Supreme Court ends affirmation action

Are you equally bothered that top-tier universities also have unofficial quotas that they will let in at least one student from all fifty states? Or that they will let in at least one student from each of 100 or more countries?

They love to publish that they have a student from "every state, and over 100 countries around the globe!"

Those things don't happen on accident.

The students from Idaho, North and South Dakota, and Montana might bump slightly more worthy applicants.

Does that bother you?

[It] shows that "your" stupid?

The researchers found that “roughly three quarters of white ALDC admits would have been rejected” if they were not given special consideration because of their status. If the university stopped giving preferential treatment to those students in the admissions process, they also found, the share of white students admitted to Harvard would drop significantly, while the admissions rates of all other groups would either go up or remain unchanged.

Democrats Have a Plan to Tackle Affirmative Action for Privileged White Kids

Legacy admissions and other personal connections will still help some kids get into elite colleges, but Jamaal Bowman and Jeff Merkley have thoughts on how to cut down on the unfair advantage

One student per state is dumb as the most qualified people will be in suburban areas around major cities. But are you pretending it's unlikely that there is one very good student in a nice part surrounding Boise or Bozeman?

(Corrections for text to speech errors)

if you think America is more open now, just look at today’s ruling; it allowed some fat bigot Karen to discriminate against gay people. Pretty hard to believe that discrimination doesn’t exist when the next supreme court case enshrined it

Right wingers and this court are all too happy to allow discrimination against minorities to again take root

I know you guys want to pretend the world isn’t the way it is pretending doesn’t make it so.

Once again, that study is useless as it obviously doesn't show how many diversity admits would have been accepted had it been race neutral. I'm sure close to 95% would have been rejected if they were white, let alone Asian.

Yeah bro, that gotcha has sailed. People use a variety of methods to input their thoughts and it’s not always perfect.

I'm not pretending that at all. Of course there is.

The thing we should all accept, because it is true, is that EVERY student who gets into a top-tier school has met the qualifications for that you university. They are ALL "very good students."

But then, after meeting the qualifications to be in the pool from which the incoming class will be selected, there are many agendas and quotas at play.

Many of those benefit white people. (Note the article posted just above this one, regarding Legacy Admits). Selecting at least one kid from Idaho generally would as well.

But I'm glad to hear you think those unofficial quotas are "dumb."

The "researchers " . Where have we heard this before... hmmm

RossiTRIGGERED

Colleges define 'qualified' as 1300+ SAT and the equivalent GPA. But a 1300 SAT student is not 'qualified' in any real sense of the word. There's a reason why MIT reinstated testing requirements.

So if we see a Dakotan at an Ivy, we can reliably surmise that they are drawn from a stupider population (by average IQ of course) like the blacks?

Not even remotely "triggered."

Perhaps you should watch this reply from Harvard's President-Elect.

If you think that is decision is even remotely going to change the composition of incoming classes at Harvard, you'll be sorely disappointed in years to come. The top-tier schools are going to find a way to give the Supreme Court the biggest middle finger ever.

Trigger Warning: Conservatives who don't want to know that they are going to go home devastated should not watch this.

Why are you supporting colleges continuing their systemic racism in admissions?

Why are you? You seemed happy. Happy to go back to the days. When Black people were denied entry into schools. Why are you like that? Did you fail at life that much you need to blame others

I feel like you are triggered as you perceive this as a loss for your team. And you are clearly wrong on believing that ALL kids who get into top tier schools have met the minimum requirements that are equally applied to all.

3 major Supreme Court rulings in the last couple of days and all were 6-3. Sad how political the SC has become.

Thomas addressed this in his concurrence.

"The Constitution continues to embody a simple truth: Two discriminatory wrongs cannot make a right."

Clarence Thomas has flushed things with more brains than you have. I'll take the opinion of the brilliant black man on Affirmative Action over the word of a angry lily white clown like yourself thanks.

That all the posters on LR who have been vocal about disliking/avoiding black people flocked to this thread with glee is the least surprising thing ever.
