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 You’re wrong about a crucial point…. Asians aren’t 6% of the population; they’re 60% of the population.
Harvard’s student population comes from the whole world rather than just the U.S., so comparing the percentage of students of a certain race against the percentage of the U.S. population of that race is B.S.
It’s an intentionally misleading statistic used to make white students look underrepresented when in actuality they are drastically over represented.

@QasimRashid Harvard was absolutely in the wrong here.
They were abusing their race-based admissions policy to reinforce systemic white supremacy rather than to correct it.
The Supreme Court is *also* in the wrong because they are using Harvard’s bad behavior as an excuse to throw out the entire concept of Affirmative Action, when it’s clear that the problem was specific to Harvard’s implementation rather than a fundamental aspect of Affirmative Action.
