The Court has come to rest on the bottom-line conclusion that racial diversity in higher education is only worth potentially preserving insofar as it might be needed to prepare Black Americans and other underrepresented minorities for success in the bunker, not the boardroom (a particularly awkward place to land, in light of the history the majority
opts to ignore). It would be deeply unfortunate if the Equal Protection Clause actually demanded this perverse,
ahistorical, and counterproductive outcome. To impose this result in that Clause’s name when it requires no such thing,
and to thereby obstruct our collective progress toward the full realization of the Clause’s promise, is truly a tragedy
for us all.

Many people don't want to admit that Asians, as a group, are very smart. Their intelligence shows up at a very ypung age in preschool and elementary school settings, long before private tutoring or SAT prep.

Umm, this is not true. I live in a predominantly Asian neighborhood - their kids receive TONS of tutoring from an early age. They are not "naturally" smart anymore than any other child.

In 2021, about a quarter of Latinos ages 25 to 29 (23%) had earned a bachelor’s degree, up from 14% in 2010. A similar share of Black Americans in this age group (26%) had obtained a bachelor’s degree, while 45% of White Americans and 72% of Asian Americans ages 25 to 29 had done so. Hispanic women ages 25 to 29 were more likely than Hispanic men in the same age range to have a college degree (27% vs. 20%) – a pattern also seen among other racial and ethnic groups.

No one is discriminating against Asians or whites. This court case is literally a hissy fit at not getting into the top schools that they feel entitled to.

This, and as a result, the threshold that Asians have at these schools will likely fall as more preference is given to the connected, the athletes, the donors etc.

I have evaluated and taught kids for years in areas in which kids are not wealthy at all and certainly not being privately tutored. As a group, Asian kids stand out for their intelligence.

Again, you are wrong. I live in an area with the highest rated public schools, heavily dominated. They rely HEAVILY on tutors at an early age. My mother was also an elementary school teacher for 40 years and my dad is a college professor. I'll take my own experiences and theirs over yours, thank you.

Also recent immigrants and their kids are mostly well educated and privileged. We have rigged immigration for people with money, connections, and degrees. A lot of them arrive on student visas as grad students and work connections to get to stay. There are a billion poor and uneducated Asians but you won’t see them in the U.S.

This is true. Their parents really push academics and excelling at activities to get them into top colleges. My child participates in fencing and the parents are unrelenting on achievement.

I can confirm that many of the Asian students at my DC's public ES in a UMC neighborhood in NOVA got tutoring starting around age 5. They were also enrolled from a young age in STEM-related enrichment activities both after school and in the summer. They were also more likely to play musical instruments beyond the early years of ES. They can't all be naturally more intelligent or musically gifted than other students. Unless you believe that some races are superior to other races at the genetic level.

Again, this also had mainly impacted Asian folks, but you conveniently gloss over that fact. Pretty sad Harvard also ranked them so low on “personality” tests, but that’s another story altogether.

Having taught many college students, I understand this.

Wow again, the racism. Have you ever considered that Asians are perhaps just less outwardly expressive than folks from other cultures? Doesn't mean they don't have a personality. In fact, to Asians, the typical american can be described as obnoxious, dramatic. Don't equate that with personality.

It’s not even all intelligence related. 99% of your child’s success is due to PARENTING and taking personal responsibility. Asians just have better familial structure, value education more, and respect laws and norms a lot more than most other groups. People don’t want to admit it but it’s true. Go travel to Asian countries where societies are rigid but crime is very low and they push their kids’ educations hard. You don’t see many a Asian parents letting their kids roam like wild animals in the streets at 10 pm on a school night then whine later they need special treatment for getting into college after they get poor grades due to ‘lack of opportunities’. No, maybe you had piss poor grades because your parents suck, let you roam the streets at 10 pm, and skipped school 40% of the time. Parents need to do better rather than ask for handicaps.

Note the coded language here.

When there placement was earned it is not entitlement.
