Biden Administration Asks Supreme Court To Ignore Harvard Asian Discrimination Case
- Thread starter ipatent
- Start date
It's pure entertainment for me in the politics section. Rubbing in the good news of the past week.
Regardless, a lot of people are confusing Racial Quotas with Affirmative Action but affirmative action is now officially impacted in college admissions.
In my opinion, quotas are very different and very problematic. It’s like a quick fix to diversify university admissions. Thus, having and keeping a numerical goal is a problem...schools like Harvard and Univ. of North Carolina abused their race quota policies.
Affirmative Action deals with fighting discrimination in the workplace, institution, education, and hundreds of other situations...I gave a few examples in my prior recent replies.
Anyways, I've never been a fan of racial quotas in college admissions even though many top universities banned those types of policies in the admission process a few decades ago except Harvard and Univ. of North Carolina.
- Was there a big stink about California when they banned racial quotas ???
Another example of Affirmative Action policies and Alternative race-neutral policies...the number of Asian-American officers in the Army grew by 41% between 2004 and 2016. I remember at OCS there were about 8 Asians in my class but my old man once told me there were only 2 Asians in his OCS class...
That's a 300% increase from one generation to the next generation between my old man and myself when we both served as military officers.
Below are two different pictures of West Point cadets at West Point Academy...a class many years after my ex-spouse class.
Seriously, at the rate we're going...Women, Asians, and people of color will be the face of the United States Military as officers and enlisted. It will become an ironic welcome contrast to "Make America Great Again".
Can anyone identify the Asian, Hispanic, Black, Native Americans in the below West Point Academy graduation picture ?
Hint: Asians outnumber other people of color by 5x. The number of White cadets in the above picture is 17% less than the prior year graduation class. Also, other ethnic groups have been dramatically increasing at our military academies.
Reminder, the military banned racial quotas several decades ago. Yet, people of color and women have been increasing in their military officer ranks and as cadets at our military academies because they use "race-conscious policies".
Currently, women represent about 27% of Naval Academy students, 22% of Air Force Academy cadets, and 22% of students at West Point.
- Using nearly 25 years of nominations from 1994 to the upcoming school year, researchers found 21% of their nominees overall have been women. That percentage increasingly has risen over the last ten years. It went from 17% in 2009 to 26% in 2019.
The point I'm making...you can eliminate racial quotas while still increasing the number of Hispanics, Blacks, Native Americans, Asians, or any other person of color. It will be increasing but maybe not at the pace some want to see. Yet, it will be interesting to see how states like California are impacted even though those particular states had already banned racial quotas many years ago but have an increasing student body of people of color.
P.S. Military is exempt from the Supreme Court ruling but it uses alternative race-neutral policies instead of "race quotas".

Asians have a median IQ about 5 points higher than whites, and about 20 points higher than blacks.
Lazy? You are the epitome of such in your activity here. You were not asking a serious question.
Do you need to be hand fed anything else other people would simply Google if they had any genuine interest in children's welfare?

In fact, universities in the states that had already banned racial quotas many years ago have been successfully using alternative race-neutral policies such as Stanford (e.g. increasing enrollment for Hispanic, Black, Native Americans, and Foreign students) and even the U.S. military (e.g. increasing the number of Asian, Women, people of color as military officers and accepting more of them in today's military academies).

By the way, the military has become much better at screening (weeding out) extremist, hateful behavior as it prepares its fighting force. I think this is one of the main reasons why we have more Asians, Women, and other people of color commanding the U.S. military forces.

Quotas were deemed unconstitutional already so the SC didnt need to touch this case except.for political reasons. Having a diverse class is not about discrimination so I hope all those students who.got rejected file lawsuits since the SC now gave them a ridiculous cause of action.
It is discriminatory if diversity was achieved by admitting students who would have been rejected in lieu of other students who scored better on the admission metrics but were not of the "desired" race or color.
And yes all rejected students who have evidence that they scored higher than the lowest admitted students should file a suit. Harvard and Co have large enough endowment funds to pay for their wrongdoing and still do just fine. If you disagree then you should be in favor of blocking reparations for Jews, indigenous or blacks for wrongdoing when unconstitutional laws at the times were enacted that did not make abuse or killings illegal. You can't have it both ways.
