SCOTUS struck down AA b/c it’s allegedly discriminatory. Here’s the Facts:
•AA benefitted white women more than all other groups COMBINED—plaintiffs never complained about that
•43% of white Harvard students are legacy or athlete students, of which 75% would not be admitted otherwise—plaintiffs never complained about that
•Asians are 6% of the population & 26% of Harvard admissions—plaintiffs never complained about that
This SCOTUS ruling is 100% anti-fact & 100% anti-Black racism.
@QasimRashid It's an interesting shibboleth; consider these two facts:
1.) "Asians are 6% of the population & 26% of Harvard admissions"
2.) "Practically speaking, the school (Harvard) effectively mandated that Asian-American applicants score 140 points higher than white students" (https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-america-fell-out-of-love-with-affirmative-action)
Which of those facts pisses you off more?
I think in some way it has to do with how you think of individuals vs. groups.

Regarding the decision: schools are allowed to consider individual circumstances, but I don't know how practical it is to use that to address this problem.
