Supreme Court ends affirmation action

Precious Roy wrote:

An interesting angle on this ruling is the finding that affirmative action is discrimination because a white student is denied a spot whenever a minority is given preference due to their race. The evidentiary burden is on the person claiming discrimination. That burden can be minimal depending on the context (employment, disparate impact, etc.). Conservatives have long criticized disparate impact which allows a court to assume discriminatory intent by merely showing that minorities were statistically negatively impacted. But the Supreme Court has now held that discrimination can be shown by a simple assumption that the use of race in a "zero sum game" like college admissions necessarily establishing discriminatory intent. So, then a minority student should then be able to sue over legacy admissions for white students because admitting an inferior white student based on legacy admissions can be presumed to be discriminatory if a better qualified black student is excluded as a result.

OK you bunch of white, right wing Tucker cucks:

1) This is only going to cause universities, which are rightly driven to maintain student bodies representative of the larger populations they serve, to change their criteria to make admittance more subjective than it has been. In other words, you little clowns who think the only thing that matters is your dorky Adderall-and-tutor-enhanced SAT score, if anything standardized scores are going to be used LESS. The little robot kids who have been trained and nurtured to be weirdo test nerds are going to WORSE off, not better.

2) University admission-as-meritocracy has ALWAYS been a mirage. Especially at elite universities, at least half of the student bodies are rich kids whose parents bought their way in, or went there themselves, or played for some corrupt ball or track coach with ties to the university, or some other non-race-based affirmative action plan for rich white kids.

There is some doofus Dad or coach reading this awful forum right now who is actively gaming the system, making a$s-kissing calls to college coaches, or figuring out how to get their white kid into rowing, or T&F, or Lacrosse, or sailing, or paying for months/years of tutoring. The rich white kids get the networking, the telephone calls made on their behalf, the extra academic support, the bribes, the sports coaching, and can always fall back on the money in Daddy's bank accounts.

The kids enjoying the most outside help, NOT making it happen based on their own efforts, are ALWAYS the rich white kids. You want to look at the affirmative action recipients, look in the mirror whitey. Want to see average masquerading as exceptional, always look first to the affluent white community.

The supreme court got this one right. "Affirmative Action" , which is a very vague term selected instead the more accurate racial preferences is not good for anyone. If adds to the perception that the most qualified student may not be selected for entrance due to their less desirable race. A student might be denied entrance due to their race and that certainly causes resentment. This adds to racial tensions.

Its not good for blacks because it places their accomplishments into question. Did they earn their position or were they selected because of their color.

Plus the implementation of the policy is absurd. Who is black, and who is not, and how dark do they need to be to qualify?

Only bitter mediocre whites think this.

What you were missing is this allows Schools to deny entrance due to race ( in the case black) but that’s all fine with you.
