The group fighting AA is hiding under the name of Asian. They are Chinese. Their culture rewards test scores only. Welcome to America. Pushing down another race to succeed will only create more animosity towards Chinese. There is an entitled attitude that they are better than the rest of us because they work so hard. Universities take a wholistic view of applicants. Empathy, understanding and students who face barriers to succeed are also considered. A monolithic view that my score alone proves I am superior is spoiled and infantile. Chinese do not understand the Black racism that this country was founded on, and the work we need to do.

He grew up in Florida? (3) A small observation statistically, his rejection for the *SAME* reason at all of those institutions doesn't make sense. What was in his recommendation letters? Maybe he didn't stand out and is not as uniquely impressive as he may have believed. Life is soberingly hard for those who have never dealt with not receiving what they ASSUMED belong to them.

After the Supreme Court decision and his acceptance to a different school, he declared that he was going on a tour in the western U.S., as well as other regions, to crusade against programs and policies which were to help under-represented students (read BIPOC's) gain acceptance to colleges and universities because he felt that such programs were unfair to "deserving" (entitled) students like himself. I recall a panel os Asian Americans which was recorded on KZbin sometime last year. I'm not sure but he might have been one of the panelists because there was a young man who resembled him and was admittedly against the efforts of the Civil Rights Movement of the early-mid 1960's to right the wrongs of American society.

These elite schools in California have mostly Asian and white students anyway.

I saw mostlyAsian students, followed by white students and then other students of various ethnicities. I sure as heck didn’t see more than a handful of black students there. Two of those black students were in my family! A lot of the California universities are highly impacted. They’re impacted by Asian students. To see any black persons on campus and automatically go to the bottom denominator as to why these particular Asians did not get in, is playing to the same old racist playbook as there ever was. As such, is the mindset of this featured “model citizen”.

The reason why he was happy was because he wanted to show his support for a person that was running under the Conservative ticket. See, thats called a "slave mentality." Now, I could care less about which party you vote for, but you mean to tell me you want to take away a right that was given to us, due to services rendered, because you still want to argue about which plantation is better?!?!

The biggest issue that is rarely addressed is GREED, admitting above institution's physical capacity... which creates scarcity. Colleges should be admitted to 75% yearly capacity. 25% should be left for open enrollment during the non traditional summer or winter semesters for students of hardship regardless of background. Enrolling up to 95% to 100% creates scarcity. Scarcity creates racial issues because it turns brother against brother, sister against sister. This also increases costs because increased capacity requires hiring WAY more college administrators. Administrator salaries cost more! Even if the institutions weaponize the scarcity by increasing and inflating the cost of enrollment... the Administrator salary will still cost more than the profit from increased tuition. Corrupt racist elitist college administrators unfairly shifted guilt and blamed affirmative action by demonizing affirmative action thru weaponizing scarcity to attempt to milk extra money from students. If admission capacity is properly managed, affirmative action should actually symbiotically benefit Blacks, Latinos, Asians, and Whites. Non-traditional and transfer students would also have an advantage because there less of a need for waitlisted classes.

[@OurNewestMember]

Wow. The question isn't whether these institutions have "even 5% black" student population, it's whether the _acceptance rate_ causes selective benefits on non-merit-based attributes. Likewise, if there are almost as many white and Asian students in an institution, that would be surprising in most parts of the US as there are not roughly the same number of whites and Asians in the general population, suggesting something happened during recruitment, admission and retention for the student population to deviate so much from the general population. But I agree the 15% Harvard legacy admissions student body proportion could be damning. But you'd need to separate out those students by the amount of benefit they received (some would have likely gotten in anyway, some might have enjoyed some peace of mind with their application, some probably still didn't get admitted) -- and then look at those benefiting students -- not the whole 15%. The absolute numbers and percentages aren't the right thing to look at. You want to see the rate of beneficial treatment across groups due to these institutional practices.

They filed lawsuits against the Harvard and UNC due to discrimination. The Trump DOJ subpoenaed the universities' admission records, revealing discrimination dating back to the '90s. The admission records show that when all other things were equal, they had to score 100 points higher than White students, 200 points higher than Hispanic students, and almost 400 points higher on the SAT than Black students. The Supreme Court ruled that the universities had violated the Equal Protection Clause _( 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act),_ leading to the exclusion of race in future college admissions considerations. At present, certain Ivy League universities continue to utilize the limited flexibility regarding "race" in their admissions processes. Their current issues are with Yale, Princeton, and Duke. _(The recent data from Princeton and Duke show that their numbers may have gone up. They just chose not to indicate their race.)_ Their numbers have gone up significantly at every University that eliminated the Diversity (DEI). Remember, they are only around 7% of the US population. The enrollment numbers for Asian American students decreased at *Yale (24%) and Princeton (24%),* saw a slight increase at *Stanford (27%), Brown (33%), Cornell (38%), and Harvard (37%),* but rose significantly at *MIT (47%), Johns Hopkins (46%), Columbia (39%), UPenn (34%), CalTech (41%), UNC (26% from 13% in 2022),* and across all *University of California campuses.* Those numbers are *ONLY* for *"Asian American".* Asian International Students are *NOT* Included in the *"Asian American"* percentage. Asian International Students are classified as *"International Students"*. They usually comprise 70% to 95% of the *"International Students".* This is just a repeat as in California when it banned Affirmative Action in 1996. A few years after that, the Asian students took over all of the Elite Universities _(all of UC Campuses from UC Davis down to UC San Diego, CalTech, and others),_ They also took over High-Tech Industries and Medical Fields. Today, Asian American students are the majority at all elite universities in CA, Hispanics moved to #2 and Whites dropped to #3 _(around 20%)._
