agree. The two biggest losers of AA are 1) blacks who would have gotten in under the more stringent "white" standards, and 2) whites who didn't make the cut because blacks with lower grades/scores were admitted ahead of them.[/quote]
