Supreme Court ends affirmation action

Work harder.

So?

This will not work out in a way, the right wingsters wanted it to be. Asians will take over the schools. There will be almost no room for white kids with connected alumni parents.

Or nothing at all notable will change.

CORRECT!!!

But seriously, the decision laid out exactly how schools can still build diverse classes without explicitly using race...

They will do it by behaving in a similar fashion to Asian Americans: working hard, stressing education, not having kids outside of wedlock and not getting divorced. Behavior like this equates to success regardless of a person’s race, creed or color.

What Percentage of the Whites who get in Jewish? This comes up in comment sections on Articles about this, Saying Jewish People are way overrepresented among the Whites.

I believe in Meritocracy, If 100% Were Jewish or Asian or anything, if they earned it fine with me. It is an interesting question that i often asked, but neer seems to be answered

Okay. Ashkenazim have an average IQ of around 115--that is, about one standard deviation above the average for the population as a whole.

All else being equal (though when is it ever?), it would be quite surprising if they were accepted at precisely the same rate as other whites.

She is WAAAAAAAAY Wrong May Blacks can easily get in on Merit.

Erica Marsh is Extremely stupid to think that.

In Fact I would Argue most Blacks who get in to a School, or get a Job, make it on Merit, Affirmative Action designed ONLY for Blacks was greatly Watered Down/Weakened when they started giving other groups including White Women who score better than White Men on most school tests except Math and Science.

Same way as before, except less danger of being "lopped" at the end because they were white, as Harvard called the race-based denial process.

Merit is not synonymous with average racial IQ from decades old studies.

But I must correct a common misconception: No one "deserves" to get in to Harvard. The institution focuses on putting together a well-rounded class--not well-rounded individuals--and may find a national-class clarinetist with 3.8 and 1400 more desirable than a swot with 4.0 and 1600. The latter had some stronger academic credentials but might not otherwise be interesting; are we saying s/he is more "deserving" than the musician?

Now, some state schools have specific, published criteria for admission, and applicants who meet those (and don't have felony records, etc.) might perhaps be legitimately "deserving" of admission. But truly elite colleges don't have such criteria.

I think it's a fake account, but I believe that the fact that many believe it's real says something.

Why do people keep bringing up legacy admissions as if it has any bearing on affirmative action? Many and/or most (?) conservatives would be fine banning legacy admits. But the RICH people who attended these universities (conservative AND, especially, liberal) will never get rid of the sure way to get their own kids into these universities. Harvard or any other school isn't required to admit legacies, so why do they do it? A National Review article arguing for the elimination of legacy admits (whu? National Review? Yes, that National Review).

It’s Time to End Legacy Admissions | National Review

Yuval Levin

The supposed meritocracy of elite academic admissions often blends into plain old aristocracy, but none are more overt or less defensible than legacy admissions.

People brought it up because of the hypocrisy of those saying admissions should be only based on merit, except if your granpappy went to school there.

As I've repeatedly stated, legacy is different and wasn't the subject of this lawsuit.

As you’ve been repeatedly informed that doesn’t make your stance any less hypocritical.

More liberal gibberish. That is the lie told to support their AA. You can put together more rounded class all you want but not at the expense of others. If you have 100s of black scoring 1600 SAT, take them all in to make the class more round.

The Dems have never ever ceased with racist policies. Never. Advocacy for slavery, Jim Crow, identity politics pitting all racial groups and the two sexes against each other.
