I know this article. When it says:"Wang was rejected from all the Ivy League universities he had applied to, except the University of Pennsylvania." is when you should stop reading it. In the first sentence of paragraph 2.
Top kid applies to elite colleges and gets in one. Can someone point out the problem to me?
If he was black he would have gotten into all eight. Heck, if he was white he might have had a chance at HYP. Try to keep up....it isn’t that hard.
"Try to keep up!" Lol...
You can only attend one college and he got into an elite.
I fail to see the problem! (Because there isn't one!)

Great article on the case.
I think it clearly hits the issue at hand.
AA isn’t a problem, it is specific anti-asian bias with respect to whites, not URMs.
That said, I do think what will happen is h will win in district and appellate court, only for scotus to take it up and that this scotus will use it as a vehicle to really make a broad ruling on the use of AA.
Scotus last term overturned internet sales tax and abood; cases that established multi-decade precedent. Scotus as constructed will not hesitate to strike down bakke, gratz, Bollinger, Fisher II just because of stare decisis.
But do you think Kavanaugh, a true Ivy-leaguer can bring himself to rule against Harvard? He would be going against his way of life.

Get used to what?
