Yes you do. Black students are historically underrepresented, which is at least partially caused by and contributes to persisting inequality. If you have more black students qualify for admissions in a post-affirmative action world, it suggests that maybe there is some hope for raising the Black community up to the level of other Americans and reducing barriers to success. But you knew this already..

Hopefully, but none of those are constitutionally prohibited by the 14th amendment.

Why would their qualifications matter here? The only issue which matters is their skin color.

I think you’re overestimating the legacy bump but sure. Everyone should be there because they’re qualified. Top schools should not have a need for remedial classes, even if their daddy is a Senator.

The jump comes one year after Black enrollment fell sharply in the Class of 2027, which was the first cohort admitted after the Supreme Court struck down race-based affirmative action in higher education. Black students make up 8.6 percent of the Class of 2028, up from 3.4 percent of the prior class.
The increase in Black enrollment for the J.D. Class of 2028 also contrasts with enrollment trends at Harvard College, which saw Black undergraduate enrollment fall by 2.5 and 4 percentage points over the last two cycles.
