Okay, I'm going to add onto this in a constructive manner in what I hope does not sound racist, but it is somewhat factual from a cultural perspective. If we did away with race in admissions, top schools would be about 70-75% Asian is my guess. It's not that they are smarter than the other races, it's just their culture to take school more seriously. Our typical American culture (or mine was as a boy) was to have fun and play sports. Like many kids, that's exactly what I did. The difference is that when I am spending hours playing sports, their parents are making them study and study and then study even more.

Again, I am not making this racial, I am just honest about why you have to have some things as a criteria to keep diversity because America is not Asia but at the firm I work for, the only candidates they will even consider are people who graduated from top ten schools. Therefore, it would mostly be Asian, and that lack of diversity would not work in today's climate (or yesterday's for that matter).
What ever happened to Martin Luther Kings...content of your characters and not the color you your skin. If you have the ability why should it matter the color of a person's skin?
Are you saying that ANY preferential depending of one's race is excpectable. I didn't see you mention other races besides blacks...you know there are other races that apply for schools of higher learning.
You did manage to say this is a racial issue...please point to the argument other than that??

it really wont make a difference

the marxists, despite the supreme court rulings or constitution or even that the majority of americans want a color blind society and affirmative action in college admissions to end, will find workarounds to the ruling and law

wokeism in its purist form, distilled to its logical conclusion, distains all objective truth

If you in fact went to college , you should ask for a refund , you failed to learn anything.
You are one of the most insulting posters on this board. I guess it’s a fact that the mods don’t read the post they wait on a titty baby to reprimand someone. Keep on with your classless insults, one can only be insulted by a person that value.

Stop attacking the OP and get on topic.

I think the Supreme decision is progress. Too many institutions of higher education used affirmative action as a financial crutch because they had quotas for admissions that provided them additional federal funding. With affirmative action gone it theoretically becomes more about merit. Whether that applicant is Asian, White, Black, Hispanic or other no longer matters.

Levels the playing field IMHO. Maybe the Hispanic applicant is the winner by merit over the Asian. But with affirmative action in place merit took a back seat. This decision changes college admissions in a big way. About time!

Well stated , racism is all most of the liberals know. Just as Roe v Wade wasn’t based on the United States Constitution neither is the affirmative action BS. Two wrongs righted to date by Trumps Court , now let’s strike down this paid tuition horseshit tomorrow. Thanks to this court for applying the constitution in your decisions

You wouldn't get past the talent acquisition team before they threw your resume away not only because of your lack of reading comprehension but also because of your inability to differentiate the meaning of "there" from "their". If you are going to waste your time trying to passively insult me, at least get the particulars straight.

Ace, I gave you a reasonable explanation as to why many schools choose diversity. Of course, you don't like my explanation because we both know that was not the point of this thread.

Anyway, thanks for the reminder. One of my old college roommates is Vietnamese. I haven't talked to him in a while. I completely forgot to call him back last week. Thanks again!

Going to college is for losers , I have you know I was third in my graduation class of 23 the V and S loved to make good grades they beat me by less than 1 point and I never carried a book home. Difference was I didn’t give a shit, I was more interested in work. A book education doesn’t matter ,you still have to suck ass to ascend the ladder. Be careful not to break your arm patting yourself on the back. It truly is childlike.

It seems the “Rifleman” has a serious beef with cultures that preach education over other activities during one’s formative years.
