From the Harvard Crimson:
Lead Trial Lawyer for SFFA Criticizes Ruling in Harvard Admissions Lawsuit
By Camille G. Caldera, Crimson Staff Writer
October 9, 2019Students for Fair Admissions’s lead trial lawyer Adam K. Mortara denounced the recent ruling in the Harvard admissions lawsuit, arguing at a Harvard Law School event Tuesday that the judge had misinterpreted the case’s facts and legal precedents. …
The lawsuit has exposed thousands of pages of internal documents, shedding light on the College’s famously secretive admissions process. One such document was a 2013 report by Harvard’s Office of Institutional Research, which found that Asian American applicants consistently receive lower personal ratings — numerical scores assigned to applicants based on abstract qualities like “humor” and “grit.” …
Mortara also challenged Burroughs’ tacit acceptance of the discrepancy in personal ratings as insufficient evidence of discrimination.
“No one — not Judge Burroughs, not Harvard — has ever explained how it is that African Americans and Hispanics just have much better objective personal qualities than white and Asian applicants,” he said. “They’ve never done it.”
“I guess there’s just something more personally appealing about African American and Hispanic applicants,” Mortara quipped. In response, at least a dozen students in the crowd voiced their agreement, shouting, “There is!”
“Diversity” was always an unstable conceptual foundation for the affirmative action regime. It has required ever more intense emotional investment in the supposed benefits that non-Asian non-whites conferred on others simply through their proximity.
Each legal challenge to affirmative action has ramped up this investment; the Asian-American discrimination lawsuit has turned it into a more or less overt form of idolatry.
“Diversity” was originally an expedient whereby conservative-minded judges reconciled themselves to permitting a form of “positive” discrimination which cut against the grain of the race-neutrality enshrined into both the equal protection clause and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The premise was that a diverse nation required diverse leadership, so whatever was needed to make that happen was a pragmatic necessity, and we were prepared to do that.
This pragmatism has given way to a form of racial mysticism that makes it not just defensible but somehow compulsory to shout out that some racial groups are inherently more appealing than others.
The “more than a dozen” Harvard Law School students reacted instantly and spontaneously — each individual responding alone, but as if coordinated by a shared set of assumptions.
Nothing could be more revealing about the underlying premise that has been affirmed in a federal court.
There’s an enormous effort at present among the type of people who attend Harvard Law School to reprogram their basic instincts to see black women’s hair as more attractive than blonde women’s hair to avoid slipping up and getting Canceled out of a fabulous career.
One of the odder side effects is that even though the hair of East Asian women and MesoAmerican women is quite similar, Asians are currently seen as “white-adjacent” and thus Bad, while the latter are seen as black-adjacent and thus objectively better.
At least in theory. In practice, nobody much cares about mestizos, other than their swelling numbers.
Any bets on the racial demographics of the shouters?
I'd bet they were all White; but I wouldn't be surprised otherwise.
Would they be white, indicating the sort of Stalinesque programming and virtue signally SS alludes to?
Or are they black, thus free to publicly affirm their race -- and know to be loud in public?
And, of course why not both?Replies: @Kronos
Maybe they thought they were at the movies and were yelling at the screen.
The correct answer is the shouters are jews.
Wesley Yang’s reaction to this gives me an idea. With the success of The Joker, why not an origin story movie for The Riddler? Make the Riddler an Asian man, who’s angry at being passed over for admission by NAMs who can’t solve his riddles. Maybe his day job is test prep instructor.
When will we defend ourselves? Every day our physical safety is threatened by wage-slashing corner-cutting employers of illegals, from the employers of harvesters of vegetables who don’t wash hands, to unworthy construction projects that fall on our heads. Every business which so much as screws up its face at mandatory e-Verify should be collapsed. This more than actually enforcing existing law (which already has proven too much for our failed government) is the real cost of securing the border.

When we stop caring about being called anti-semetic.
Everyone knows why the world is the way it is and everyone instinctively knows how to react to every situation, nothing requires a moment of elucidation what’s more, true to underpinning socialisation through school and media, no one seeks an explanation because everyone knows exactly why you will be punished if you step out of line and what the punishment is: ostracism and financial ruin.
The mystery is how you think you’ve cornered some niche of knowing what we don’t know already.
It’s like you’re being rewarded for being the most verbosely clueless last to know.

That sounds like one of the second generation rationales for Affirmative Action, not the original one. I’ve never heard it before. I originally heard that because blacks had been discriminated against in the past, we were going to err a little on their side in the future until they caught up. For example, a proponent of AA would say, “If two applicants for a position are equally qualified, give it to the black applicant.”
We gradually transitioned to the current “more or less overt form of idolatry” as it became apparent that African Americans were never going to catch up.
Harry, you're right on the money in pointing out that the well-intentioned affirmative action underwent a massive social transformation. Business resisted at first; then it embraced its gamed version of affirmative action to beat down wage demands from those uppity, family-forming White males.
Plus, talented people of color from other nations started looking good as prospects. Why hire resentful, sullen Dujuan from the 'hood, or his son with the bullshit degree from the local Podunk Tech, when a polished, upmarket African or sprightly American gal can work the same AA mojo for you without the baggage? Awful stuff really, in my opinion.
Our gatekeepers, academics and feature journalists, won't be permitted a forthright analysis of affirmative action. Consensual censorship, or call it what you will.

Wesley Yang is not amused:…

Unamusement about this kind of thing is understandable: college admission is zero sum, and kids’ futures are (unfairly) affected.
But until the Supreme Court takes a different stand than it did in Grutter v. Bollinger, there is enough precedent for any court to (routinely) rule as in the Harvard case — any plaintiff must be prepared to appeal all the way to the SC; otherwise it’s just a waste of time and money.

“Each legal challenge to affirmative action has ramped up this investment; the Asian-American discrimination lawsuit has turned it [affirmative action] into a more or less overt form of idolatry.”
Yes.
It’s pretty damned sad to see America fall prey to this sort of phoney-baloney stuff, but there it is. My feeling is affirmative action, that bland phrase, conceals a whole mess of derivative evils that we probably can’t rid ourselves of effectively without a constitutional convention, secessionary pressure (thanks Audacious Epigone), and so on.
Our corporations have gamed affirmative action to their benefit. Plus, Yang rightly observes this horseshit has achieved the status of a secular idol. Too bad for all of us.

Not much about it in the MSM over here for some reason.
Affirmative action is primarily about how it makes goodwhites feel about themselves for magnanimously giving a leg up to the noble savages – there is no evidence it actually benefits the other groups that get to be in proximity to exotic victim classes, and not many of its supposed beneficiaries receive lasting advantages from it either.
Make a generation of Ivy Leaguers spend two years in social work, inner city teaching, or property management of urban apartment communities as a graduation requirement, and affirmative action would be history.
Nowhere is the legacy of white privilege more pronounced than in these schools. No life-advantage is greater than an Ivy credential. Blacks should have exclusive rights to the latter in order to level the playing field.
Harvard in particular has no argument against accepting such a transformation. It has just argued vociferously to place racial justice over achievement in admissions; its faculty, students, and alumni largely support that view. Harvard has a historic role to play in repairing the legacy of slavery; if it is not already among the historically black colleges, what’s the holdup?Replies: @Arclight

We’ve known East Asians are honorary Arians for decades, but only now are the admissions boards looking to stake out a more official position on the matter.
Andrew Sullivan has an excellent suggestion for Harvard:
An alternative option for expanding racial diversity is sitting in plain sight though. It wouldn’t rest on a neo-Marxist view of America; nor be a paradoxical liberal attempt to create a temporary exception for color-blindness in order to get to color-blindness in the future. That option is simply to end policies that rig the admissions process to benefit the super-rich and super-privileged. I’m talking about legacy admissions.
Yes, almost all of these students are white, but the criterion for choosing not to admit them is not their race, but simple fairness. No one should get an unearned advantage, by race or by class and connections and heredity. And one of the benefits of subjecting Harvard to discovery in this trial was the revelation that a whopping 43 percent of white students at Harvard are legacy and special admissions, i.e. there because they’re athletes, legacies, Dean’s List, or children of faculty. Of those, 70 percent would not be there on merit alone.
If you ended this affirmative action for the super-rich and connected, you’d free up almost a full third of admissions. It’s win-win! More fairness and more racial balance. And there are no constitutional issues involved in Harvard actually using academic merit as the core criterion for admission. What better way to attack “white supremacy” than ending a program that gives extra advantages to the already privileged and not-so-smart?
What about it, Harvard? Time to check your own privilege, methinks, before you tell anyone else to check theirs.
That freed-up third would go almost entirely to deserving Whites and Asians. Win for fairness, loss for racial balance. (Good riddance.)
Really, "more racial balance" -- Who'd he think he was kidding?
I've no doubt that Sullivan himself, working-class Irish lad that he was, would have found Oxford a much less enriching experience without the gilded sons of the aristocracy still gracing its storied halls in his day.

Some of those cranks probably read Andrew Sullivan, and he is relatively numerate, so it's possible he could be set straight on this issue.
And if you're going by grades & SAT scores, you get very few blacks and Hispanics--much fewer than currently. So you're just moving the chairs around on the Titanic for a different set of people who get in the lifeboats. Doesn't seem to answer the question.
If it is the case (and it sure seems like it) that we are doomed to have an Eternal Holy Magick Science of Racial Bean-Counting for Every Sweet Spot in Society, then the absolutely most important, first-order priority will of course be…
to dis-aggregate Jews from Whites in the racial bean-counting sweepstakes.
Whites and (((Fellow Whites))) must be counted separately, so that we can all see quite clearly who sits where, and why.
Once the game of Racial Musical Chairs is lighted clearly, and we see with our own eyes how, every single time the music stops, Good Jewish Privilege is quite obviously seen to trump alleged Evil White Privilege, then we can get a clear and strict accounting of who gets what.
Unless and until that happens, any system of affirmative action must be viewed as intellectually, morally, and socially unserious, and basically evil, racist, and insane.

In other words, Yang proved their point by writing humorless article about it. Asians have a lot of grit, but humor isn’t their strong suit.
The language that increasingly dominates elite discourse pretty well captures this idolatry. In my job, I am unfortunately often expected to attend various talks about “diversity.” Normal language usage would suggest that “diverse” is a word that described some sort of plural entity. One could say, for instance, that Italian cuisine is “diverse,” because there are a lot of variations between different regions, or that the climate of Colombia is “diverse.”
But, in the corporate context, “diverse” is increasingly used to refer to a trait that some people are imagined to have, and that others lack. At a recent corporate “diversity” event, for instance, I was encouraged to imagine how a “diverse person” might feel in a certain situation. In this ideology, non-white people—the sole possessors of the preeminent value of “diversity”—are seen as intrinsically better and more valuable than whites (and, in some circumstances, Asians).
Also OT.

Twinkie’s lament aside, perhaps we’d all be better off if we all didn’t give a rat’s ass who did or didn’t get into Harvard. I sure don’t – my Dad passed on a very good attitude, that is, have some integrity and go to college to learn, not for some political connections.
All this stems inevitably from the premise that a “diverse” nation requires “diverse” leadership. Complaining about Diversity Über Alles™ when one accepts the alleged necessity of Diverse™ leadership is like complaining that your boat is flooding after you shot through the bottom with a shotgun.
I need just one word to draw a through line between all of these moving parts:
Weave.
The Negrophilia preceded the Bakkedecision. The facts of the case indicated that UC Davis Medical school had a “special” admissions program for blacks and “Chicanos” and was admitting them with GPAs as low as 2.0 and MCAT scores in the 25th-30th percentile. Alan Bakke was twice rejected with a 3.95 GPA and MCATs in the 95-99% range.
The Court was forced to declare that naming specific races for preferential treatment violated the 14th Amendment. In order to allow affirmative action to continue, however, they postulated the sophism that that discrimination to achieve “diversity,” which did not name specific races in so many words, was permissible.
Lead counsel gets it. He’ll continue to make this a big issue if the SCOTUS will allow for appeals.
I like how he the “white” in there even though the plaintiff and the case is technically only Asian.

The rationale for letting in underperforming blacks is to enrich non-blacks, yet when they attend universities, they want separate fraternities, separate orientations, separate clubs, and so on. And many of them major in African American studies, where most of the professors and students are also black.
By the way, has anyone else noticed the phenomenon where white liberals will say derogatory things about Asians while putting blacks on a pedestal?

Discrimination claims required evidence. There was no evidence that Northern universities had ever discriminated so they needed another legal rationale.

I vaguely remember that the hierarchy of evil in the comic books that I used to read in the 1960s was The Penguin, The Joker, Catwoman and lastly, Riddler.
In the movies, Jack Nicholson's star turn in the 1989 movie really fixed the character in the public's mind as Batman's principal nemesis. Danny De Vito's Penguin in the movie that followed was an honorable try, but subsequent scriptwriters, directors, and actors really saw the Joker, after Nicholson, as the principal nemesis, the character with the most artistic possibilities.
The campy 1966 movie doesn't really count, as it was pretty much a straight adaptation of the light-hearted TV series. And it was a very long time ago.
One of the last late-era Simpsons episodes I ever saw had a B-plot where Lisa met Michelle Obama after interacting online. Upon meeting her, Lisa gushed that she was “the most glamorous and beautiful woman in the world.”

Have Asians done much to deserve whites’ allyship in this case? From what I can tell, many prominent Asians are anti white SJW types.
Your question seems to be rhetorical, or ironic, but I don’t see why.
Would they be white, indicating the sort of Stalinesque programming and virtue signally SS alludes to?
Or are they black, thus free to publicly affirm their race — and know to be loud in public?
And, of course why not both?
Whites have no dog in this fight between Asians and liberal elites. Both groups are hostile to whites and want to replace us. It’s sickening how since around 2000, white conservatives have simply stopped talking about anti-white discrimination at all, but find the time to whine that 20% isn’t enough Asians at Harvard. Absolutely sick. What is it going to take for white conservatives to start seeing the world in terms of what is good for whites? Will the idea occur to them when they are being rounded up for re-education? I suspect many will be babbling about “I don’t see color” and “Democrats are the real racists” as they are being hauled away in chains by the Diversity Police.
Steve,
The reasons that Asians are viewed as “White-Adjacent” is because their numbers are small, and alientating them isn’t electoral destruction for the Democrats. In addition they are fairly wealthy and successful despite adversity in the collegate system, so Democrats can milk them with minimal impact.
MesoAmerican’s are a different breed. They are less successful than Asians, but their income has been rising far more rapidly than any other group in America for the last 20 years or so. Especially in the last 5-6 years. But, they are very politically-incorrect, and while economically left-leaning, are more like Wesley Yang in race-relations than Sarah Jeong. And they are far-more numerous. If Democrats alienate them, then it would result in electoral destruction. Democrats pretend to love Hispanics for their votes, and ignore all the other factors of Hispanicization, like mass gentrification of Blacks by Latinos.
California is a very good example of this. MesoAmericans have essentially BTFO’d Africans from pleasant, economically successful Coastal California, and many Black leaders have spoken out about this. But, Latinos voters are too strong, so the Democrats bite their tounges, and stick with it. Also, Latinos voted against Gay Marriage in 2008, but you won’t find any Democrats complaning.
White Liberals would hate people like Hispanics, but they already alientated working class Whites, so they have to ally with Hispanics, or they face Electoral Destruction. So Latinos are “Black adjacent” and good, and if they can’t stomach the lie, then they just outright ignore them

It is not so much the hair itself, but rather the types of creatures the hair is attached to. Compare Ana Navarro (the Nicaraguan piglet) to any of a whole array of K-pop stars, including the late, lamented Sulli (RIP). Attractive-Bad, Unattractive-Good.
A bit unfair, East Asians are, correctly, seen as having high social mobility and wealth, higher than whites, so they aren’t seen as a cohort that needs uplifting. For the purposes of SJWism, East Asians are still ‘diverse’ and East Asians are still just as twitchy as Jews are about immigration and a commitment to the ethnic displacement of old-stock Americans.
East Asians are still part of the Starbucks-American coalition that wants to make America a giant condo.
Because it’s the ultimate antagonist, he is a kind of pure antagonist that you can take in lots of different directions to make any kind of film you want. Plus the makeup means any actor fades into the role making him more ‘real’ and memorable as a character. (Except maybe Jack Nicholson, who was just Jack Nicholson.)
I honestly have started to feel some sympathy for black women. I’ve always thought their hair was gross and ugly, but I had no idea until recently how much time, money, and inconvenience has to be invested to get it to that state of gross and ugly and keep it there.
The bald and crew cut looks don’t work on black women since their facial features tend to be so unfeminine. I think the teased-out, medium length “female astronaut” look might be adequate and give relief from all the upkeep.
It’s especially odious when you consider that the courts are not merely saying that “diversity” is a plausibly good thing that is not irrational for private entities to pursue. The AA cases say that “diversity” is, by definition, such an obviously “compelling state interest” that it justifies exceptions to the plain language of the Constitution. (This is under the so-called “strict scrutiny” standard of review that applies to apparent constitutional violations).
If the Supreme Court were to apply the same logic to other Constitutional rights they would, for example, permit state governments to regulate newspaper op-ed pages to ensure they represent the correct “diversity” of opinion that the government deems optimal.
I think even liberal legal scholars will tacitly admit at this point that the Supreme Court’s entire affirmative action jurisprudence is nothing but a disingenuous sham that was reverse-engineered to legally justify what the court believed was a necessary political outcome.
“A diverse nation requires diverse leadership” = the elite of each ethnic subgroup need to be inculcated in the same orthodoxy as white elites to help keep their coethnics in line. Otherwise historically black colleges might develop their own social science theories about blacks that actually compete for black intellectual mindshare with what Harvard and Yale say about blacks.
Yang fails to consider the following:
-High Asian SAT scores are facilitated by a culture of route memorization and cram schools, usually starting many years if not decades prior to college application. This type of SAT prep is unhealthy and also confuses the cognitive assessment accuracy of the test.
-The personality assessments are correct. Asians, overwhelmingly, tend to be shy, meek, clannish, overly deferential to authority, and less creative.( I exclude South Asians from this). It’s not unreasonable for elite universities to work to prevent their % of Asian students from going over 20%. They seek to train the future elite, and Asian characteristics do not align with the traits Americans like to see in their leaders.
-Asians make up less 6% of the U.S population. By any reasonable standard, they are already vastly overrepresented among university students.
-Asians are relatively new to America and their loyalty is questionable. Chinese-Americans are regularly in the news for handing state and trade secrets to China.
-Tax payer money supports all universities, including elite private ones that receive billions in grants. Therefore, the diversity of the nation must be reflected in all institutions.
-The temperament and career interests (e.g pharmacist, doctor, dentist) of the typical straight-A, tiger-mom raised, cram school Asian with fake ECs done only to get into elite colleges is better served attending local universities rather than Harvard and its like.

Comment here more for the author than anyone else…
I’ve long thought that a lot of the craziness we get from “the left” amounts to a mutated form brought on by an unwillingness of earlier center-and-right-leaning leaders to work in good faith.
IOW–you had round one, say, where “the left” essentially represented a posture that was a reasonable paeon to holding a diverse and fractured republic, together–but this reasonable paeon was-just-not-acceptable, so every short-sighted political move was spent to spoil the reasonable posture, leading to the opposition returning behind the trench line, re-factoring, and returning as something much, much worse than before.
Examples abound–besides identity politics we could look at trade or healthcare, both of which the right has essentially steered the country into trillion-dollar sized ditches rather than make reasonable accommodation to the 21st century, but AA, topic-du jour, is an excellent example too.
As you often elide knowledge of in your articles–1960s style AA was/is more sophisticated than it is almost ever presented. AA was not “quotas”, instead it could be seen as three things: 1) an expectation of a commitment by (large, not small) employers to “affirmatively” work to be sure opportunities are made available to specific populations known to have been subject to past discrimination, 2) “pipeline” affirmative action, meaning that all along the pipeline to job opportunities, communities, education providers and businesses were asked to cooperate to provide -affirmative- work to make sure that preparation opportunites were also available to these specific populations … this for example may counter the effect where a household of say western-European extraction endows their children with sound knowledge of business and technology careers, but a family from another background, suffering little more than ignorance, literally isn’t aware of those opportunities to impress their own children with, and 3) defensive AA, i.e.: the closest actual thing to a “quota”, whereby for (again: large, not small) employers, statistics must be kept so that in the case of an EO/AA claim, if a statistical pattern of failing to hire/promote a specific group exists, then where it comes to the contested case, the company must prove it didn’t discriminate (i.e.: a reversal of the burden of proof, on a case by case basis – and only when statistics deem it warranted).
The latter too is fairly easily undone-for example, if a company dismisses a protected minority from a role and the former employee files a complaint or sues, then the case is as much as dismissed if the replacement is a minority.
OK – that’s a lot of verbiage – much tougher than saying “quotas, boo hoo!”, but that’s what the actual law, actually was, and … is.
There’s nothing in the law about “diversity”. Diversity is an extra-legal method of making an end-run around the practical limits of AA that morph it into something it was never designed to be and it results in perversions exactly like what we see at Harvard, or the satirical/not-satirical cases of “all diverse” teams that are anything but.
And check it out: you have the entire right-wing, from left-center all the way to “alt-right”, responding extra-legislatively, through lawsuits or media, to “diversity”, rather than taking any legislative steps at all – when we have legislation to crush injustices and mob movements – just like this .
In other words: the right as much as completely impotented itself. It uselessly resists something that is extra-legal to start with.
Rather than having these interminable disputes that seem to go nowhere except further down the rabbit hole an alternative posture would be to ask-demand, that GOP elected officials reinvigorate and strenuously enforce – affirmative action laws – as written, specifically with an intent to expose and clobber the sham that is “diversity”.
Let the left twist itself in knots resisting a right-wing that is: all gung-ho on Affirmative Action, i.e.: “Yes – Affirmative Action!, No – extra-legal diversity”.
How is the (U.S. government defined) “white” majority harmed by:
1. Institutions taking objective steps to make sure opportunities are made available to everyone
2. Institutions taking objective, affirmative steps to assure pipelines to opportunity are exposed to and available to everyone
3. Are subject to defensible judicial tests of non-discrimination
?
AA – really isn’t that bad – but for three decades we were told it was “quotas” and so it didn’t get effectively implemented, it was diffused to assist people it was never meant for (upper middle class white women and Caribbean immigrants, e-hem), and since it was so effectively fought we got the mutated, Maoist form instead.
2. OK
3. ROTFLMAO! Do you really think the approaches we have now would pass such a test?
As long as disparate impact is considered de facto evidence of discrimination there is no hope of your 3. ever happening.
Or do you think all races have equal average abilities and interests?
I would much rather talk to someone who’s Asian than someone who is black or Hispanic. I would expect the Asian to understand what I’m talking about, and I would expect the Asian to avoid childish hysterics. These are traits I appreciate.
I think there’s something else going on here. College interviewers and admissions officers are often female. They’re the sort of smug SJW types who like to play Lady Bountiful. But they want the psychological payoff for it, they want to see that groveling act of eagerness to please and gratitude for a favor conferred that’s more characteristic of Butterfly McQueen than Admiral Tojo.
“Miss Scarlett! Miss Scarlett! Please save me from that awful UPenn, please, please you gots too!”
SJW interviewer: *preens*
Asian applicant: “Well, if I don’t get into Harvard, I’ll just go to Berkeley or MIT.”
SJW interviewer: *wilts*
The interviewers hate people who actually see themselves as naturally superior, and unlike blacks or Hispanics, Asians have a history of doing that. Their lack of demonstrativeness reeks of a sense of confidence, and they know they’re getting where they’re going entirely on their own merits, not because someone did them a favor. But if an SJW can’t do a favor, then there’s no emotional payoff for being an SJW.
Also, SJWs don’t like interviewing people who act like they’re superior to the interviewer (or who act like they know they’ll end up with a better-paying and higher status job than the interviewer). SJW’s don’t like people who don’t suck up to them or play their game, and Asians tend to avoid that.
After all, what’s the fun in being a gatekeeper if you can’t consign people who didn’t suck up to you to the outer darkness?
The Court was forced to declare that naming specific races for preferential treatment violated the 14th Amendment. In order to allow affirmative action to continue, however, they postulated the sophism that that discrimination to achieve "diversity," which did not name specific races in so many words, was permissible.Replies: @Anon
Medical schools allow sub-par blacks and Hispanics in for a very specific reason. They know that if they don’t, there won’t be any doctors practicing in black ghettos and Hispanic communities. Smart whites won’t go into private practice in those places. Med schools believe that a sub-par doctor is still better than no doctor at all.

Combs and brushes be rayciss an' sheeit
If I recall, LADY JUSTICE O’CONNOR penned the majority opinion, in which she stated that Affirmative Action should no longer be necessary in twenty five years after the publication of the opinion, after which time it should magically become unconstitutional. (2003 + 25 = 2028)
One would think with a rather short time horizon until the Affirmative Action carriage turns into a pumpkin, there would be much more talk about what the end of Affirmative Action will mean to our greatest strength.

The reasons that Asians are viewed as "White-Adjacent" is because their numbers are small, and alientating them isn't electoral destruction for the Democrats. In addition they are fairly wealthy and successful despite adversity in the collegate system, so Democrats can milk them with minimal impact.
MesoAmerican's are a different breed. They are less successful than Asians, but their income has been rising far more rapidly than any other group in America for the last 20 years or so. Especially in the last 5-6 years. But, they are very politically-incorrect, and while economically left-leaning, are more like Wesley Yang in race-relations than Sarah Jeong. And they are far-more numerous. If Democrats alienate them, then it would result in electoral destruction. Democrats pretend to love Hispanics for their votes, and ignore all the other factors of Hispanicization, like mass gentrification of Blacks by Latinos.
California is a very good example of this. MesoAmericans have essentially BTFO'd Africans from pleasant, economically successful Coastal California, and many Black leaders have spoken out about this. But, Latinos voters are too strong, so the Democrats bite their tounges, and stick with it. Also, Latinos voted against Gay Marriage in 2008, but you won't find any Democrats complaning.
White Liberals would hate people like Hispanics, but they already alientated working class Whites, so they have to ally with Hispanics, or they face Electoral Destruction. So Latinos are "Black adjacent" and good, and if they can't stomach the lie, then they just outright ignore them

Especially as the influence and concerns of woke oligarchs and upper-middle class liberals increasingly overrides just about everything else?
Donald Trump won the primary simply because he was not Jeb Bush. He didn’t anything more, even a coherent program of his own. Imagine what could happen with a maverick actively willing to plot a new path: one that actually benefits ordinary American citizens more than foreigners-rich and poor-and multinational corporations.
Trump had been talking about trade policy and an out of balance foreign policy for decades, but Trump added a strong immigration component to his policy prescriptions, and he went absolutely politician berserker in bashing the Iraq War debacle of George W Bush. Voters loved it.
Trump also attacked GOP politicians for being puppets of GOP donors -- such as GOP donor Paul Singer owning GOP politician Marco Rubio -- and the GOP voter base rocketed Trump to the top of the polls.
I think Trump's main booster to winning over GOP presidential primary voters in 2016 was the IMMIGRATION issue. George W Bush had pushed amnesty for illegal alien invaders, and the GOP voters were in a boiling rage over that. Then McCain, Graham and Rubio and many other GOP politicians pushed the nation-wrecking Rubio/Obama Mass Legal Immigration Surge -- Illegal Alien Amnesty immigration bill(S 744) in 2013. Boehner had to kill that immigration bill(S 744) in the US House to prevent a bloody civil war over immigration policy in the GOP. That further riled up a large portion of the GOP electorate.
Jeb Bush was just the baby boomer boob whore politician that the GOP ruling class and the GOP donors wanted to force on the GOP voters. Trump easily took out Paleo diet low energy Jebby Bush. Carbohydrates, in moderation, are necessary for energy and endurance!

I feel that for the 2020 race, Donald Trump should try to focus on African/Muslim immigrants more than Hispanic immigration, since the data is so bad for the former that it would be very useful in pulling off Hispanics and Asians. Bonus, he might convince some White suburbanites to switch parties as well.
Considering how Asians and Hispanics vote on local levels for issues like crime and zoning laws(they support making it difficult for Africans to live in their neighborhood), I would feel like it would be pretty easy to racially prime them like White voters to vote in a similar manner.
An alternative option for expanding racial diversity is sitting in plain sight though. It wouldn’t rest on a neo-Marxist view of America; nor be a paradoxical liberal attempt to create a temporary exception for color-blindness in order to get to color-blindness in the future. That option is simply to end policies that rig the admissions process to benefit the super-rich and super-privileged. I’m talking about legacy admissions.
Yes, almost all of these students are white, but the criterion for choosing not to admit them is not their race, but simple fairness. No one should get an unearned advantage, by race or by class and connections and heredity. And one of the benefits of subjecting Harvard to discovery in this trial was the revelation that a whopping 43 percent of white students at Harvard are legacy and special admissions, i.e. there because they’re athletes, legacies, Dean’s List, or children of faculty. Of those, 70 percent would not be there on merit alone.
If you ended this affirmative action for the super-rich and connected, you’d free up almost a full third of admissions. It’s win-win! More fairness and more racial balance. And there are no constitutional issues involved in Harvard actually using academic merit as the core criterion for admission. What better way to attack “white supremacy” than ending a program that gives extra advantages to the already privileged and not-so-smart?

Why go to college at all to learn? If you want to learn something, go get a book, download coursework from online, and make sure to set yourself mechanisms to ensure you are actually learning-homework, Feynman processes, etc. Some-MIT-have it all organized for you already. If you want to ratchet up the difficulty of freshman calculus to an introductory analysis course, Caltech’s stuff is there, if you are compulsively scared of baby algebra because you were mathematically abused like most Americans, there’s plenty of places that have an analogy-centered learning style that can overcome that.
The real answer people go to college is because many employers demand degrees simply because they can: it is a useful filtering mechanism. That, and social connections. The dirty little secret is that a lot of jobs that require a BS-including introductory Wall Street positions-can be done by a sufficiently motivated, intelligent high school student after maybe 6 months of training.
I suppose it would bother me less if society was more honest about that. I’m not against education. I deeply believe that it is better for society if people knew stuff as opposed to not knowing stuff. If we had a system where a plumber or a schoolteacher who wanted to go learn quantum mechanics in his/her spare time could do so and meet with other people who were, that’d be freaking fantastic. What I’m against is pseudo-education that drives people into massive debt for no constructive purpose.
However , jobs still got done perfectly well by people who had not been to college. Prime Minister John Major never went to college, but learned the banking profession through on-the-job training, as did many other professions and occupations like law, nursing, police, or real estate agents.

Pursuing a trade allowed me to earn a very comfortable living while having the time to truly educate myself.
I am comfortable discussing just about any subject with anyone from pre-schoolers, high-school dropouts, to those with advanced degrees and PhDs.
In fact, I have had PhDs remark positively about how truly educated I am despite lacking a college degree. There has been some negative criticism from insecure college types about my alternative learning of various subjects to these misguided individuals who resent my extensive knowledge and lifelong love for learning, despite not possessing a "college degree"..
In my younger years, it used to bother me, but no more it is THEIR problem, not mine.
Opening one's mind does not require a college degree. In fact, there are those who made great strides in science and technology despite not having a college degree.
One prime example of this is the story of Stanford Ovshinsky. A machinist by trade, he came up with the idea of "amorphous semiconductors". Traditional semiconductors are fabricated from crystalline structures, by complicated processes, which are then "doped" with various impurities to gives them unique electrical characteristics.
Ovshinsky's method utilized non-crystalline methods which could be simply "sprayed" on a surface, while possessing these unique electrical characteristics, much less expensive to produce. He took his ideas to local universities, whose professors scoffed at him and told him that his ideas would not work.
He still pursued his line of " thinking outside the box" and was extremely successful.
Multinational corporations such as Sony and Sharp have licensed his patented technology. These same universities, who initially rejected him, in later years, have invited him as a peer and have finally embraced his unconventional methods who they initially said wouldn't work.
Thinking outside the box can be a lonely pursuit, but is quite often necessary to advance the technology. Mr. Ovshinsky himself, admitted that if he had received a traditional college education, he would not have come up with his successful ideas...
Nowhere is the legacy of white privilege more pronounced than in these schools. No life-advantage is greater than an Ivy credential. Blacks should have exclusive rights to the latter in order to level the playing field.
Harvard in particular has no argument against accepting such a transformation.

Harvard has a historic role to play in repairing the legacy of slavery; if it is not already among the historically black colleges, what’s the holdup?Replies: @Arclight

Black, white, latino, whatever – spend some time working in a community and trying to make sure they keep the place nice and pay the rent on time will teach you a lot about how the other half lives and the decisions they make (repeatedly). To be sure, there are some that have their act together and are doing the best they can with the hand they were dealt, but there are a lot that will obliterate the idea that all that is required is a bit more taxpayer-financed ‘investment’ to turn them into Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

That’s not how it traditionally works in most multi-racial societies. Usually, what you have are different ethnic groups dominating different sectors and occupying-by and large-different strata of society. Different degrees of assimilation and intermarriage existed, depending on the given society, as did who happened to be occupying what role at the given time (when Rome fell into chaos in the 3rd Century, it was Balkan peasant generals who ended up dominating the later crisis years, and during Alexander III’s reign in Russia, there was a concerted effort to move away from Baltic German domination of the bureaucracy and military through intense Russification policies), but it was never anything remotely close to an even, “proportionate” ethnic ratio at the apex.
I suspect that Razib Khan is right: the practical end result of what our elites are pushing for would be something akin to the Ottoman millet system. Many posters here are wrong when they say multiculturalism never works: it has worked very often in history. Just not with Anglo-Saxon style democracy. I suppose this partially explains the increasingly ill-hidden authoritarian wetdreams of our ruling class-their jealousy of China is palpable.

True, speaking of the weakness of the Coalition of the Fringes, I always felt that if you ran a racialist campaign against Africans/African Immigrants, focusing on immigration, crime, disorder, etc, you would break the Coalition of the Fringes and get vast shares of the Hispanic and Asian vote.

Yeah, employers are deathly allergic to training anyone these days, and in the United States, government policy actively coddles them, regardless of how counterproductive this is for society as a whole.
I think another major issue is pressing a lot of people into college at 18 years old when they have no idea on what to do with their lives yet. There are a lot people out there who are intellectually and emotionally capable of thriving in university at 28 who aren’t (or would pass, but not do so optimally) at 18, but the system is financially structured to heavily incentivize people going at 18 (note that “prestige” schools more or less demand you apply out of high school), not to mention all the non-financial pressures at an age where people are at their most vulnerable to social appeals.

The Negrophilia–basically the role of blacks as the sine qua non of diversity–is not hard to explain.
Minoritarianism is essentially–and definitely intellectually–a Jewish project. But Jewish claims of suffering in America–“they wouldn’t golf with me!”–are so laughably trivial and pathetic that, no matter how energizing to the Jewish victim psyche, smart Jews realized they some actual oppression to justify their minoritarian attack.
Black American history with slavery and Jim Crow are the justification for the minoritarian attack on white gentiles’ dominance, culture, nation.
Native Indians could have been useful–as natives have been in Canada and Australia. But they are considerable less numerous, less visible, less voluble and their story–basically being natives, hounded and supplanted by immigrant invaders–is clearly *not* the story, nor the moral arc, that Jews wanted to justify minoritarianism.
So blacks it was–and is. Blacks–and whatever suffering they endure or unfairness they are subjected to–are the living justification for minoritarianism. Minoritarianism sacred people.
~~~
American Jews have attempted to pose as “the natural allies”–really meaning “the leaders”–of blacks, backed by claims of common “oppression” by evil whitey. (Which makes one wonder why they couldn’t just go off and be free of us and de-oppress together?)
As i’ve pointed out this claim of common oppression is just laughable.
Blacks were brought here in chains against their will and forced to do slave stoop labor. And after their liberation, while blacks would have happily integrated, American whites refused to integrate with them, seeing them as inferior and primitive.
In contrast the Jews were a relatively rich and successful middle man minority in Europe. No one was making them live and be “oppressed” there, they simply refused to leave because the middle-manning was so darn lucrative. And rather than being refused integration by the majority, the most notable characteristic of the Jews, was their refusing integration with the gentiles (integration that had subsumed all other tribes) in order to keep themselves a racially distinct and separate tribe.
The black and Jewish experiences could hardly be more different. But historical accuracy or trivial questions of choice versus slavery are of no matter. What was required is a hammer to beat on whitey and justify taking his nation … so a black hammer it is.
You mean “Canadian?”
I had the opposite experience living in DC. Many of my white liberal friends would confess after a few drinks that after a couple of years of living there they regularly experienced thoughts that, if expressed aloud, would get them tagged as vile racists. That’s not to say many of them suddenly stopped voting Democratic, but many were totally off the white guilt bus after that, and generally moved to much less diverse neighborhoods as soon as they had the financial means to do so.
Nonsense!
White Core America will deport the Asians — of whatever point on the compass — and be done with them.
Remember, the central banker shysters are keeping the asset bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate pumped up with currency conjured out of thin air. Raise the federal funds rate to 20 percent, and impose a prohibitive tariff on Asia, remove the Asians from ownership of any corporations in the USA, and redeploy the American Empire out of Asia. De-globalization and de-financialization is on the way.
Debt repudiations and demographic deportations of a forcible kind can be used when the next round of the global financial implosion hits.

And then there’s the Kennedy School of Government.
That’s funny. I know quite a few of those as well. Its always “We moved to [insert lily-white suburb here] for the good schools. One thing we miss living here though is the diversity”. I’ll sometimes wink and say “by good schools, you mean no blacks right”? Some act horrified, some basically nod in agreement.
The reasons that Asians are viewed as "White-Adjacent" is because their numbers are small, and alientating them isn't electoral destruction for the Democrats. In addition they are fairly wealthy and successful despite adversity in the collegate system, so Democrats can milk them with minimal impact.
MesoAmerican's are a different breed. They are less successful than Asians, but their income has been rising far more rapidly than any other group in America for the last 20 years or so. Especially in the last 5-6 years. But, they are very politically-incorrect, and while economically left-leaning, are more like Wesley Yang in race-relations than Sarah Jeong. And they are far-more numerous. If Democrats alienate them, then it would result in electoral destruction. Democrats pretend to love Hispanics for their votes, and ignore all the other factors of Hispanicization, like mass gentrification of Blacks by Latinos.
California is a very good example of this. MesoAmericans have essentially BTFO'd Africans from pleasant, economically successful Coastal California, and many Black leaders have spoken out about this. But, Latinos voters are too strong, so the Democrats bite their tounges, and stick with it. Also, Latinos voted against Gay Marriage in 2008, but you won't find any Democrats complaning.
White Liberals would hate people like Hispanics, but they already alientated working class Whites, so they have to ally with Hispanics, or they face Electoral Destruction. So Latinos are "Black adjacent" and good, and if they can't stomach the lie, then they just outright ignore them

I've long thought that a lot of the craziness we get from "the left" amounts to a mutated form brought on by an unwillingness of earlier center-and-right-leaning leaders to work in good faith.
IOW--you had round one, say, where "the left" essentially represented a posture that was a reasonable paeon to holding a diverse and fractured republic, together--but this reasonable paeon was-just-not-acceptable, so every short-sighted political move was spent to spoil the reasonable posture, leading to the opposition returning behind the trench line, re-factoring, and returning as something much, much worse than before.
Examples abound--besides identity politics we could look at trade or healthcare, both of which the right has essentially steered the country into trillion-dollar sized ditches rather than make reasonable accommodation to the 21st century, but AA, topic-du jour, is an excellent example too.As you often elide knowledge of in your articles--1960s style AA was/is more sophisticated than it is almost ever presented. AA was not "quotas", instead it could be seen as three things: 1) an expectation of a commitment by (large, not small) employers to "affirmatively" work to be sure opportunities are made available to specific populations known to have been subject to past discrimination, 2) "pipeline" affirmative action, meaning that all along the pipeline to job opportunities, communities, education providers and businesses were asked to cooperate to provide -affirmative- work to make sure that preparation opportunites were also available to these specific populations ... this for example may counter the effect where a household of say western-European extraction endows their children with sound knowledge of business and technology careers, but a family from another background, suffering little more than ignorance, literally isn't aware of those opportunities to impress their own children with, and 3) defensive AA, i.e.: the closest actual thing to a "quota", whereby for (again: large, not small) employers, statistics must be kept so that in the case of an EO/AA claim, if a statistical pattern of failing to hire/promote a specific group exists, then where it comes to the contested case, the company must prove it didn't discriminate (i.e.: a reversal of the burden of proof, on a case by case basis - and only when statistics deem it warranted).
The latter too is fairly easily undone-for example, if a company dismisses a protected minority from a role and the former employee files a complaint or sues, then the case is as much as dismissed if the replacement is a minority.OK - that's a lot of verbiage - much tougher than saying "quotas, boo hoo!", but that's what the actual law, actually was, and ... is.There's nothing in the law about "diversity". Diversity is an extra-legal method of making an end-run around the practical limits of AA that morph it into something it was never designed to be and it results in perversions exactly like what we see at Harvard, or the satirical/not-satirical cases of "all diverse" teams that are anything but.And check it out: you have the entire right-wing, from left-center all the way to "alt-right", responding extra-legislatively, through lawsuits or media, to "diversity", rather than taking any legislative steps at all - when we have legislation to crush injustices and mob movements - just like this .In other words: the right as much as completely impotented itself. It uselessly resists something that is extra-legal to start with.Rather than having these interminable disputes that seem to go nowhere except further down the rabbit hole an alternative posture would be to ask-demand, that GOP elected officials reinvigorate and strenuously enforce - affirmative action laws - as written, specifically with an intent to expose and clobber the sham that is "diversity".Let the left twist itself in knots resisting a right-wing that is: all gung-ho on Affirmative Action, i.e.: "Yes - Affirmative Action!, No - extra-legal diversity".How is the (U.S. government defined) "white" majority harmed by:
1. Institutions taking objective steps to make sure opportunities are made available to everyone
2. Institutions taking objective, affirmative steps to assure pipelines to opportunity are exposed to and available to everyone
3. Are subject to defensible judicial tests of non-discrimination
?AA - really isn't that bad - but for three decades we were told it was "quotas" and so it didn't get effectively implemented, it was diffused to assist people it was never meant for (upper middle class white women and Caribbean immigrants, e-hem), and since it was so effectively fought we got the mutated, Maoist form instead.Replies: @res
1. OK
2. OK

A single day walking around Seoul convinced me that there were really two races of Koreans: a soft, coastal one serving as a midpoint between the Chinese and Japanese face (a few years in Hawaii’s public schools had already sharpened my eye), and a harsh, wind-blown, darker and more Altaic one that might have just dismounted a horse in from the steppes.
I wonder if this latter type is more successful with the ladies.
Martial arts are the one sphere where Asian men can leapfrog other races and compete on personality and manliness. Interestingly, Japanese arrived in Brazil just as the slaves were freed. The latter had already developed capoeira, a more feminine dance which was a martial art in disguise.
Has anyone studied the black-Asian competition in mating, fighting, personality, pop culture, and school admissions in Brazil?
And swelling members.
This is the inevitable result of taking complex problems that should be resolved democratically and giving them over to idiots who think their degrees from Harvard Law School somehow give them insight into the workings of the universe. We have had one bad decision after another from these clowns simply because they think their legal experience gives them some special wisdom that lets them ignore the clear meaning of the law for some greater good.
If AA had been struck down as it should have been, some explicitly stated compromise could have been worked out that people could agree on (uncluding a sunset clause). It could have been limited to direct descendants of slaves or registered members of an officially recognized tribe. Few whites at the time would have been against a reasonable boost for these people.
Instead we get drivel from a moron like O’Conner that inevitably works to expand this nonsense to almost everybody in perpetuity.
-High Asian SAT scores are facilitated by a culture of route memorization and cram schools, usually starting many years if not decades prior to college application. This type of SAT prep is unhealthy and also confuses the cognitive assessment accuracy of the test.
-The personality assessments are correct. Asians, overwhelmingly, tend to be shy, meek, clannish, overly deferential to authority, and less creative.( I exclude South Asians from this). It's not unreasonable for elite universities to work to prevent their % of Asian students from going over 20%. They seek to train the future elite, and Asian characteristics do not align with the traits Americans like to see in their leaders.

Trump had been talking about trade policy and an out of balance foreign policy for decades, but Trump added a strong immigration component to his policy prescriptions, and he went absolutely politician berserker in bashing the Iraq War debacle of George W Bush. Voters loved it.
Trump also attacked GOP politicians for being puppets of GOP donors -- such as GOP donor Paul Singer owning GOP politician Marco Rubio -- and the GOP voter base rocketed Trump to the top of the polls.
I think Trump's main booster to winning over GOP presidential primary voters in 2016 was the IMMIGRATION issue. George W Bush had pushed amnesty for illegal alien invaders, and the GOP voters were in a boiling rage over that. Then McCain, Graham and Rubio and many other GOP politicians pushed the nation-wrecking Rubio/Obama Mass Legal Immigration Surge -- Illegal Alien Amnesty immigration bill(S 744) in 2013. Boehner had to kill that immigration bill(S 744) in the US House to prevent a bloody civil war over immigration policy in the GOP. That further riled up a large portion of the GOP electorate.

Lost in all of this is the fact that the CRA of 1964 included women, and that Affirmative Action has benefited women from the start. Arguably more so than the black men it was intended for. This had the effect of greatly increasing the supply of mid-range office labor.
It’s sort of becoming possible to admit that Im…Imm…Immigration into the US has had clear effect on wages for the working class and especially working poor. But it isn’t so easy to point out that expanding the supply of office workers contributed to the stagnation of wages for the middle class.
Women are arguably the biggest beneficiaries of AA and “diversity”, even though People of Color-of-skin-not-content-of-character are the more visible ones. There is of course zero chance of ever dialing back on this, even as women become the majority of college students, because of their ingroup preference. Therefore even as women wail louder about the lack of “good men” they will continue to take the special privileges, while denying they are doing anything of the sort.

I find that the better performing a minority in America is, the less of a need for representation in popular culture. Black people have it so miserable in America, that they look for the only victories that they can find, which is forcing pushover Whites to plaster Black faces all over the silver screen. If Blacks cannot do good in America, at least they can rub it in the faces of the global poor that they indeed are Americans at least. It’s needed to bolster their confidence after numerous defeats from life.
In addition, African Americans need constant affirmation in popular culture so people don’t pay attention to the disorder and crime that their communities bring to this country. It is reinforced gaslighting of the highest order.
Hispanics do good enough in America, that no one needs to think about them. Their incomes are growing just enough that there is really no discontent that pushes them to vote in mass numbers, and their crime rates are low enough that no higher power needs to coddle them, nor do other people make complaints about them. It’s telling that Steve Sailer, after more than a decade of blogging in the middle of Latino Los Angeles, has very little to say about his day to day life interactions with Hispanics.
It’s like why no one particularly cares about Italian Americans or Dutch Americans. They do good enough that they don’t make a fuss, and they are pleasant enough to live around that nobody else will make a fuss about them.
Our immigration system needs to be geared toward people who don’t make a fuss. However, people who don’t make a fuss in America aren’t reliable voters for the Democratic party, so there is an attempt to push for lettering in people who will make a fuss.
In addition, Global birthrates are trending toward the kind of folk who do make fusses, and away from the chill type of people who make civilization prosper.

I've no doubt that Sullivan himself, working-class Irish lad that he was, would have found Oxford a much less enriching experience without the gilded sons of the aristocracy still gracing its storied halls in his day.

I think that I’m less keen to this background information than you, Altan, but seeing now that Sullivan did go to Oxford, and then Harvard, makes his challenge to Harvard all the more impressive, to my mind. But then the pretense and protectionism of elitism may not appeal as strongly to him as others: he is genuinely elite.

Which is how disparate impact came into play. As no evidence of overt or invidious racial discrimination existed, disproportional racial/ethnic representation disparities will be presented as evidence–as if all racial/ethnic groups should be equally represented throughout society.
Why look upon decisions in federal court as if they’re based upon reason? Because they’re often just post-hoc rationalizations. They might also be lies. Ya know, everyone hates lawyers, and judges are lawyers who kissed a lot of bottoms.
To pretend legal race-theory somehow changed between now and 1964 is dubious to me. Surely the tune has been changed, but that’s just music. There need not be any solid rationale behind it. Take the gay “marriage” decision. (PLEASE!) No evolution in legal thinking whatsoever took place before the gavel fell upon human history from time immemorial. The evolution was political.
In the case of race-admissions, it’s politics as well. Asians can be useful against whites, but they are low man on the Dieversity totem pole. That’s it. Blacks and browns have more juice, therefore people think up stupid but hopefully convincing reasons to boost them.
Dubya wouldn’t need broad university policy to get by. He was always carried through life on a cloud of friends-and-family help. Also, he was Skull and Bones and they probably had secret spells and magic powders to apply upon professors for good grades.

An alternative option for expanding racial diversity is sitting in plain sight though. It wouldn’t rest on a neo-Marxist view of America; nor be a paradoxical liberal attempt to create a temporary exception for color-blindness in order to get to color-blindness in the future. That option is simply to end policies that rig the admissions process to benefit the super-rich and super-privileged. I’m talking about legacy admissions.
Yes, almost all of these students are white, but the criterion for choosing not to admit them is not their race, but simple fairness. No one should get an unearned advantage, by race or by class and connections and heredity. And one of the benefits of subjecting Harvard to discovery in this trial was the revelation that a whopping 43 percent of white students at Harvard are legacy and special admissions, i.e. there because they’re athletes, legacies, Dean’s List, or children of faculty. Of those, 70 percent would not be there on merit alone.
If you ended this affirmative action for the super-rich and connected, you’d free up almost a full third of admissions. It’s win-win! More fairness and more racial balance. And there are no constitutional issues involved in Harvard actually using academic merit as the core criterion for admission. What better way to attack “white supremacy” than ending a program that gives extra advantages to the already privileged and not-so-smart?

He’s quoting a recent Duke study that buried its own most striking conclusion, which was that if you eliminated legacy admits, sports admits, and AA at Harvard, you would of course wind up with a massive increase of Asians, about the same number of whites, and massive decreases of blacks and hispanics. And since the authors buried it, nobody knows about it except for a few internet cranks.
Some of those cranks probably read Andrew Sullivan, and he is relatively numerate, so it’s possible he could be set straight on this issue.
I’m familiar with him. He’ll be fine. In my assessment (obviously reading the tea leaves a bit), he’sa true believer. Good to have on our side.
They have a point, sorta, giving blacks high scores on “personality”. They’re probably going to be way more active in extracurriculars (esp student govt) than Asian grinds will be.
A diverse country needs a competent government, it doesn’t matter how diverse it is.
In the past 5-7 years, a lot of the white liberals I know have changed the way they say the word “diverse”. Before it was just a word in their vocabularies. Now whenever they say it they seem to pause reverently, like they’ve just said a mantra or incantation. Saying X is diverse is automatically assumed to be good with no other explanation or evidence necessary. In fact, once the D-word is spoken, no evidence needs to be given that X is actually diverse according to any commonly accepted(at least pre-2010) definition of the word(and X often isn’t).
Break up Harvard into threes:
Harvard A for Asians.
Harvard B for Blacks.
Harvard C for Caucasians.
PragerU for Others.

Well, whites make up ~33% of Harvard admits, so 43% of 33% gets you <15% of the admits. If you free that up, you just get more Asians and whites, ISTM, if you're going by grades & SATs.
And if you're going by grades & SAT scores, you get very few blacks and Hispanics–much fewer than currently. So you're just moving the chairs around on the Titanic for a different set of people who get in the lifeboats. Doesn't seem to answer the question.
If I understand your thinking, you are suggesting that statistical accounting should distinguish between Whites and (((Honorary Whites))) so it will be seen that it is the latter who are privileged, not common Whites. But when it comes to legal discrimination against Whites, it might be better to insist that (((Honorary Whites))) and standard-issue Whites are the same and must be treated exactly the same. Demand that Hershel Goldberg step aside for the sake of diversity. Fair and equal ethnic cleansing for all Persons of Non-color!
Hershel might soon find himself on the side of the White “racists.”

Best thing I’ve seen in roughly forever.
Not much about it in the MSM over here for some reason.
Alas, you’ve also pretty much explained why this disaggregation will never happen. (Funny, my Android device keeps insisting that I meant to type desegregation.)
I too sought out a trade instead of college, while engaging in many educational pursuits.
Pursuing a trade allowed me to earn a very comfortable living while having the time to truly educate myself.
I am comfortable discussing just about any subject with anyone from pre-schoolers, high-school dropouts, to those with advanced degrees and PhDs.
In fact, I have had PhDs remark positively about how truly educated I am despite lacking a college degree. There has been some negative criticism from insecure college types about my alternative learning of various subjects to these misguided individuals who resent my extensive knowledge and lifelong love for learning, despite not possessing a “college degree”..
In my younger years, it used to bother me, but no more it is THEIR problem, not mine.
Opening one’s mind does not require a college degree. In fact, there are those who made great strides in science and technology despite not having a college degree.
One prime example of this is the story of Stanford Ovshinsky. A machinist by trade, he came up with the idea of “amorphous semiconductors”. Traditional semiconductors are fabricated from crystalline structures, by complicated processes, which are then “doped” with various impurities to gives them unique electrical characteristics.
Ovshinsky’s method utilized non-crystalline methods which could be simply “sprayed” on a surface, while possessing these unique electrical characteristics, much less expensive to produce. He took his ideas to local universities, whose professors scoffed at him and told him that his ideas would not work.
He still pursued his line of ” thinking outside the box” and was extremely successful.
Multinational corporations such as Sony and Sharp have licensed his patented technology. These same universities, who initially rejected him, in later years, have invited him as a peer and have finally embraced his unconventional methods who they initially said wouldn’t work.
Thinking outside the box can be a lonely pursuit, but is quite often necessary to advance the technology. Mr. Ovshinsky himself, admitted that if he had received a traditional college education, he would not have come up with his successful ideas…

Highly unlikely as East Asian fertility is lower than that of Europeans, let alone Africans.
-High Asian SAT scores are facilitated by a culture of route memorization and cram schools, usually starting many years if not decades prior to college application. This type of SAT prep is unhealthy and also confuses the cognitive assessment accuracy of the test.
-The personality assessments are correct. Asians, overwhelmingly, tend to be shy, meek, clannish, overly deferential to authority, and less creative.( I exclude South Asians from this). It's not unreasonable for elite universities to work to prevent their % of Asian students from going over 20%. They seek to train the future elite, and Asian characteristics do not align with the traits Americans like to see in their leaders.
-Asians make up less 6% of the U.S population. By any reasonable standard, they are already vastly overrepresented among university students.
-Asians are relatively new to America and their loyalty is questionable. Chinese-Americans are regularly in the news for handing state and trade secrets to China.
-Tax payer money supports all universities, including elite private ones that receive billions in grants. Therefore, the diversity of the nation must be reflected in all institutions.
-The temperament and career interests (e.g pharmacist, doctor, dentist) of the typical straight-A, tiger-mom raised, cram school Asian with fake ECs done only to get into elite colleges is better served attending local universities rather than Harvard and its like.Replies: @anon, @Twinkie

Martial arts are the one sphere where Asian men can leapfrog other races and compete on personality and manliness. Interestingly, Japanese arrived in Brazil just as the slaves were freed. The latter had already developed capoeira, a more feminine dance which was a martial art in disguise.

Well, much as I like to trust your poetic rendition of Two Koreas and sensitivities, genetic studies show that Koreans – pretty much everywhere – are descended from roughly 2/3 Southeast Asian rice farmers and 1/3 Eastern Eurasian steppe/hunter-gatherer populations (the Japanese are roughly the same in composition).
The differences you saw are likely more reflective of class difference. Rural people who descend from peasants tend to have that “harsh, wind-blown, darker” appearance while city folks tend to have that pudgy-faced, fair skin tone. The major difference among Koreans these days is between South Koreans and North Koreans. The former are taller, healthier, and have higher IQ due to the much greater economic and social development and affluence. The latter are captives in a autarkic, dynastic, and communist nightmare and suffer accordingly – terrified, emaciated, unhealthy, and brutal.
Phenotypically, East Asians are fairer and taller northward and shorter and darker southward along the longitudinal axis. And, crudely-speaking, the fairer and the taller do better in the mating market.
